LFD Chapter One

I am going to attempt to do a "real time" review of this cigar.....so bear with me......
Here is a look at the cigar, "pre-light". A dark, smooth Brazilian wrapper, box-pressed. Hints of dark chocolate when catching the aroma at the foot.




Upon lighting this up, I get an immediate rush of both spice and cocoa. I love the nose tingle of this cigar, right from the start! After the initial rush, it quickly settles down just a bit, still very full bodied and very flavorful.

Now about 10-minutes into the cigar, the burn is fairly even, but not razor sharp. The ash is slightly flakey, the strength and flavor remains full at this point. Very enjoyable so far!







Okay, made it thru the middle section. The flavor and strength remain even....while mellowing just a bit. The burn is a little uneven, requiring a touch-up a time or two. As I'm entering the final third of the cigar, the strength kicks up a notch, but remains smooth. The ash, I believe you can see, is just a bit flakey.




All finished! Overall impression......Very spicy at first, somewhat "in your face" kick at the beginning, which I like! After the first 5 minutes it settled into a smoother but still full bodied, full strength smoke. Not a lot of complexity IMO, but very tasty throughout. Mellowed out a bit midway, and got spicier toward the last third. A steady cocoa taste with spice in the background, I guess a "typical" LFD flavor profile. Never turned bitter. I would definitely smoke more of these in the future. This particular vitola was about a two hour smoke......very enjoyable! My only "complaint" if you will was the burn was just a little uneven, but not dramatically so. I'd give this one a solid 3 1/2 stars out of five rating.
