Meet the LFD 1994 Beer Stein - a full-bodied Toro celebrating the brand's 20th anniversary in style. This 6"x54 stick comes packed in collectible ceramic beer steins, rocking a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobaccos grown at La Canela farm since 1994. Priced at $13.32 per cigar in 20-count boxes, it's that special occasion smoke that wants to punch your taste buds with savory sweetness.
Unlit draw serves raisin sweetness through tight resistance. The initial light-up brings black pepper spray across the tongue with cedar undertones. Thick smoke carries roasted almond notes - typical LFD spice amplified by 54 ring gauge heat management.
At 15-minute mark, the cigar shifts gears. Cocoa powder mixes with damp earth flavors through the nose, while lips detect caramelized sugar on the wrapper. Burn line stays sharp despite the thick gauge. Watch for nicotine buildup - this section separates casual smokers from veterans.
Last third introduces espresso bitterness and leather tones. Smoke turns creamier but more potent, requiring slower draws. Retrohale shows mineral notes and baking spices. Most enthusiasts stop at 1.5" remaining due to intensified tar accumulation. Post-smoke finish lingers 45+ minutes.
These need 65% RH aging for 6+ months to soften initial harshness. Pair with black coffee or aged rum - sweet cocktails amplify the cigar's natural bitterness. The ceramic stein packaging actually works great as a dry box for 72 hours pre-smoke.
