This petit corona from LFD's milder line surprises with its creamy smoothness. Packaged in boxes of 25 at $126, the 4x40 Connecticut-wrapped stick delivers Dominican tobacco's softer side while maintaining construction quality. Ideal for morning coffee pairings or as a gateway cigar for new smokers exploring beyond Cubans.
The cold draw offers faint almond sweetness. Initial puffs reveal toasted cedar with cream cheese spread undertones. Combustion stays razor-sharp, producing cool smoke that's easier on the palate than typical Dominican blends.
Flavors deepen to honey-glazed biscuits and cashew butter. Watch for delicate white pepper tingle on retrohale between 15-25 minute mark. Ash holds solid 1.5" before first tap.
Vanilla bean emerges at 45-minute mark but gets overshadowed by developing mineral notes. Recommend stopping at 1-hour point to avoid slight bitterness in last .5".
The box-pressed roll uses Dominican Cibao Valley filler and Nicaraguan binder under Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Triple cap holds firm despite slender 40 ring gauge. Aging process (6+ months) minimizes nicotine harshness - only slight tingle lingers post-smoke.
