This 6x54 figurado-shaped beast packs serious punch with its oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Priced at $233.28 for 24 cigars, LFD's torpedo uses Ligero leaves from the sunniest upper tobacco plant sections. The Dominican producers grow their own binder/filler tobaccos in La Canela's volcanic soil - total control from seed to cigar.
Black pepper slaps your palate immediately - Dominican power without apology. Dry cedar notes emerge through the spice cloud, with earth undertones and faint roasted almonds.
Espresso bitterness takes command as pepper retreats. Bakers chocolate and leather surface at the 40-minute mark, with cinnamon stick aromas in nasal retrohale.
Caramelized sugar sweetness balances the intensity. Expect charred oak flavors and lingering chili heat - nicotine buildup demands slow pacing.
LFD's La Canela estate grows Ligero leaves under intense Caribbean sun. The 18-month pilón fermentation in cedar rooms reduces harshness while preserving oil content. Ecuador's cloud-covered Sumatra wrapper fields add parchment-thin elasticity.
Pair with dark rum or espresso. Not a beginner's stick - seasoned smokers report 90+ minute sessions when taking proper rest between draws. Many users recommend 2+ years aging to mellow the pepper assault.
