Meet the LFD LG Diez Dominicano - a 6 7/8"x50 box-pressed Churchill that'll make your humidor sit up straighter. This Dominican puro packs serious firepower with its Pelo de Oro wrapper grown on LFD's own farms. At $345.60 for 24 sticks, it's not your everyday smoke, but when you want to flex some cigar muscle, this full-bodied beast delivers.
The initial puff hits with black pepper and minerality that'd make a geologist proud. There's an earthy undertone from LFD's signature pit-fermentation process - think damp forest soil after rain. Smoke production? Thick enough to qualify as wall insulation.
Around the inch mark, espresso grounds and charred cedar emerge. The nicotine kick (we warned you about "full-bodied") demands slow smoking. Ash holds tight in compact layers - decent construction despite the rustic appearance.
Leather and cinnamon spice take over near the nub. Watch out though - that strength builds like compound interest. Newbies might tap out here, but veterans will savor the lingering creaminess that sticks to your palate like good bourbon.
This isn't some rushed blend - the Dominicano uses four-year-aged tobacco from LFD's San Juan Martínez farms. The box-press isn't just for looks; it creates a denser smoke channel. Wrapper veins are nearly invisible under that oily sheen, though the pigtail cap might unravel if you're rough with the cutter.
