This 7.5"×38 ring gauge lancero comes packed with Dominican firepower - $253.80 for 20 sticks makes it a serious investment for full-bodied lovers. The pencil-thin vitola hides LFD's signature Pelo de Oro wrapper grown on their own farm, backed by 4-year-aged binder and filler tobacco. Don't let the slender shape fool you; this cigar's like loading a .50cal bullet into a rifle barrel.
Cold draw brings damp earth and iron mineral notes. Initial puffs release black coffee bitterness with burnt toast edges. Smoke output's surprisingly dense for 38 ring - like exhaling storm clouds. Retrohale stings with white pepper, fading into licorice sweetness.
Cocoa powder emerges through charred oak backbone. Watch for nicotine kick around the 2" mark - tighter draws amplify the buzz. Ash holds firm in 1.5" segments. Pairing tip: Demerara rum cuts through the intensity.
Leather and black cherry emerge as combustion heats up. Last 2 inches turn fiery with cinnamon spice and coal-like finish. Smart move to quit before nub stage unless you're nicotine-hardened.
All-Dominican trio showcases LFD's agricultural muscle: - Wrapper: Pelo de Oro from La Canela farm's volcanic soil - Binder: Piloto Cubano leaves for combustion control - Filler: San Vicente Seco & Ligero from 2018 harvest Aged 4 years in Corojo-style pilones. Construction shows in razor-sharp burn line despite high primings content.
