This box-pressed short lancero packs Dominican firepower into a 4 7/8" x 38 frame, priced at $226.80 for 24 cigars. The Oriental variant showcases LFD's signature Pelo de Oro wrapper sun-grown on their La Canela farm, aged four years for intense mineral-forward flavor. Rolled with mixed fermentation tobaccos, it's built for full-body enthusiasts craving complexity.
Initial puffs deliver volcanic soil minerality and black pepper bite. The square-press creates focused heat with roasted coffee bean bitterness. Dry cinnamon stick notes emerge around the 15-minute mark against tight white ash.
Caramelized walnut sweetness balances the pepper onslaught. Earth transitions to charred cedar planks, with occasional baking chocolate flashes. Moderate smoke output requires deliberate draws.
Leathery tannins dominate as nicotine builds. Burnt brown sugar sweetness lingers between tar-heavy exhales. Most smokers stop at 50-minute mark before bitterness overwhelms.
Grown in volcanic soil at LFD's La Canela farm in northern Dominican mountains. The Oriental wrapper undergoes 18-month sun-curing with triple fermentation. Binder/filler leaves age separately before barrel-aging the completed blend.
Dry-box for 48 hours before smoking to intensify mineral notes. Pair with Dominican rum (Brugal 1888 recommended) to complement the spice. Rotate every 15 seconds to prevent canoeing in this thin format.
