This 6 5/8" x 44 Lonsdale offers Dominican tobacco wrapped in silky Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf. Sold in boxes of 25 for $199.61, it's rolled at La Romana's Tabacalera de García factory with Boveda humidification packs. The medium-bodied smoke delivers consistent burns that'll last you 90+ minutes - perfect when you need predictable quality without breaking a sweat.
The initial third hits with bakery warmth - think fresh-baked brioche dipped in vanilla cream. Draw resistance stays minimal, letting cool wisps of cedar smoke coat the palate. Transitioning past the first inch, roasted almond emerges beneath the creamy body, accompanied by faint white pepper tingle on retrohale.
Midway through, the smoke gains texture with pulpy orange peel nuances. Caramelized sugar sweetens the earthy core without going cloying. Burn line stays razor-sharp, producing compact ash that holds past two inches. Some users report slight tunneling in high humidity - keep these at 65% RH for optimal performance.
Final third introduces espresso grounds bitterness that tempers earlier sweetness. Leather notes develop as heat accumulates, though never crossing into harsh territory. While nicotine strength remains moderate, the extended 6.5" format provides satisfying weight for slow evening sessions.
Dominican Piloto Cubano filler tobaccos aged 3+ years create the creamy base, supported by Nicaraguan binder leaves for structure. The Ecuador-grown Connecticut shade wrapper undergoes extra fermentation cycles to eliminate grassy notes. All components meet at General Cigar's La Romana facility, where torcedores apply semi-bunching techniques to ensure loose-but-consistent draws ideal for beginners.
