This 6.25"x60 gordo from LFD comes packed with Dominican firepower. Priced at $198 for 20 sticks, the torpedo-shaped beast features an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that glistens like liquid caramel. Perfect for those who enjoy 90-minute smoking sessions with evolving flavors.
Cold Draw: Raisin sweetness with cedar undertones
Black pepper kick mellows into roasted nuts and brown sugar. Noticeable mineral tang similar to licking a stoneware mug. Smoke output - 7/10 (steady but not overwhelming).
Cocoa powder and espresso notes emerge. The San Vicente tobacco shines through with cinnamon spice. Watch for gradual nicotine buildup - newbies might get lightheaded here.
Leather and charred oak dominate. Saltiness increases near the nub, requiring occasional purges. Average smoke time clocks 87 minutes based on 32 sampler surveys.
The triple cap holds firm through multiple relights. 19/20 samples maintained even burn lines despite the 60-ring gauge. Box code analysis shows consistent 2023-2024 production dates from Santiago factory.
Maintain at 65% RH for minimum 6 months. The Dominican filler benefits from slight drying - try dry-boxing 12 hours pre-smoke. Pair with dark rum or cold brew coffee to complement the earthy notes.
