This dark horse from LFD demands attention with its oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper hugging a 5x50 Robusto frame. The Colorado Oscuro No.3 delivers exactly what seasoned smokers crave - bold flavors that punch through without apology. Let's cut through the smoke: this stick's not for lightweights.
First Third: The opening salvo hits with black coffee grounds and cracked peppercorns. Smoke texture feels thick enough to chew, leaving an espresso-bitter finish that demands sip of bourbon.
Middle Third: Charred cedar emerges, blending with unsweetened cocoa powder. Notice how the nicotine strength builds gradually - that's LFD's signature slow-release intensity at work.
Final Third: Dark chocolate bitterness peaks, accompanied by mineral notes akin to licking a granite slab. Savory smokers will relish this stage; others might tap out before the nub.
Let these rest at 62-65% RH for optimal combustion. The wrapper's oil content means they can handle slightly drier conditions without cracking. Pair with black coffee or aged rum to amplify the dark flavors.
