This LFD Andalusian Bull comes packaged in a collectible leather case holding six cigars (sold separately), with only 2,000 boxes produced annually. Measuring 6.5"×64 ring gauge, the box-pressed torpedo features a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and full-strength Dominican-Nicaraguan blend. First released in 2016 as CA's #1 Cigar of the Year, its limited availability makes it a "unicorn" find among premium cigar hunters.
Cold draw reveals raisin sweetness through the triple cap. Initial puffs punch with black pepper and cayenne spice, mellowing into cedar planks and leather after 15 minutes. Thick smoke output coats the palate, with visible oil rings forming at the ash line. Retrohale carries faint floral hints beneath the heavy spice.
At the 45-minute mark, baking spices emerge - think clove and nutmeg - alongside molasses-soaked oak. The Sumatra wrapper adds caramelized sugar notes balancing the Dominican filler's white pepper zing. Burn requires one touch-up, likely due to the box-pressed shape's airflow dynamics.
Last hour introduces espresso bitterness and 85% dark chocolate. Despite the heavy body, no harshness develops. Nicotine strength becomes apparent at the nub - experienced smokers report lightheadedness if puffed faster than every 90 seconds. Perfect combustion leaves a firm gray ash holding 2+ inches.
