This box-pressed figurado from La Flor Dominicana demands attention with its signature chisel tip - squeeze the flattened head to unlock concentrated smoke. At 6"x54 ring gauge, it's packed with aged Dominican/Nicaraguan filler wrapped in oily Cameroon leaf. The $198/box price positions it as a premium boutique smoke for experienced enthusiasts.
The initial third serves roasted almonds and cinnamon through dense smoke. Pepper emerges at midpoint alongside espresso notes - typical of LFD's ligero-heavy blends. Final third turns earthy with mineral undertakes, requiring slow pacing to manage nicotine punch.
Box-pressed body maintains sharp edges without canoeing. The Cameroon wrapper shows visible oil despite its matte appearance. Perfect draw resistance - not too airy despite the unconventional shape. Ash holds firmly for 1.5-2" segments.
Pinch the chisel tip firmly until you hear the wrapper crackle. This creates optimal airflow without compromising structure. Pair with mineral water to amplify the Cameroon's natural sweetness.
