Let's talk about this green stunner from LFD - the Double Claro No.50 packs a 5"x50 Robusto shape with that rare Ecuadorian Candela wrapper glowing like emerald fire. At around $8 per stick in 25-count boxes, it's a conversation piece that won't vaporize your wallet. The pale green cloak hides Dominican filler and Nicaraguan binder, creating what I'd call a "starter cigar for curious intermediates."
The first inch hits with crisp hay sweetness backed by faint almond flour texture. Smoke feels airy like morning mist through a meadow - barely any pepper bite. Midway transitions to roasted cashew territory with lemon peel acidity keeping it fresh. Final third brings subtle chamomile tea notes before nicotine whispers "wrap it up" at nub time.
The box-pressed roll holds dense ash without canoeing, though that fragile Candela wrapper demands careful storage. Pair with light roast coffee or sparkling wine to highlight its grassy character. While veterans might crave more complexity, this Dominican-Nicaraguan-Ecuadorian collab works magic for summer afternoons when you want flavor without commitment.
