The La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet No.3 comes in 24-count boxes with 4 3/4" x 40 box-pressed parejos. Priced at $138.24 per box, these cigars pack aged Dominican/Nicaraguan filler blend beneath a dark oily Cameroon wrapper. LFD's signature full-strength profile makes it a conversation starter among boutique cigar enthusiasts - though that 40 ring gauge might feel slightly slim for modern palate preferences.
The oily Cameroon wrapper delivers immediate white pepper spice through the nose. Leathery undertones emerge alongside faint walnut notes, with smoke output staying moderate. Box-press construction maintains sharp burn line without canoeing.
Dominican ligero takes center stage - espresso bitterness balances the wrapper's sweetness. Retrohale shows baking spices (cinnamon/nutmeg) with maple syrup undertones. Slight tar buildup occurs near final third.
Nicaraguan tobacco introduces dry cocoa powder texture. The 40 ring gauge feels restrictive for modern preferences, concentrating heat in last inch. Finish leaves black tea tannins on palate.
The prized Cameroon wrapper undergoes 24+ month aging in Caribbean climate. Grown in volcanic soil near Sanaga River basin, these leaves develop signature oil content balancing sweetness and spice. Binder uses Dominican Piloto Cubano leaf for combustion control.
That aged ligero core delivers consistent power without harshness - but the slim format demands slower pacing. Paired best with espresso or aged rum. Worth trying for Cameroon enthusiasts, though I'd prefer wider ring gauges for better heat management. What's your experience with LFD's smaller vitolas? #CigarLounge #TightDraws
