Meet the LFD L500 Natural - a 5 3/4"x60 gordo that packs more punch than a heavyweight boxer. Priced at $198.72 for 24 sticks, this Dominican beast uses the strongest ligero leaves from the top of tobacco plants. The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper glistens with oily sheen, hiding a nicotine payload that demands respect.
Initial puffs deliver black pepper spray to the palate with roasted coffee undertones. The thick smoke feels like chewing on espresso beans - intense but satisfying. Watch for slight tunneling issues that might require relighting.
Dark chocolate notes emerge through the haze, blending with caramelized oak. The retrohale reveals hidden cloves and leather undertones. Smoke production increases dramatically - exhale slowly unless you want to fog up the entire room.
Concentrated espresso bitterness takes over, saved by occasional black cherry acidity. The nicotine rush becomes noticeable around this point - keep sugary drinks nearby. Ash holds impressively until the 1.5" mark before needing taps.
Pair with sweetened black coffee or aged rum. Requires 65% humidity for optimal combustion. Newbies should try the LFD Suave first - this cigar's nicotine content has made seasoned smokers green before.
