The La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Chisel hits with LFD's signature intensity in a distinctive 6½"x54 figurado shape. Priced at $201.60 per box of 20, this full-bodied Dominican puro features an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and unique chisel-cut head that demands precise clipping. Watch your fingers - this box-pressed beast weighs in at 54 ring gauge with military-grade construction.
The chisel tip delivers concentrated espresso notes with black pepper spice that tingles the sinuses. Expect heavy earth tones and dark chocolate intensity through the nose - a 90% cocoa kind of dark. The box-pressed construction burns razor-straight, producing dense white smoke that clings to clothing.
Leather and walnut emerge as the burn line passes the band. Retrohale reveals baking spices - nutmeg and allspice - with a caramelized sugar sweetness that tempers the strength. Smoke output increases noticeably, requiring slower draws to manage heat.
Mineral notes develop alongside charred oak in the home stretch. The nicotine wallop becomes pronounced around the 45-minute mark. Wise smokers stop before the nub to avoid bitterness, though diehards are rewarded with intense cocoa powder finish.
Born from LFD's Dominican farms using 2-year-aged ligero leaves, the Air Bender combines Brazilian binder with Ecuadorian wrapper for structural integrity. The chisel head design isn't just cosmetic - it compresses filler leaves to alter combustion dynamics, creating that signature slow burn LFD fans crave.
