This 6x54 Toro in LFD's signature Chisel tip format comes pre-aged in flashy gold tubes. The box of 5 costs $81 - that's $16.20/stick for this Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped powerhouse. Squeeze the patented flat cap instead of cutting, and prepare for Nicaraguan/Dominican tobaccos that'll kick your palate awake.
Cold Draw: Raisin sweetness with barnyard earthiness. Pre-light aroma smells like damp cedar chips.
Black pepper spice hits immediately - classic LFD DNA. Charred oak and espresso grounds dominate, with dark chocolate undertones. Smoke production surprises at medium-plus output despite tight draw.
Baking spices (clove/nutmeg) emerge through leathery base. Retrohale brings black cherry notes that cut the bitterness. Ash holds 1.5" before dropping - decent combustion.
Nicotine punch becomes noticeable at 45-minute mark. Mineral twang mixes with burnt caramel sweetness. Requires relight past band point - common in 54+ rg maduros. Finish leaves cedar tannin dryness.
Drybox 24hrs before smoking - the gold tube traps moisture. Pair with espresso or Mexican Coke to balance strength. First-time LFD smokers should try smaller vitolas like Chiselito before this powerhouse.
