Meet the La Flor Dominicana DL-700 Natural - a 6.5"x60 power stick that'll make your humidor tremble. This Dominican beast comes in boxes of 20, priced around $201.60, packing more nicotine punch than a triple espresso. The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper hides double ligero leaves from LFD's own farms, creating what regulars call "the cold sweat special". Perfect when you want flavor notes that slap harder than a Caribbean hurricane.
Black pepper smacks your palate immediately, followed by espresso grounds and bitter cocoa. The thick smoke carries a woody backbone - think freshly split oak logs. Retrohale brings mineral notes like licking a volcanic rock (in the best way possible).
Pepper mellows into roasted almond territory. Leather emerges alongside damp soil aromas, like walking through a rainforest after rain. Watch for nicotine creep - this ain't no morning smoke.
Cocoa transforms into burnt caramel sweetness, balancing the persistent coffee bitterness. Cinnamon spice tingles the tongue, while the dense smoke leaves charcoal residue on your lips. Cut it at 1.5" unless you enjoy ashy nightmares.
The oily Connecticut Shade wrapper disguises its strength well. Requires precise storage at 65% RH - too dry and it burns hotter than Santiago asphalt in August. Pair with bourbon or dark rum; milk won't cut it here.
