Meet the LFD Capitulo I/Chapter 1 - a box-pressed beast wrapped in Brazilian darkness. This 6½"×58 figurado comes in boxes of 10 for $126, packing Dominican-grown firepower with its patented Chisel head that lets you pinch-and-smoke without a cutter. Tony Gomez's debut blend means business, combining volcanic soil tobacco with enough ligero leaves to knock your socks off.
The cold draw punches with black pepper. Initial puffs release burnt cedar and dark roast coffee notes. Smoke production stays moderate despite the massive ring gauge. The patented Chisel tip actually improves draw consistency compared to traditional box-pressed cigars.
Espresso bitterness takes center stage with cinnamon undertones. Retrohale brings out roasted nuts - think charred almonds. The dense ash holds strong for 1.5" before dropping. Construction remains impeccable with no touch-ups needed.
Leather and mineral earthiness emerge through the nicotine haze. The last inch intensifies with chili pepper spice. I tapped out at 90-minute mark when tar buildup started affecting flavor clarity.
The oily Brazilian wrapper shows minimal veins. Firm pack density requires slower smoking pace. LFD's signature box-press technique creates sharp edges that actually enhance grip. Unique chisel tip stays intact throughout smoking - no unraveling issues.
