Don Lucas H.S. Series Imperiale

This mild-medium Toro from Dominican Republic surprises with floral Sumatra wrapper wrapping spicy Dominican fillers. The 7x50 Churchill-sized stick comes in boxes of 25 priced at $229.50 - bolder than their Classic line but won't knock you out. Perfect for beachside smoking given its Punta Cana heritage.

Tasting Notes

First Third: Cedar and white pepper upfront with faint floral sweetness. Smoke production moderate, needing frequent draws to stay lit.

Middle Third: Baking spices emerge - think nutmeg and cinnamon - layered over toasted tobacco. Ash holds 1.5" before flaking.

Final Third: Develops leathery bitterness with increasing nicotine hit. Most smokers ditch last 2" as tar builds up.

Comparable Churchill-Sized Cigars

  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic (7"x48) - Creamier, less spice
  • Romeo y Julieta Churchill (7"x47) - More earthy, Cuban twang
  • Ashton Aged Maduro (6.75"x50) - Similar sweetness, better construction
  • La Aurora Preferidos Emerald (6.75"x54) - Stronger, espresso-forward

Factory Insights

Hand-rolled at the Punta Cana factory using tobacco aged 18-24 months. The family-owned operation limits daily production to 300 cigars - check for box date codes (YYMM format) when purchasing. Pro tip: These smoke better at 62-65% humidity despite Dominican origins.
