Meet the LFD El Carajon - a 4-inch machine-made cigarillo packing Dominican flavors into its petite 34-ring frame. These box-pressed smokes come in 100-count bundles at $342, delivering sweet aromas and medium strength perfect for quick sessions. The Ecuador Habano wrapper conceals a mix of Dominican filler tobaccos, burning with decent smoke output despite its compact size. Rolled in Santiago, these cigarillos maintain LFD's reputation for heavy-hitting blends scaled down for convenience.
Initial draws offer dry cedar and baking spices with a salty mineral tang. The thin smoke carries toasted almond notes, burning faster than hand-rolled cigars but maintaining even edges.
Peppercorn emerges alongside damp earth tones. A subtle molasses sweetness develops but gets interrupted by occasional bitter spots - likely from the short fermentation typical of machine-made tobacco.
Burnt coffee grounds dominate as the nub heats up. Nicotine presence becomes noticeable for a cigarillo, with lingering black pepper on the lips. Cut smoking at 25-minute mark to avoid harshness.
Rolled in LFD's Santiago factory using Dominican Piloto Cubano filler from La Canela farm. The Habano wrapper from Ecuador's Andean region adds dark fruit nuances. Machine-bunching creates denser draws compared to handmades, explaining the need for frequent relights.
