The LFD Robusto Selection packs 5 Dominican firecrackers into a sleek wooden display case, giving smokers a proper introduction to blender Litto Gomez's bold philosophy. These 5-inch robustos wear their strength on dark, oily sleeves - you'll find assorted ring gauges but consistent attitude across the sampler. At $40+ per 5-pack, they're priced like a VIP tasting ticket rather than daily drivers.
The initial light punches with black pepper and volcanic soil intensity - classic LFD foot aroma that clears sinuses. By the first inch, the smoke thickens into espresso grounds and bitter cocoa territory. Mid-section introduces leathery undertones with occasional walnut sweetness fighting through the earthy blanket.
These rolls mean business - tight bunches require deliberate draws. The dark wrappers show modest veins but impressive oil sheen. Burn lines stay sharp when humidity-controlled, though some cuts may canoe in damp weather. Smoke output stays theatrical throughout, generating creamy plumes that linger like Dominican afternoon humidity.
Rolled in La Romana using Cibao Valley tobaccos grown in iron-rich red soil. LFD's ligero-heavy blends get their muscle from sun-soaked Dominican filler leaves, fermented to extract every ounce of flavor. The sampler approach lets you taste different priming combinations - think of it as a brewery flight for full-bodied cigar fans.
