> La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Cigars > La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Essentials - Andalusian Bull Sampler
This mixed LFD sampler packs a flavorful punch with its 10 cigar assortment, featuring the cult-favorite Andalusian Bull alongside other Dominican powerhouses. At $139.99 per box, it's your backstage pass to LFD's boldest blends without hunting down individual rare releases. The showcase piece - 6.5"x64 Andalusian Bull - stands out with its curved culebra-inspired shape and glossy Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.
Initial puffs deliver dark espresso bitterness with baking spices. The tight draw (common in fresh Bulls) requires slow puffing. Expect black pepper tingle on retrohale and dense smoke output. Ash holds firm for 1.5" despite complex construction.
Burned caramel sweetness balances earlier intensity. Leather and cedar emerge through nutmeg-dusted dark chocolate notes. Smoke becomes creamier as the widest ring section burns. Watch for canoeing - rotate every 3-4 puffs.
Last third introduces raisin-like fruitiness with mineral undertones. Strength spikes near band point - keep sweet drinks handy. Pepper returns subtly in nasal exhale. Most smokers stop before 1.5" remaining to avoid harshness.
LFD's Dominican-grown ligero leaves from Cibao Valley farms give the signature power. Andalusian Bulls get extra fermentation in pilones (tobacco piles) for 12+ months. Each figurado shape takes 3 rollers 40+ minutes to craft - production capped at 800 boxes/year globally.
