La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel

[NorCalCigarLover]

I thought I'd revive this thread, having recently had an opportunity to sample a La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel, and share my experience. Overall, this was a very nice smoke. I think it could use a several more months in the humi to age a bit and to dry out. A solid smoke, but not sure it amounts to 13 syllables of goodness.

I'm a sucker for a cigar with a unique shape and the LFD Chisel didn't disappoint in that regard. The construction on these sticks is excellent. Nice very dark wrapper. Good prelight aroma. I chopped the cap and lit it up. The draw was a tad tight -- probably a result of the cigar seeming a bit wet. Not a ton of smoke. This cigar starts fairly robust and continues to build throughout. It seemed to be somewhat similar in flavor to a JdN Antano -- despite the LFD being a DR cigar and the JdN being from Nicaragua. Cigar kept from getting harsh, remained cool, and kept a steady, even burn. Particularly in the last third, there were nice hints of chocolate and spicey flavors. Not sure if it was because my smoking followed a fairly hearty meal, but this particular cigar didn't seem to pack the same buzz that I've read in other reviews and consistently found in the JdN. It had some punch mind you, just not the "umm, not quite ready to stand up" shot to the gut that the JdN routinely provides.

Overall, I think it would be best to pick up a box of these and let them sit in the humi for some time. It would be a good occasional smoke. But, its not something that's going to unseat my go to cigar from its throne. And, for around $6 a stick, the competition is stiff.

Found this review in another thread and after trying one of these a few minutes ago I thought it deserved its own thread. Holy smokes! what a nice cigar this was. This is another one that was gifted to me but for the life of me I can't remember who it was :laugh:

This cigar has been sitting in the humidor for a good 2-3 weeks at least, so it was ready to go. The burn was absoultely perfect and the flavors were spot on for my palate tonight, not overly spicy but enough complexity throughout to keep it interesting. I don't know if it was the booze that I was pairing with this smoke but this cigar was perfect in every way, burn, flavor, smoke, complexity.

Dang .... with cigars like this I'm going to need to build an Atuck style storage facility soon.

This cigar became one of my favorites really quick. Need to keep my eyes open for deals on them without the California taxes

I found this one (actually the Chisel Gorda) to be a knockout spicebomb, almost on par with a VSG. Toasty with a strong cedar character, and very subtle notes of vanilla.

I fell in love with the Chisels. Personally I prefer the maduro, but they are similar to the Padrons where both the natural and maduro are great in their own right. The chiselitos are great as well. They have a very similar flavor, are price well, and are small for us cold weather brothers.

Just got an e-mail from 2 guys stating that these are in stock as of today. Still debating whether or not to bite with so many anticipated releases over the holidays

You are kidding I just had one of these today! It was a awesome smoke!
It had a filter shape tip not sure what it is called? Is this the chisel shape you are referring to?

I sure would like to know! It was one I received from cigar pool.
