Found this beauty in a (the only) cigar shop in the Ft Walton / Destin area. Looked and smelled great so I brought her to my hotel. I actually held ou a day or two, but could resist no longer so we went outside and I curled up around a good book, Guiness and one hellovasmoke!
Famous Smoke has this to say:
<<La Flor Dominicana DL Chisel cigars are very full-bodied cigars meticulously handcrafted with powerful ligero fillers and rich-tasting Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrappers. Like the regular La Flor Dominicana cigars, La Flor Dominicana DL Chisel cigars are considered to be among the finest cigars made in the Dominican Republic. This is a highly reputable label that cigar smokers really should experience, especially if you love full tobacco flavor.
Country: Dominican Republic
Length/Ring: 6 1/4 x 54
Shape: Figurado
Wrapper: Dark Natural
Strength: Full>>
And that doesn't even come close. I rated it a 9 or 10 in everything. In the past, the few ligero filled cigars I've had offer a punch from the get go and seem almost acrid on lighting, but this was a very smooth start. It built in strength, bidy and complexity through most of th smoke and leveled off somewhere around 1-2 inches remaining. I did have some personal issues getting used to the chisel tip, since this was my first, and nearly lost it more than once while flipping pages.
I'm still not good at the flavor ID as my palate is not good yet, not to mention the impact the beer had on my taste, though I thought they went real well together. This was definitel;y one of the more potent smokes I've had. I found that I needed a small bite to eat and water before bed to ease some minor stpomach rumblings from the culmination of food deprivation, alchohol and a strong stogie.
Definitely a cigar requiring a repeat performance though... and if the FL CPers ever answer my call to arms (Here) then I will proabbly grab a few for the HERF, if we have one.
Hope this helps y'all.... still trying to refine the whole review... thing.
