I had it in the box for about three days -- it probably could have used a bit longer. It smoked well and had a sweet, floral taste, along with a deeper, leathery undertone throughout the whole thing. The first half inch or so was absolutely fantastic, then it was sort of one dimensional (but good) for most of the rest. The last inch was really full flavor on the retro. Cold draw was pretty nonexistent, but the wrapper smelled amazing, and it had an incredible oily shine to it.

LFD Double Ligero Oscuro. They tend to be very oily and your next could use a week for n the dry box. Good for you, taking down a Man’s Cigar. Welcome to Flavor Town.

Well, that would explain the slight wobbliness afterwards. Wow, thanks for telling me AFTERWARDS. Had I known it was an LFD, I wouldn't have chased the JL2 with it!

How is the caribbean reserve?

How is the caribbean reserve?

Good. It’s like a sweeter version of the regular Glenlivot. If you dig regular scotch, but like a little bit more sweetness try it. Plus it’s $10 less where I live.

Decided to ‘get one in’ before the verf, but the wife is feeling sickly so this is gonna have to do instead.
a Stick from an awesome ‘friend.’ I put it in quotes because when you are sending nudes to them it gets kinda confusing (sorry chad, I’m needing more cigar money so had to branch out to others).

anywho, this guy open with a mild-medium with some light pepper, nuts, cream, and a little leather. So tasty. No burn on retrohale at all so I am literally smoking it through my nose to taste all the yummy. Also, it has a leaf on the band, which I’m pretty sure means it has some bud in it so super stoked to get chill and smash some Funyuns.
starting to increase in strength lightly with more cream, slight leather, little more pepper and slight burn on the retrohale. I can start to see, after smoking some different ones from different awesome brothers here that punch does have their own type flavor, and it ain’t bad man. I’m loving this. Also, getting more tingle on my tongue, and nuts, I mean my nuts are tingling, but with the drinking you lose sodium so I found an awesome way to get sodium back into your system cause ya sweat more through your balls. More on that later...
Burning my finger tips but....it’s just the tip...anywho, this thing kicked up a notch to medium full (more towards the full side) and my tongue feels like I may have a stroke with the tinglingnesses (it’s a word, don’t google it). Leather is there now with pepper, good tobacco flavor and slight cream. I haven’t been drinking much just to enjoy this more but definitely have a buzz going on.

like talking about my cousins at a family reunion here in the south, 10 outta 10 would do this again.
