Today was beautiful. and considering my wife and I had zero plans, I decided to smoke a larger format cigar/drink a few beers in the sunshine.
location: the alley behind my house
cigar: LFD Coronado
beverage of choice: God bless Texas
This a great looking smoke! huge too. The wrapper is a deep red.fairly dark, but not like a maduro. You can't see it in the pic but it also has a cool little pigtail.
The band is huge too, and cool looking, but unfortunately it fell off prior to lighting
I didn't get anything really interesting right away. good quality tobacco flavor with a little sweetness and just a hint of woody cedar. not a bad start.
over halfway through and the sweetness starts to pick up, but I was hoping for more of that cedar. still very satisfying though. burn and construction are perfect. I think I paid about $10 for this, and even though I'm not blown away by the flavor, it tastes and smokes like a $10 cigar. so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of it.
I'm getting near the end here and the flavor hasn't changed much. but now it's starting to taste more like a LFD. burn and construction have been perfect from start to finish.
final thoughts: This was a very satisfying cigar that was fun to smoke and cool looking too. The construction was just perfect and the taste was good enough to keep me interested until the end. still, I have to give the flavor a B+ instead of an A because there wasn't anything really unique about it.
