La Flor Dominicana and Litto Gomez love - Page 7

Very interested to hear opinions on Oro, also. B&M last night had them, but at $13 and change, I put it back....then picked up what the tobacconist called a "new, softer, double press"....the cheapskate in me put that one back, too. I probably should have gotten one of each. Maybe tonight.

But, on the other hand, the $9 Duena PL that I DID choose was fantastic.

Since I'm already off topic, would someone please tell the cigar makers to not name cigars with three-letter names!! Makes searching for them on forums a real PITA.

Had my 1st Air Bender on Monday.....it will not be my last. That was a great smoke.

Ha! You got me!

I hope everyone is enjoying all the new LFD stuff out there now (mystery, taa , Texas cigar festival) I know I am. Btw, nice ash cigars has 5 packs of the Factory Press IV for 37$ if interested.

Those are smokin great right now too. Had one a few months back and it seemed to be in a sick period. Was gifted a couple by a regular at work and they were

LFD Mystery stick is a good one. Lighting up one of the 2013 TAA Double Press Maduros in the shed at Volts tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Gonna let the few LFD Cigar Festival sticks I have sit for awhile, they feel a tad "spongy" and may not be ready just yet.

Enjoyed a LFD Air Bender Maduro (6.5x54) this morning with a good cup of Café Bustelo thanks to fellow squid Jake (688sonarmen).

I'll give this smoke 4 out of 5 anchors Jake

...and thank you for the smoke

I generally punch cut anything 50 rg and over as I did on the Barn Maduro. In addition, I was letting this stick rest about 1 1/2 minutes or so between puffs. Thus, it produced some really nice flavors over the 100+ minutes I spent with it. Again, a very nice enjoyable smoke

688sonarmen · 05-31-2013, 03:05 PM

Ive been punching my cigars as well lately to try and concentrate the flavors and I like a more firm draw. I have read where this can be done on a chisel but have never tried it. It said to punch only one layer/side of the wrapper/binder about 1/2 inch from the tip.

That's an interest note Jake. Guess a trip to Valencia Cigars is in order this weekend

As if some of Litto's smokes weren't tough enough (ie Digger, DL 700) you might want to try and man handle the double ligero "A" Oscuros (9.00 x 48). I laid up a couple boxes a few months ago. They are an investment in time, but after a huge steak you can tackle 'em To make sure I have some coffee with lots of sugar available.
