LFD Limitado IV

[JJG]

no luck smoking last night, hopefully I'll get around to it today. I guess the reason I've never smoked one of these is because the LFDs I always see in B&Ms all say "double ligero" and I had a hard time believing they could be super strong and smooth/well balanced at the same time. I asked the guy yesterday specifically for one that was NOT double or triple ligero.

They are all good smokes. I love the LFD line.

I have no idea why you would not try a cigar based upon a misconception. Why would you think ligero content had anthing to do with a master blenders ability to make a smooth blend?

You're right, I'm not really in any position to make assumptions about this particular brand since I've never smoked one. However, I'd say my opinion is based on personal experience rather than misconceptions. I should not have suggested that it's impossible to make a strong cigar that's also smooth. Hell, some of my favorite marcas are also considered to be the strongest and I find them incredibly smooth. Partagas, Bolivar and since we're talking Dominican, the Opus X are all very strong but also smooth and well blended.

I'm just skeptical when I see cigars advertised as "super fuerte" or something similar because in my experience, they usually don't taste good. I'm about to smoke this one and I am pretty confident I'll enjoy it. If so, I'll make sure to try the rest of the line, including the double ligero.
