Several years ago I was fortunate to have a very good vendor from Arizona throw in a couple of 'freebies' with a box purchase of LFD Maduro 'Digger.'
I certainly was not expecting to be the recipient of the two additional cigars; they retailed for ~$30 total for the two sticks.
Of course I sent Sam & Rosie a thank you email letting them both know how much I really appreciated their very kind & generous gesture.
One of the two freebie cigars I received from Sam & Rosie was a La Flor Dominicana Litto Gomez Diez Cubano 5 x 50.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When I eventually tried the cigar It was love at first puff.![Smiling face with heart-eyes :heart_eyes: 😍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png)
I went on to purchase the LFD LG Diez in several vitolas as singles, 5 packs, and a couple of boxes.
There is just something very special (to me) about the LG Diez blend, and it seems to translate very well through all the different vitolas.
Over time it has been nearly impossible to locate the LFD LG Diez in any size.
Last February, 2020, I wrote to LFD, and I was surprised to hear back from LFD VP of Sales, Jon Carney.
Mr. Carney explained that other 'projects' were interfering with the intended re-introduction of the LG Diez blend, and that we should be seeing the Diez back in the market before years' (2020) end. Needless to say I was very excited to hear the news that LFD intended to re-introduce the LG Diez blend.
Last March, 2020, LFD reduced their sales rep staff by 50%, and I am unsure of the direction of LFD as a company that produces excellent cigars.
The last I spoke with Mr. Carney was August, 2020, when Jon stated to me the, "standard LG line is delayed, for now."
Jon did suggest the LG Small Batch line, which I have several of those in storage but I really prefer the LG Diez puro, over any Small Batch I have tried, and I have tried most.
I haven't smoked a magnificent LG Diez blend in several years, and I am really 'jonesing' for one.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I can honestly say that the LG Diez blend has been one of my all time favorites, and I will sure be gald if I can ever get my grubby mitts on a few of them in the future.
I really miss the LFD LG Diez.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
