La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel Maduro
Dominican Republic
Size: 6 1/4 x 54
Smoke Time: 60 minutes, however my advice is to take it slow!
It's been a little while since this has been reviewed so I decided to go for it. Bear with me as this is my first review.
I walking into my favorite B&M and asked for the strongest smoke that they had. I needed a strong one to depict a Hamlet speech for my British Lit class. The owner pointed me to the La Flor DL Chisel which came with a well earned warning.
It was constructed very well with a 1 large vein and a nice spring. I clipped it with a Xikar and sat down in my favorite chair. Pre-light draw was a little tight so I clipped it again which gave it the perfect draw and a nice sweet flavor. I toasted and lit it with a table top lighter which produced one of the best smelling smokes I have ever had.
The first third was a HUGE spice bomb. From the very beginning I knew that this was going to be a duzzie. Behind all the spice I thought caught a little hint of chocolate. The smoke started to settle down after 10 or so puffs which let me taste the range of flavors behind the spice.
The second third was really nice. I started to feel the nicotine buzz come in after 20 minutes and I immediately got up and raid the candy bowl at the front of the store. There was definitely some leather and wood flavor and maybe chocolate but that might have been the candy. The burn wasn't great, I had to touch it up twice in the first 30 minutes. The ash on the other had was great. I was a nice beige and I only had to ash twice.
The last third continues with a little spice and wood. Again the burn was not good at all, but I was feeling the buzz so much that I didn't care at that point. It finished with a ton of leather.
I drove home and felt like taking a really long nap. I'm lucky I didn't blow chunks, but that was by far the fullest cigar I have ever smoked. I took a couple pictures with my phone but non of them turned out well. Here's a after picture.
