Growing too fast.
I looked to see if I had a Limitado II before smoking the III, but alas couldn’t find one. There may still be one in there somewhere, but I just don’t feel like pulling everything out. I did find a Factory Press I, II, and III. 
This is a somewhat menacing looking cigar; maybe just the thought of it being an LFD makes it so. The wrapper is a very dark Ecuadorian Sumatra and is coarse with a couple of prominent veins running the length. There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of oiliness to it. It has a very solid weight in the hand and firm when squeezed, I can hear a slight crunchiness as I press it between my fingers. Looking at the foot, the Nicaraguan binder and Dominican filler seem to be bunched very well and giving it a quick sniff, I get a really sweet chocolate aroma.
Using the largest ring on my punch knife, I take out a perfect circle of tobacco off the well-constructed cap and find the draw very close to be right at perfect, maybe a little on the loose side. I can barely detect a sort of raisin in the cold draw, very faint. Using my Zippo torch, I slowly bring the cigar to life, blowing on the embers to ensure an even burn. After a few good puffs and a couple of initial draws, I take a good mouthful of the smoke and slowly let it escape through both mouth and nose. I first notice a very rich nuttiness with sweet, dark cocoa and vanilla bean. There’s a perfect spiciness as well, not too strong and not too mild, just right.
The smoke is medium in body and leaves the tongue feeling almost oily, which I really like. There’s an incredible smoothness to it, creamy, with a delicious finish after exhaling. The ash forming is a mixture of dark and light gray and is holding strong so far, with the draw working perfectly allowing the rich smoke to flow freely and in great abundance. I can’t seem to stop smacking my lips.
Heading into the halfway mark, this cigar is performing perfectly. The medium-bodied smoke is smooth and creamy on the palate with a perfect spice still coming through. Flavors continue to be that of toasted nut, sweet dark cocoa, and vanilla with a delicious twang to it. There’s an excellent finish left on the palate, long and lasting. Thoroughly enjoying this cigar.
The last third did lose only a slight bit of the richness in flavor revealing a more straightforward tobacco that was still incredibly good. This was an excellent smoke with sharp burn, strong ash, perfect draw, deliciously rich flavors, and lasting finish that kept me smacking my lips. Unfortunately the wife was yelling that dinner was ready, so I didn’t get to take the cigar to the nub as I wanted. An excellent smoke for a warm, Summer’s evening!
