I'll go with smokin5 on this. To my taste I agree with everything he said except for the "woody overtones" and substitute "cedar/floral undertones".

I tend to the medium to fuller Nicaraguans (ie AJ Fernandez - the best blender in the business right now, IMO), but LFD is what I smoke the most of. 1495's are a nice change of pace from the fuller stuff.

Very well made and elegant cigar. I, as smokin5, prefer the corona. At $49.99 shipped I would say that is a steal.

$.02
