Can you see the resemblance to the L40? They may be a bit stronger and sweeter, but aside from that, I'd think JDrew tried to copy that cigar with this effort.
Another almost identical is the 5 Vegas A maduro and the Esteban Carrera maduro (discontinued). The Carrera had a hint of raisins that's missing in this stick, and was actually more complex at around 2 bucks a stick.
There are a ton of Rocky maduros that are very close to this profile, the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte and Indian Tabac maduro come to mind immediately. Both $2-$3 sticks, or less. I've bought many at less than 2 bucks.

Here's the thing, it's one of my absolute favorite flavor profiles, and I've chased this profile to the ends of the earth. At a time, it's all I'd smoke to the tune of 5 sticks a day. That's why I liked it.
But it's a "beginner stick" in the profile, albeit well done. This profile should lead a guy to Padron Anni's and Anejo and LGDiez Vintage maduros and oscuros at the same (or similar) price-point. Those sticks do much, much more for the coin.

Scott, if you enjoy that flavor profile I would honestly try all the DE LP stuff if I were you. Many have them have the same profile IMO. The LP9 may have a bit less chocolate and some more spice and the T52 ramps up the chocolate flavor without the spice. The FFP is just on another playing field in strength but again has similar flavor profiles as the others. That is why I love the DE LP stuff so much. It hits my flavor spot perfectly! I know it's been a long time coming that you finally tried this L40 but heck, give em all a shot! I would love to hear what you think!
