LFD Double Ligero comes to mind.

I agree. The one time I had an LFD Double Ligero I found it packed a potent kick...and that was about it. It was like smoking paper.

It is for these reasons that there are thousands of blends on the market. I thought the JdN Fuerte was a very pleasant smoke for a fresh cigar. Not nearly as strong as the Antano. I smoke a Dark Corojo Antano this past weekend and also thought it pleasant and flavorful. Both of these new JdN's will benefit from some down time but neither was offensively strong.

I also like the LFD DL line, depending on the vitola these can have some nice flavors.

For my taste some of the Pepin stuff out there is nothing but strength for strength's sake. But I know many of you love the Pepin stuff.

I have to disagree with the LFD sentiments in this thread. There are a lot of cigars that I believe sacrifice flavor for strength, but the LFDs aren't one of them. I've only smoked a few but none were short on flavor, and I was actually surprised at how smooth they were despite their reputation.

When reading this thread, the first cigar that came to mind for me was the DPG blue label lancero. I love the look of these but after smoking several now, it just seems like they have no taste at all. still burned the sh*t out of my nose though. total waste of time if you ask me.

As a LFD HO I may be biased but, I agree with the above two posts. I think the DL line has plenty of flavor and are far from being one dimensional. The Chisel may fall into this a little bit but all the other vitolas are fantastic IMHO. I love the Pepin Blues too but agree that these tend to be more of a powerhouse smoke and can be a bit one dimensional but every now and than they are what I crave. Taste is subjective and I guess that is what's so great about smoking cigars. There is a smoke out there for everyone and part of the fun is trying to find that one smoke that is your end all be all.
