LFD Airbender

ApexAZ · 03-05-2012, 12:05 PM

I really like these. They are a nice medium bodied smoke that go great with coffee. They don't seem to be overly complex, but they are smooth and consistent with good flavor.

srduggins · 03-05-2012, 03:04 PM

I agree, I just smoked my last OR corona for lunch. It had that nice, ripe raisin aroma I associate with LGD and Opus, something I hadn't noticed in them before. A little burn in the retrohale makes me think these may still improve with even more down time.

So these are like the Double Ligero "The Digger" I had one and it about killed me an hour after I got home lol

I don't think these are any where near that strong.

I've only had one double ligero chisel and didn't care for it really. It was too strong and the flavor just wasn't very good. The airbender on the other hand is quite good and not what I would classify as being strong, or even full bodied. Were you referring to the double ligero or the airbender?

I would also agree they have a similar taste to fuente.

TJtorpedo · 03-05-2012, 06:25 PM

Only had one Airbender a while back and I wasn't impressed, but they are on my "revisit" list. I hate to disregard a cigar after only smoking one.

Theo Cincy · 03-05-2012, 08:11 PM

I love these sticks and they are well priced.

REV · 03-05-2012, 10:03 PM

just got them in (today) at my shop, and 1/3 of the box was gone when we opened it from employees and regulars.

cant say i was overly impressed, since i went in burning an undercrown.

QiCultivator · 03-05-2012, 10:44 PM

These, to me, are stronger than the DLs. I have smoked a box of each and the Air Benders make me almost sick every time while the DLs never have. Love the taste of the AB though.

Volusianator · 03-05-2012, 11:29 PM

IMHO, since the first they came out, I've said and still believe, they are an Opus lite.

Whew, glad to hear, I wasn't disappointed with the dl, I just wasn't expecting such a punch afterwards.

No, I was referring to the DL, thanks.....gonna seek these out now.

Silound · 03-06-2012, 09:24 AM

I don't find LFD sticks to be that overwhelming if I take my time and smoke slowly. They're definitely strong, but they won't make me whirl.

The Digger is not high on my list, but I find all LFD sticks get better with a little time on them. I've got a few LGSB #1/#2 I'm still sitting on. Hoping they'll be great when I get around to them.

kuzi16 · 03-06-2012, 03:07 PM

the air bender in the chisel vitola is one of my favorite non-LE cigar. i actually DO find it to be complex. its is round and the flavor coats the mouth. i may actually have to have one tonight.

SteelCityBoy · 03-06-2012, 08:14 PM

A local B&M near me has these....I may need to try a few. Never had them and they sound pretty good.

Tredegar · 03-07-2012, 04:09 AM

The few that I have had I liked. I would definitely revisit them.

jluck · 03-07-2012, 09:44 AM

I just picked up a couple yesterday and one might have to die today.

Ervsuperb · 03-07-2012, 01:53 PM

The maduro is a really nice medium smoke

Theo Cincy · 03-12-2012, 07:43 PM

Yes the airbender maduro is a lim rd. Stick but if you find some grab the up if you enjoy the airbender b/c they are a step above.

Crownedone · 03-12-2012, 08:30 PM

Still one of my best!

theonlybear4CORT · 03-12-2012, 08:44 PM
