Default La Flor Dominicana 4.5" X 60

This thing is a monster with a draw like a straw. Im 10 mins in and only killed 1/4". I will update as the smoke continues but here is a picture (via Blackberry) to show its size next to my custom Ronson.



So far the flavors have been pretty earthy, and strong. But still tasty.

Default Re: La Flor Dominicana 4.5" X 60

Looking back at my notes, Halfway through it got spicier and stronger to the point I wasnt sure I could finish it. But i smoked on and im glad I did.



The last 1/2" Was a lot like the first 1/2" only better. This monster died a slow and painful death taking me 1 hour 30 mins to slay.



And my final verdict is

Construction: 7 Had burn issues due to a banged up foot
Taste: 8 Something I enjoyed and would definitely smoke again
Overall: 8ish Had I not damaged the foot before smoking this im sure it would have been more enjoyable. I will have to revisit this stick.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. Mine had a SUPER loose draw. Like smoking a garden hose.

I have a pile of LFD's and I just never get to smoking them.
I had a few that weren't ready and I've never revisited the stick.
Litto's LGD's are a whole nother story. They're like heaven.
