La Flor Dominicana Chapter 1
Stock photo, but I do actually have that ashtray.

Great stick, the patented (no shit, they actually have a patent) chisel tip intensifies things a bit but keeps it consistent and doesn't require a cutter. A quick squeeze to the tip of any of their chisel tip offerings should produce a distinct pop as the cap shears longitudinally, providing a perfect opening.

Very interesting....I've never heard of that

They offer the chisel tip on the Chapter Series cigars, the Oro Tubo, their signature Double Ligero and the Air bender.
The last one is the lightest of the bunch and on the heavier side of medium body.

I'll pick one up and give it a shot....this is exactly why I started this thread

If you're a fan of heavier smokes, I'd go for the Double Ligero. It's a great intro to what La Flor is about. Should be ~$9.50

If you normally smoke lighter, go for the Air bender. It should be ~$10

Art, I'll bring you a couple tomorrow...or Sunday.

Enjoyed a nice martini and macanudo knock-off churchill on the deck tonight.

The cigar is Punch Signature, new in at one of my local shops.
Not bad for the price ($7.25 for 6x60)
But minor burn issues, I'll have to try another once they've had a chance to rest.

The beer is the real star though.
Stone Brewing Stochasticity Project Elderberry Ale.
Bold, a little sour, very light hop for a Stone brew and a nice underlying light sweetness to cut the sour

Hopefully tomorrow I will have some time to try one of the sticks @Hayata was gracious enough to give me today

Can't wait to hear what you think. La Flor Dominicana is one of my favorite brands.

I think I came out ahead on that swap!

Yeah, I may give 'er a go today.

Smoke was good and surprisingly mild for something across the gulf. Maybe I had too much lime in my G&T?

Thanks again ART!

Nah man mild is about right for that one...and any time! I might be splitting a box of some VERY nice ones soon. If so I'll let ya have one.

Playaa....

Taste is friggin beautiful, but I've yet to smoke one that didn't burn as crooked as Michael J Fox trying to draw a straight line.

Ashton VSG and Cabinet tonight.
I don't normally smoke Ashton. They're definitely good, they just don't tick all the boxes for me and the price is to steep to not check all the boxes.
BUT, it was a charity event and the sticks were included in the ticket price so I suffered through it!

 

[Hayata]

Hey Art, have you had a chance to try either stick yet?

I'm working an LFD 1994 and Service Brewing Compass Rose IPA

I've yet to smoke one....but tomorrow night I will be relaxing at Zelda Cigar in this cesspool known as Montgomery AL. Hopefully they will have a selection of LFD to try....
