Ok, you probably haven't noticed, but I haven't included many pictures with reviews lately. That is about to change. I have an Iphone and I know how to use it. Most of the sticks I review will be ones that I smoke on my 1 hour lunch break at work, and this one is no exception. Lets get to work!
I've had the pleasure of smoking a few of these, thanks to the owner of my local shop, The Humidor in Redlands, Ca. He gave us a couple of these at a cigar dinner we attended a few weeks ago, and after the first one, I was hooked! I decided the second one I smoked, I just had to share with my readers (if there are any out there)... So here we go!
1/3: As is my usual nowadays, I lit up in the parking lot at work, and took a few short drags. The first few puffs were heavy with cocoa and spice, with a ton of billowing smoke, and a very smooth draw. So far things are progressing nicely, but the nicotine kick I've come to expect with LFD's hasn't hit yet.
2/3: I took a few swallows of my Monster Java before continuing on this cigar (yes, thats another quirk about me, I drink weird stuff with my cigars, and I like it!) As I continued, the pepper and spice kicked up full force, and just about knocked me in the teeth. About that time, the nicotine kick that I have come to expect from LFD has also shown up. Now, it may be the fact that I had abotu a gallon of coffee and 2 energy drinks by 12:00pm that day, but at this point I was starting to get a little jittery. I am going to attribute that to the caffeine, and not the cigar, as I'd like to think I am stronger than that. As I finished up this portion of the smoke, I got a nice hint of cocoa and wood, along with the spice, that I was enjoying very much.
3/3: As I got into the last third of this cigar, the peppery, knock you in the teeth spice came down a little bit, and the cocoa and woody flavors started to come to the forefront. At this point, I am really digging this cigar. Its got a nice oily sheen, and as you can see in the crappy Iphone photos, its holding an ash really well. I am not wanting my lunch break to be over at this point, as I am really enjoying this smoke.
And this last picture, is the last one I took, simply because I was enjoying the cigar too much to whip out the Iphone and take another picture. The ash fell off shortly after this picture... Well, I actually knocked it off, because I didn't need ash all over my shirt and tie! All in all, this was an excellent smoke, and I am now on the hunt for AT LEAST a box of these. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nice nicotine kick, with some great flavor!
Smoke em if you got em, buy em if you don't!-
I am urging all my bro's to check out my blog that I just got off the ground:

If you have a cigar/man related blog, let me know, and I will be more than happy to put a link to it on my site!
