Cheap Lonsdale Thrills... La Floridita

PREFACE:

I am not known in our community for lavishing great sums for the smokes... I make no apology for that, just as I make no apology for my affliction for the maduros.

I WILL (in advance) apologize for my affection for the Lonsdale style... And offer any who are interested in the impressions of what I consider to be one of the cheapest, best, lonsdale maduros out there.

CIGAR:
La FLoridita Maduro Lonsdale

PRE-LIGHT IMPRESSIONS:
Hell! It just smelled good! She's green, but she'll be brown by the time I'm over with her!

BURN & DRAW:
She's medium on the burn and medium on the draw... Not too hot, and not too cold. She'll sit in the tray for 5 minutes, then greet you with a smile and a mouthfull of thick and tasty smoke.

BODY & FLAVOR
It's a Lonsdale, right!?
You've got 7 inches of stogie packed into a 43 RG, right?
It's going to burn your tongue, and send you for a Coke, right?

Wrong... This is a premium cigar that will deliver.

OVERALL:
If you're on a budget... If you enjoy the maduros... If you're hankering for a Lonsdale that can make your Spring evening complete, I'd like to recommend this one!

(As usual, my opinions and impressions are purely subjective)

Palm: I have some of the LF Maduros in the robusto size, and I like em a lot.
If I let em rest a while longer I expect they'll be even better. I can't imagine the Lonsdale size will differ that much from the robusto. Enjoy yourself with them.

Re: Cheap Lonsdale Thrills... La Floridita

Thank you, gentlemen, for your impressions...

She's down to about 2 inches at this point, resembling a cross between a wet-morning-after and a poodle turd... But the ash is great!

Honestly... For the guys who are looking for a good maduro at a great price, I'll put my reputation (what the hell's that!?) on the line and recommend a bundle!

I smoked one of those today and really enjoyed it.. I was gifted the cigar. I need to get some more.. mine too was a robusto, however.. Great smoke for a good price.
