With its black, wedge-shaped head, nothing in the cigar world looks quite like a Chisel Maduro. Its creation goes back to one day when La Flor’s Litto Gomez was driving from Santiago to La Canela in the Dominican Republic, chewing on a torpedo as he was deep in thought. By the time he reached his destination, the torpedo head had been flattened.
Taken with the new shape, Gomez came up with the Chisel, a figurado with a head that looks like a hand tool or a woodwind instrument. The natural version is powerful, but this 6-inch x 54-ring leathery Maduro is sneaky strong—you don’t feel the power until it’s upon you. It’s a difficult shape to roll, this brainchild of Gomez, who is clearly one of the cigar world’s most innovative minds.
The La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel is a must-have for any seasoned cigar enthusiast. It was ranked #14 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 annual best cigars of the year for 2007 with a score of 92 points. The LFD Double Ligero Chisel is a great, wedge-head shaped cigar that’s well constructed with a dark and streaky wrapper. One would think that the chiseled crown would hinder the draw, but it does the opposite. It smokes well and burns evenly. This is a very strong, full bodied cigar with spice and wood flavors, plus a hint of orange peel. MADE BY: Tabacalera La Flor S.A. |
