The chisel is the trademark shape of La Flor Dominicana apparently and this is one very good looking cigar in a gorgeous tubo, they have really made an effort with this one. The wrapper is perfect and looks like smooth brown leather. Next to the first photo is a close up of the chisel cap. Just cut it straight and it feels very conformable in the mouth.

This cigar comes in at 6" x54, the wrapper is Nicaraguan Habano and smells faintly of hay. The filler is Dominican but with extra ligero for more potency and that I can verify because I have a nicotine buzz going on as I type this.
Straight cut as I said there is a little resistance in the draw but not much flavour, some coffee hints with a little pepper.
I had no problem getting this one lit but the burn was slightly off from the start which i left uncorrected till the ash dropped at about an inch.

Later on in the smoke the burn went even more awry and a few more relights were required.
Initially I got a mild creamy smoke from this stick which developed a slight salted caramel flavour and a faint pepper finish at about half an inch in. At the inch mark the smoke became a little more tannic with a mild woody flavour with a hint of spice that I couldn't put my finger on.
After I corrected it I purged it and got a distinct almond flavour which lasted till about half way when the caramel tones returned. A second correction and relight was required and into the second third the pepper began to come to the fore but never intrusively so. In the final third the pepper all but disappeared and we were back to a creamy nuttiness and a nicotine buzz developing in my forehead. Time to break out the chocolate buttons. That flavour remained constant until I put it down for good.
I probably wouldn't buy this again but it didn't really excite me which is more than I say for the appearance of the box of five!
