La Flor Dominicana Air Bender! Woot!

[Zen Cigar Man]

I'd be curious to hear some thoughts from people as to the preferred Vitola in this line??

Considering picking up a few of the Maestro, but thought why not ask first. If anything it'll give me a reason to hold off on buying something else for another day or two....LOL!

Matatan

I've had two, a Matatan and a Maestro. The Matatan was better, but it sat for 3 weeks, whereas I smoked the Maestro OTT. Grain o' salt and all that.

The Robusto/Matatan is the only one I have had and its a great smoke.

Thanks for the input I will have to pick up the Matatan at my B&M.

I really want to try another Maestro tonight, but I feel like I should let them sit longer ... but I'll have 5 left even if I smoke it (different vitolas, thanks to xddco!), so I might just go for it.

On the last (2nd) Air Bender I had, the cold-draw was so fantastic that I literally cold-smoked that cigar for like 20 minutes while I walked around my house before getting out to smoke it, lol! Sadly, the cigar itself didn't live up to the cold-draw in terms of flavor.

You sucked all the flavor out before you lit it!

Box of Maestro's on the way.

So much for waiting a couple days to buy anything........woopsie!!

:tiphat:

lol, that must have been it!

I finally got around to trying one of these last night (after buying a 5er on the 1st week of their release). All I can say is WOW! And thanks for the heads up on these. I really need to get a few more.

I am going to have to torch one of these. Got a box sitting but haven't smoked any from it yet.


Kyle, did you see my post on the PLPC's? Killer price. EM or PM me if interested.

I have to say that these are better then the boris and the drac hands down.

Better then the (production) Drac? Perhaps...

Better the the Boris? Not even close...

We finally got our Air Benders where I work along with the new JDN Antanos. What to smoke tonight?!

 

[srduggins]

Both! (But smoke the Air Bender first)

I must have gotten a hold of a bad one. I picked three (3) of these up from a B&M based on the shop keep telling me how he "burned his fingers" nubbing this thing. So, I get it home, put it down for a couple of weeks and one Saturday after some yard work I pour myself a beer and put fire to it.

I gave it the first inch or so thinking OK, it;s gonna get better. Two inches later I am like what in the heck. This tastes like a butt sandwich. I purge it and give it one more try to no avail. By far this was my worst experience with anything from Lito.

The other two...well I might try one. Chances are I will pawn this off on some unsuspecting dupe... Seriously, I will just let it age, who knows.

Here's to hoping it was a fluke.

It's definitly not what your used to in LFD. This is one of litto's cracks at flavor over strength. You really can't try this cigar and expect it to taste like his legero line. It wasn't ment too! It has it's own flavor profile for sure and although it's not one of my favorites from Litto...Well it's not bad either!!

Having never eaten one of those I was wondering if you would care to elaborate? :dunno:

LOL.

All joking aside, I found the Air Bender to be quite delicious. I didn't think it was the powerhouse I had heard it was, but the flavor was still there.
