Well, as you can imagine, 99% of my smoking consists of either test blends, or cigars off the rolling table or cheroots of tobacco from our fermentation room, so I don't get the opportunity to smoke all that much from outside of our factory. I have always enjoyed Padron, Fuente, and Ernie Carillo's cigars, I think those are 3 excellent factories.

welcome from Southern NJ. I like your stuff but it's definitely a challenge in terms of strength! I have a nice Double Ligero I am sitting on right now.

Thanks! We certainly do have a reputation for making ass kickers haha, but we also offer a wide variety of things. If you'd like something more in them medium range I'd recommend our 1994, Air Bender, or Ligero natural lines.

Definitely can't go wrong with an LG! I know it's not what you want to hear, but I like them all in their own way. Can't say there is really one that I smoke more than the others. Though I never start my day without a Cameroon #3 and an espresso, that is obligatory. I picked up the habit from my dad.

Thanks for joining us here, Tony, good to have you aboard.
I am mainly a Habanos smoker, but LFD is one of the brands I look for first when switching things up. Definitely always on the look out for new lines from youse guys.

Welcome to the brotherhood! The L400 Ligero was the first LFD I had and got me to appreciate the whole brand. Looking forward to your participation.

That reminds me - I have an Air Bender Lancero in the humi I've been meaning to light up....

Welcome to the board Tony! I am an avid home roller (I have a bunch of practice before I can consider calling myself a torcedor) and I love having the industry people on the board. I envy your job! Haven't smoked any of your sticks just yet, but I have a couple box pressed Premium Lines from 2005 waiting for a special day in my humi thanks to a generous brother here that goes through quite a bit of your product.

Very cool, you should share a picture of your set up! I am indeed a lucky man to have the opportunity to do what I do. Those sound like a treasure brother, enjoy them!

My set up is as basic as it gets. I started out using strips of paper to wrap my sticks to work as a mold until someone sent me a small perfecto mold to use. They are ugly suckers and make me appreciate the premiums that much more but at least I can roll something smoke able and they don't taste half bad either! Here are a few pics:

Wrapped in paper to mold

A few of my most recent batches

Very cool! I like the old school newspaper molds. But once you get your hands on some real wood/plastic molds you'll see a drastic change in the evenness of the cigars. Are you rolling entubado or more accordion style?
