Picked one of these up today on a whim - I have smoked them before but it has been a while. Unfortunately, I had to smoke it outside, but at least I had the opportunity to enjoy a cigar!
Anyhoo, just as before, these cigars are cannons. They may look small, but they pack a spicy, charcoal "vitamin N" punch that reverberates through the mouth cavity into the throat. I think these are even stronger now than in the past - perhaps this is because the one I enjoyed today was new. Usually I let my cigars rest for 6 months or so.
Burn was iffy, probably due to the weather. I had to relight about 1/3 through. At that point, my tongue was numb to the nicotine and I could start picking out more spice flavors - cinnamon and red pepper made appearances complimented by some charcoal and cedar overtones. Not bad.
Overall, a classic LFD revisited. I dont know if I could smoke the most massive of these, but they are always worth a try (and worth revisiting)!
Now, if someone could explain why I keep buying cigars when I have a ton already, that would solve one of the mysteries of life!

I would recommend the premium line, Litto Gomez Diez. Dont let the light colored wrapper fool you, they are by far the strongest coming out of his factory.

And that ain't a joke.
The worst thing about the Chiselito is that it's so short... I always want to light up another once I'm done.

I love this LFD Chisel* line. The Chiselito and Chisel Gordo are tasty full body smokes and short smokes...30-60minutes...now it's big brother the Chisel is a monster....don't smoke that on an empty stomach!

The Chisels are awesome. Just make sure you're prepped for them.

One of my go to igars when I'm at the B&M. I'm sitting here wondering why I have never purchased a box. After the man cave's done I might pull that trigger.
BTW, if you didn't know, the Air Bender is a little easier on the dizzyness, but just as perfectly blended.

I had one today and had to pitch it. The flavor was WAY off. I've had several of these before and have enjoyed them so I know this one was just a dud.

Thank you for the review. Will look into some of these once I finish smoking the Air Benders I came across.
