Hi again everyone, as most of you know I have been smoking Cuban Cigars for over 20 years now, and have the acquired taste for them.

My problem has been with most non Cuban cigars is that they are too mild for my taste, so I have not been keeping up with the brands.

I most recently purchased the subject matter while visiting Old Town, and found that I forgot to take a cigar with me.

I was pleasently (sp) surprised with this cigar, it was a powerhouse, not really complex in taste, however it had the strength that I crave.

Does anyone have any experience with this line?, and any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I would smoke these as a filler as to I am going broke buying the Cubans, and going through them so fast.

These are good cigars indeed; however, I always felt cuban cigars had substantially less power than their non-cuban alternatives.

If you're liking Litto, try to get a hold of a Lusitano and a Small Batch #2. Both excellent cigars.

Also try a Coronado by La Flor double corona. Same guy.

Lastly, a Tatuaje Unico. Very smoothe flavor. Awesome draw. Tons of smoke and good power as well.

The Coronado, Unico and Chisel have been the only 3 cigars I've smoked to give me a buzz. The Chizel was the strongest buzz followed by the Coronado.

I agree with the LFD Maduro Chisel it is a real powerhouse.

Litto Gomez at LFD does a great job! For full flavor try these lines:
LG Diez
Small Batch
Double Ligero
Coranado
Limitada III (LE)
Factory Press Limitado (LE)
Ligero Cab (rich, but more sub-duded power)
Enjoy the proccess!

Even though everyone always says the Coronado is a power house, I've always found it to be very smooth and smokable (so-to-speak), not over-the-top strong at all.

I agree Steve. Its not "in your face power", its "holy sh!t I have a buzz" power. I didn't expect that.

The Coronado gave me an ever so slight buzz. The Unico slighty more. The Chisel, well once it made me sick. The second time, I gave it the respect it deserved and was fine.

Chiselito > Partages Series P #2

The 2 strongest cigars i have ever smoked. Chiselito, IMHO, is the strongest hands down. y'all must have some high tolerances for nicotine, because the chiselito had me dry heeving for a couple of hours. needless to say, It was arividetchi Chiselito from my Humi.

Good bold flavor, but too much BADA BING power for me.

I just ordered some more boxes from "bonita smoke shop" in florida, has anyone ever done business with them?, they have really good prices.

I love the Chiselito in the maduro wrap. For me, it doesn't matter what time of day it is or what I just ate. If I want a little powerhouse, I smoke one out of the box.

The first time I smoked the Chisel maduro however is a different story. Had to hang out in the shop for like an hour before I got behind the wheel. The second time, I'm not sure if it as the vodka or the cigar, but I had to lay down for a good hour. I ended up just going to sleep. I bought a box of those as well....

If you liked the Chiselito, then I recommend that you also try the largest size (DL-700). It's 6 1/2" x 60, the same powerhouse of a cigar, but even more of it. But this is for when you have plenty of time to really enjoy it.

And, as with all of the LFD double ligeros, never to be smoked on an empty stomach.

I would recommend Camacho cigars as well. They are very powerful as well. I got sick off of one so I should know.

I like the Chisel maduro as well. The first time I had one was on an empty stomach and it gave me the sweats! Lesson learned.
