The earth and pepper alternated in terms of one or both being a primary flavor. At the same time, an earth flavor emerged and joined the pepper. The citrus, espresso, and cream notes dissipated. Later in the second third, the flavor changed significantly. Early in the second half, the pepper became the lone primary note, and citrus diminished into the background. The espresso notes became the secondary flavors, and the cream played more of tertiary role. The citrus and pepper notes joined the cream in the background.Īs the Meaner Digger moved into the second third, the citrus and pepper notes then emerged as the primary flavors. It took a little while to see what note emerged as a primary one, but it was the espresso/coffee notes that became primary early on. The start to the Meaner Digger provided a mix of espresso/coffee, citrus, and pepper with some background cream notes. This was reflected in both the flavor nuances and flavor transitions. The Meaner Digger did provide a little more in the way of complexity than I was expecting from such a large smoke. At this point, it was time to light my Meaner Digger and begin what would be a four hour smoking odyssey. Overall I considered this a satisfactory pre-light draw. The dry draw notes provided me a mix of pepper, molasses, and leather. Once the cap was removed, I proceeded to start the pre-light draw. Given the cigar’s size there was no doubt, I was going to use a straight cut to remove the cap of the LFD Meaner Digger. Toward the lower part of the band it says “La Flor Dominicana” in white cursive font font, and below that it says” DOUBLE LIGERO” (all in capital letters). The rest of the band is adorned by gold designs on a black background. It is highlighted by “LFD” in gold-colored cursive font on a red background. The band is the classic red, black, gold, and white LFD band to it. The cap to the cigar is from maduro wrapper. The surface of the cigar does have a slightly bumpy feel to it. There is a slight oily complexion to both of the wrappers. The barber pole is arranged with the Ecuadorian Sun Grown natural wrapper wrapped around the Ecuadorian Sun Grown maduro wrapper. The LFD Meaner Digger has only been released in a single size – a 10 x 60. Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown (Dual Wrapper – Natual and Maduro) One is a natural wrapper and the other is a maduro. As a disclaimer, this cigar experience was based on a single smoke of the Meaner Digger.Įcuadorian Sun-grown wrapper is used for the two wrappers of this barber-pole. Without further adieu, let’s look at the Meaner Digger and see what this cigar brings to the table. Plans are for Asylum Cigars to release a 7 x 70 cigar called the Ogre which is also a barber pole. It joins the Viaje Holiday Blend 2012 Candy Cane and the 7-20-4 Hustler. The Meaner Digger is one of several barber pole releases seen over the past two months. Massive box of 20 of the LFD Meaner Digger The word is that this is only a one time release. There were 2012 boxes produced: 100 boxes of 20, and one box of 12. Like the Tatuaje Apocalypse for Smoke Inn, this cigar ties in with the “end of the world” theme by the Mayans, thus the “Doomsday 2012” theme for the Meaner Digger. The Meaner Digger gets its name because it is even longer than the original Digger. Word is he wanted an even longer smoke, so LFD owner Litto Gomez made him a larger cigar (the 8 1/2 inch size), and eventually launched a line around this size. The story behind the name is that there was a La Flor Dominicana fan that enjoyed the 6 1/2 x 60 Double Ligero DL700. The Digger line consists of a natural and maduro blend that comes in a 8 1/2 x 60 vitola. The Meaner Digger gets its name from La Flor Dominicana’s Digger line. I found it to be a worthwhile smoking experience that delivered good flavor and more complexity than one might expect. I recently had an opportunity to partake in a four hour smoke of the La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Meaner Digger. Secondly, it is a barber pole wrapped cigar. First, it is a massive cigar – measuring 10 inches with a 60 ring gauge. There are two distinguishing characteristics that have made this a cigar of interest to many. The La Flor Dominicana Meaner Digger is a limited edition, retail-exclusive cigar for Tobacco Haven in Brookline, New Hampshire. La Flor Dominicana Doomsday 2012 Meaner Digger
