Paired with a medium-bodied Merlot, this cigar became something to talk about. It was strong and aromatic. The flavors I got from it changed and developed as I enjoyed bites of Lebanese mezze and occasional sips of arak. (It’s funny how I wanted to have wine, but I also had to have arak simply because there was Lebanese mezze on the table. I need to take it easy on the booze this year. But that’s another story.) Overall, to keep our long story short, the LFD Oro Tubo No. 6 Maduro is a smoke made for people who like strong, aromatic cigars. It’s good stuff, and I wouldn’t mind lighting one up again.
