Freud AlterEgo Lonsdale Cigar – Box of 10

Crafted at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera in the Dominican Republic under the oversight of Eladio Díaz, the Freud AlterEgo Lonsdale Cigar features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, an Indonesian Sumatra binder, and a filler blend exclusively composed of Dominican tobaccos. The factory’s specialized focus on small-batch production ensures meticulous attention to material selection and aging processes.

Format and Combustion Properties

The Lonsdale format (6.5" x 44) prioritizes a slower combustion rate due to its elongated shape and moderate ring gauge. This design promotes consistent heat distribution, allowing the Dominican filler’s earthy core and the Sumatra binder’s spice nuances to emerge gradually without overpowering the palate.

Flavor Progression

Initial draws emphasize cedar and roasted nut flavors, supported by the San Andrés wrapper’s inherent sweetness. Mid-section transitions reveal espresso and dark chocolate tones from the aged Dominican filler. The final third introduces leather and dried fruit accents, with the Sumatra binder contributing a subtle peppercorn undertone.

Construction Specifications

Triple-seam cap construction facilitates an unobstructed draw, while the 18-month-aged filler tobaccos maintain burn consistency. The cigar’s medium strength profile (nicotine content: 28-32 mg/g) and 75-minute average burn time cater to extended smoking sessions requiring controlled intensity.
