Description
The La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet Chisel is a 6 x 54 figurado with a flat, wedge-shaped head, putting a Cameroon ligero wrapper over a Dominican binder plus Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. Cigar Aficionado names Tabacalera La Flor S.A., Litto Gomez’s Dominican factory, as the maker.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado scored it 93 in its January 1, 2013 issue and ranked it No. 12 among its Top 25 cigars of 2012, noting spice and nuts, some leather and a sweet, nougat-like close at medium-full strength. Its December 1, 2014 issue gave it 90, finding wood and nuts with hints of cherry and leather around an earthy center. The maker describes the line as full in body yet smooth.

About the Cameroon Cabinet Line
Cigar Aficionado traces the chisel head to Gomez himself, who had a skilled roller copy the flattened tip his jaw once pressed into a torpedo while driving. Per halfwheel’s December 2011 post, this Cameroon version first came in a Chisel sampler before getting its own 20-count boxes.
