LFD’s Andalusian Bull is a limited edition cigar featuring bold hickory leather flavor with subtle spice accents. This unique smoke earned 2016’s Cigar of the Year award and received a 96 rating from Cigar Aficionado.
Litto Gomez and his team employed an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper of dark natural shade to cover top-of-the-line Dominican filler and binder tobaccos, creating an impressive and exaggerated figurado shape that requires immense skill to craft.
Breed Characteristics
The Fighting Lidia cattle breed is an exceptional and invaluable genetic and morphological resource in its species, explicitly selected to exhibit courage and strength when facing threats. Unfortunately, these desired behaviors it make handling these animals challenging, thus prohibiting manual morphological studies.
Photogrammetry allowed for preliminary morphometric characterization of 264 adult males and females from 21 different herds using photogrammetry, yielding significant internal variability that demonstrated sexual dimorphism as well as genetic line differences within the breed. Overall, fighting Lidia bulls displayed great harmony, with male proportionality being more balanced compared to body and muscle development than in females, likely as a result of selective breeding for performance during taurine events.
This was evident in their index of proportionality (Table 1), which was closer to 50 than other breeds bred solely for beef production yet still higher than Uruguayan breeds and the pirenaica breed. Furthermore, their average height at withers was significantly lower than other Spanish autochthonous breeds due to selective breeding for athletic appearance and charging behavior during taurine events.
Additionally, researchers found that external horn length was at an average height, consistent with an overall trend for increased horn size in fighting bulls. This increase could be attributed to the selection of more complex and well-shaped horns – something essential for taurine performances.
