Double Ligero Oscuro Especiales 6 7/8” x 49
By La Flor Dominicana
(This review was actually done a few weeks ago-got behind and forgot to post!)
I bought a box of these while in KC at the Litto Gomez event at the Outlaw (for Eric's Bachelor Party!). Here's a photo of the band-notice the dark colored Oscuro wrapper and cute little pig tail cap.
Notice LFD's new band-heavy on the black and dark red (used to have a lot of pink in it with some flowers). I like the new band but prefer the old one. Maybe the new one is supposed to warn people to watch out: some of the LFD stogies pack a punch!
Here's some "sales talk" I found online at a vendor's site:
With a pungent aroma, and very spicy on the palate, this full bodied La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Churchill Especiales is meticulously handcrafted with powerful ligero fillers and with a rich-tasting, Ecuadorian sun grown Oscuro wrapper. Like the regular La Flor Dominicana cigars, this selection is considered to be among some of the finest cigars made in the
When I pulled this bad boy out of the box, I immediately had a flash back to Eric's Bachelor Party, where Kent, Eric, Brad, Scott and I all enjoyed some great smokes. Good times!
The stogie is dark and alluring and has a tart prelight aroma. I had some trouble getting it to take the flame but once it was lit, it gave off a pleasant chalky flavor with some pepper and tart cherrys. The aroma was pleasant, as with most La Flor Dominicana's, and is one of the main reasons I keep coming back to them.
The stogie's flavor was consistent (and enjoyable!) the whole ride. By the end, the nicotine hit was noticable-and I remembered that it was a Litto "double ligero"-had forgotten the power on these guys.
Overall, I'd rate this stick a solid 3 on my four point scale. I would avoid it if you prefer mild cigars (it is medium to full flavored and full bodied).
Here I am enjoying the last bit of it.
