La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero ~ Lancero

[badwhale]

Smoke: La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero ~ Lancero
Drink: Victory Storm King
Tunes: King’s X ~ assorted tracks

Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican

Draw: Medium to firm draw
Burn: Good
Misc: 60min

Pre-light: Good construction with pigtail cap. Colorado shade wrapper, but is a light / dark tobacco splotchy. Lightly veined. Has a leather / tobacco scent. Cut prelight taste is a slightly spicy leathery tobacco flavor.



Light: Easy. Medium to firm draw.

1st 3rd: Slightly peppery. Leathery and toothy. I’m not getting a whole lot yet besides leathery and pepper. Leaves a dense coating on the palate.



Ash: Light to medium gray. Little black ash specks. I knocked it off accidently at about ½”



2nd 3rd: Spicy has died a bit. It’s more subdued but still there, like a red hot candy. Some more leathery / tobacco notes and tea, and a woodsy oily flavor. More interesting now.



3rd 3rd: More like the 2nd 3rd. Red hot spice, leather, woodsy oil, leathery tobacco. Nice.



Overall impression: Good, solid lancero. I’m not sure this vitola is made now, according to LFD’s website, but I’d buy some more if I could find them.

Shit. I had one of these, I've never smoked one before, I threw it in the ppp prize pack, now I kinda wish I smoked it myself. Something for the next winner to look forward to.

ETA: I'm kinda being a post whore just to show off my boss new sig tag (thanks mark!!)

Good review. I had the smaller, Perfecto, version of this one. I liked it but had a hellava time keeping it lit. I do enjoy the La Flor Dominicano Air Bender line.
