So the other day after work I stopped into Xhale Lounge to see how everything was going. I learned that they are now running a special on La Flor Dominicana cigars. From now until October 7th, they are running a buy three and get one free deal on of LFD cigars. So when I learned that the special was going on now, I wanted to review one of their sticks since I haven’t yet. I know its strange that I have had this website for about six months and I haven’t reviewed an LFD yet.
Well this cigar looks stunning. The oscuro wrapper is amazing in every aspect. It is very dark and oily. There were a couple veins, but nothing too bad. There was a nice, tight pigtail cap that unraveled to be about two inches. The stick is very solid with a nice soft foot that made it easy to light. This stick also gave off a nice earthy smell that gave me a nice heads-up as to what I was to expect.
The flavor was delicious right away. There was a good amount of spice off of the light, but that quickly died down to give way to a sweetness. The sweetness was something I had not tasted many times before. I had to taste it a few times before I could pinpoint it, and the only thing I could come up with was a slight fruity flavor. I know that’s general, but I would have to smoke a couple more of these to pinpoint a little bit more.
Along with the fruity sweetness came along a nice woody flavor. After a couple inches, the flavor became very leathery and the combination of the wood and leather coated my palate perfectly.
