La Flor Dominicana Ligero

La Flor Dominicana Ligero is considered the crown jewel of the La Flor Dominicana line. The company grows its own ligero tobacco in its own fields, which is then aged for years before rolled into a rich, full-bodied, and exceptionally flavorful blend.

To understand the significance of these cigars you have to understand what Ligero tobacco is. It is tobacco taken from the laves that grow toward the very top of each individual tobacco plant. The leaves on top get the most sunlight and nutrients, which gives the tobacco a stronger, fuller, more powerful taste.

Because of the impeccable construction and flavor of these cigars, Cigar Insider recently awarded a 91 rating to La Flor Dominicana Ligero.

The cigar itself has a firm draw that gives off a creamy smoke. You get a peppery aftertaste after each puff that is noticeable but not overpowering. There are spicy hints as well, deriving from the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The filler is Dominican in origin, which gives the cigar an ideally balanced flavor.

The finish on the La Flor Dominicana Ligero is equally satisfying. You get a great aroma of cedar and a noticeable touch of roasted almonds. Though powerful, this cigar is never too powerful. It is smooth and very enjoyable, and gives you much to savor after a good meal.
