Quick Smoke: La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial Belicoso

15 Nov 2008

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

I picked up this subtle gem in a sampler pack at a recent La Flor event at one of my local B&Ms. The Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian wrapper, combined with a Nicaraguan binder and Piloto Cubano filler tobaccos, yields a creamy taste of cashews with a woodsy spice. Satisfying but not overstated. And like virtually every other La Flor I’ve tried, this Belicoso (5.5 x 52) boasts near-perfect physical properties.

Verdict = Buy.

    Patrick:

    Was this at OVTC. If so, thinking of paying them a visit to see if they have more. I snagged some LFDs at the same event, but missed this particular one. Thanks for the review.

    Actually, the event was at Cigar Connection on Fairfax Dr. in Arlington, VA, on Thursday night. The owners seem to have a fairly good assortment of LFDs on hand.

    I haven't had this La flor yet but I have had several of the Double Ligero Chisels and they are always tasty.
