Quick Smoke: La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Lancero

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

With its oily yet rustic wrapper and plenty of pre-ight aromas, this cigar seems like a winner. The lancero starts out with a burst of woody spice, but soon fades into a singular earthy flavor that’s medium- to full-bodied. Construction is problematic, as the burn has a tendency to go out and the ash seems to be constantly falling off. I’ve smoked and enjoyed many different sizes of the La Flor Double Ligero line, and while not a bad smoke, the lancero lacks the depth and complexity of its larger ring gauge counterparts.

Verdict = Hold.
