Quick Smoke: La Flor Dominicana Colorado Oscuro No. 4
11 May 2013
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
This cigar can be summed up easily: excellent. From the dark, oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and pungent cold aroma to a symphony of flavors that begins with the light and never lets up, the Colorado Oscuro No. 4 is terrific. La Flor’s Florida-area manager, Antonio Gomez, told me the line is produced once or twice a year, “depending on wrapper availability.†The blend, with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, remains the same each time, Gomez added. As with many LFDs, it’s a strong cigar, but by no means overwhelming. The No. 4 is hefty, weighing in at 5.25 inches long with a ring gauge of 54. And, if I may repeat myself, it’s excellent.
Verdict = Buy.

Wow that is a beautiful looking wrapper. These look like the kind of cigars you should buy a box of and sit on for 20+ years. Too bad most LFD's make me queasy 🙁
This is a fantastic cigar indeed. My last couple trips to my local shop, I can't help but buy one. Full flavor cigar lovers put this on your list.
