Quick Smoke: La Flor Dominicana LG Diez Dominicano 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.”

Not long ago, I was browsing a store that I don’t often go into and came across some well-aged La Flor Dominicana products, including this 2013 LG Diez Dominicano. The Churchill  (6.9 x 50) features a pale sun-grown Dominican Habano wrapper that surrounds Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. The well-constructed cigar is full-bodied, woody, and creamy with lots of red and black pepper spice. With a little leather on the finish, it’s a fine example of the complexity and body a Dominican puro can deliver.

Verdict = Buy.
