Quick Smoke: La Flor Dominicana Coronado Toro
13 Apr 2019
A couple times each week 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€
I remember first smoking, and being very impressed by, La Flor Dominicana’s Coronado shortly after it debuted in 2006. Years later the cigar disappeared, only to be relaunched in 2015 with new bands and packaging. But Coronado’s basics, including Dominican binder and filler tobaccos around a Nicaraguan sun-grown wrapper, remain the same. The Toro starts out with an intense burst of leather and peppery spice, though it later settles into a medium-to full-bodied profile with bread, oak, and leathery spice.
Verdict = Buy.

These guys piss me off. Living in Canada, the only access I had to La Flor cigars was through a couple of online retailers. Now that they refuse to sell to them, I can no longer get my favourite 654’s. I’ve bought a lot of these smoked over the years. So much for customer loyalty.
