The La Flor Dominicana Ligero L350 Oscuro hits the ground running with its 52 ring gauge x 5" robusto format, packing enough strength to make your eyebrows sweat. Priced at $198.72 for a 24-count pack, this Dominican firestick comes wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra Oscuro leaf that looks like it's been dipped in motor oil. Perfect for those who consider "mild" a four-letter word.
Initial puffs deliver espresso grounds and black pepper with an undertone of burnt caramel. The smoke feels dense enough to chew, leaving a licorice-like sweetness on the lips.
Dominican filler tobaccos reveal dark chocolate and roasted cashews. Watch for occasional mineral notes reminiscent of gunflint - a signature LFD characteristic.
Leather and damp earth dominate as nicotine strength peaks. The retrohale develops charcoal-like intensity that pairs best with strong black coffee.
Grown in La Canela's volcanic soil, these Dominican puros use ligero leaves from the top third of plants. The oscuro wrapper undergoes 2+ years fermentation, developing that signature oily sheen.
