The La Flor Dominicana Colorado Oscuro No 2 smacks you with full-bodied intensity in a compact 4.25"x48 format - think of it as LFD's pocket rocket for seasoned smokers. This box-pressed corona comes in 50-count bundles costing about $7.74 per stick, delivering Dominican pugnacity wrapped in Ecuadorian darkness.
The initial punches land hard - black pepper and cayenne spice attack the palate through thick, chewy smoke. Beneath the aggression lies dark chocolate sweetness and espresso bitterness fighting for dominance. Construction holds firm with a razor-straight burn line.
At the halfway mark, the cigar reveals its sophistication. Roasted almond and molasses notes emerge through the Nicaraguan Habano wrapper's oil-slick texture. Retrohale exposes subtle cherry wood accents, though the nicotine kick keeps demanding attention.
The last third unleashes LFD's signature earthiness - damp soil and coffee grounds dominate as the body thickens. Expect moderate tar buildup by the nub. Savory smokers will relish the licorice tail, though lightweights might tap out before the 50-minute finish.
Grown in La Canela's volcanic soil and rolled in Santiago, this puro flexes Dominican terroir. The limited-edition Nicaraguan wrapper adds sweet counterbalance to the local filler's brute strength - a rare fusion that explains its cult following among full-bodied enthusiasts.
