The La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial Super Corona brings Litto Gomez's legendary blending skills into a 7x60 double corona format. First released in 1997, this box-pressed giant showcases an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Dominican fillers that created LFD's signature "power with complexity" profile. At $250.56 per box of 24, it offers bold smokers an intense 90-minute smoke session.
First Third: Immediate espresso bean bitterness cuts through earthy barnyard notes. Dry cedar and black pepper spice coat the palate, with occasional maple syrup sweetness flickering beneath the heavy smoke output.
Middle Third: Leather and roasted almond flavors emerge as the burn line crosses the band. The Dominican filler tobacco delivers its signature dry earth character, accompanied by increased nicotine presence. White pepper replaces black pepper in retrohale.
Final Third: Charred oak and baking cocoa dominate as the large ring gauge maintains cool combustion. Expect a mineral-like finish with lingering cayenne pepper tingle on lips. The 60-ring format ensures minimal tar buildup until the nub.
The oily Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper develops thick oils when properly humidified. Dominican Piloto Cubano tobacco in the filler provides signature dry earth notes. All tobacco aged minimum 3 years before rolling at La Canela factory.
