La Flor Dominicana Ligero Torpedo
Dominican Republic
Pyramid
6 x 54
While I have had the LFD Ligero series cigars before, the torpedo size is a new addition to the Ligero line up. Made with Dominican ligero fillers and an Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrapper, I expect this cigar to be like its other ligero brothers ââ¬â strong and spicy.
The cigar seems well crafted and sports a nice colorado claro wrapper that is smooth with a slight sheen to it. The cigar seems dense without and hard or soft spots. The pointed end comes to a nice centered, sharp point.
I clip the cigar about 5/8th of an inch from the point. The cigar lights up very easily. The flavor hits right away. A spicy, woody flavor backed by full powered tobacco flavors. After a few puffs, the initial shock dies down and settles into a nice full bodied balance of flavor and power. I also begin to notice a slight dark coffee note at the end of the flavor profile and on the finish. Cigar remains spicy, but still somewhat smooth.
The flavor remains pretty consistent at around the halfway point, perhaps picking up a bit in the spice department, along with the power. A little further along I can start to feel the nicotine kick coming on. I put the cigar down for good when the strength begins to really catch up with me, which is at about 1 5/8th inches left.
The cigar burned evenly with a very nice amount of smoke. Cigar had a nice and firm grayish white ash.
Overall an enjoyable cigar, and unlike its stronger cousin, the Double Ligero, which is very unbalanced where the power overwhelms the flavor, this cigar is still balanced enough where the flavor still comes through the raw power of the cigar. Not much different from the other Ligero cigars, but the new size is a welcome shape to those who like figurado cigars.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
