La Flor Dominicana belicoso prototype review

[moki]

La Flor Dominicana belicoso prototype (6" x 50) (name unknown)

This belicoso from La Flor Dominicana is a prototype of an upcoming addition to the Ligero line of cigars (I don't know what it will eventually be named). It uses Dominican LFD farm-grown tobacco for the binder and filler (with a blend that's presumably similar to the rest of the Ligero line).

The interesting thing about this cigar, in addition to the new vitola, is that it's using a new wrapper: Habano-seed wrapper that is grown in Nicaragua. The wrapper is a smooth, nut-brown color, with an invitingly attractive sheen to it.

The cigar itself has a nice mature blend, largely medium bodied, but with nice hints of spice, and initially musty/mushroomy/earthy undertones. It develops into a lightly cinnamon-spiced cocoa taste profile, that is not overpowering but leaves a slight tingle of spice in your mouth after a draw.

I'm personally a fan of Litto's stronger stuff, the Double Ligero Churchill Especiales, the original Limitado, and more recently the exquisite Lanceros. As such while I enjoyed this cigar, I'm more likely to stick to the aforementioned more robust blends.

If the Double Ligero LFD lines are too spicy/powerful for you, and you've been a fan of the Ligero line, this cigar might be of interest to you; the new wrapper certainly adds a new twist on the existing Ligero line.

Looks like a nice stick to be puffing on. All this talk made me buy some more LFD since the stuff i have in there...Cant smoke right now. Been in there to long and I bought them when I met the man himself last year.

Thanks for the review Moki. Looks like another fine LFD stick that I will look forward to trying. Your description makes it sound very tasty. I love the Double Ligero lines but sometimes they are a little too much. This sounds like it will be nice.

Damn - finally got my hands on the Lanceros and now there will be something else to be on the look out for from Litto. :angry2:

Looks good - thanks for the review. :thumbs:

I personally prefer the lanceros by a wide margin... all depends on your personal taste. If you like Litto's Ligero line, you'll like this smoke quite a bit I think.

I just got my hands on a lfd ligero last night and absolutely loved it. It had lots of flavor and was an excelent burn. I am a big fan now, but it is the only lfd I have smoked. I have to try the others now. Thanks for the review... it is making me salivate :laugh:
