Apr 3rd 2012 - La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero

Today brings us the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero in a 5.5x48 Chisel Gorda vitola. When I first heard about a "chisel" cigar I thought there's no way it's anything but a gimmick. Boy was I wrong. LFD hit a home run with their chisel design. The Double Ligero was a response to the growing need for more full bodied cigars. You can get them in either an Ecuadorian Sun Grown natural or maduro wrapper with a Dominican binder and Dominican ligero fillers. Today I'm featuring the maduro version. You'll get full bodied flavors of pepper, earth, chocolate, espresso and a classic maduro sweetness to round it all out. I chose this to feature today because of the great news that was announced yesterday. The Deftones have finished writing their new "futuristic" album that according to Chino closely resembles White Pony. He also said that it could be released as early as this summer!
