The La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero 654 Natural hits like a turbocharged freight train for seasoned smokers. This 6"x54 box-pressed dominican torpedo comes in bundles of 20 sticks at $192.60 per box. Packed with sun-grown ligero leaves from top primings, it's the cigar equivalent of drinking espresso through a firehose - deliciously brutal.
The matte espresso-colored wrapper feels like oiled saddle leather under fingers. Cold draw delivers dried cherries dipped in black pepper. First puffs explode with fire-roasted coffee beans and asphalt undertones. By the inch mark, Dominican soil minerals emerge - wet granite and iron-rich earth - balanced by unexpected molasses sweetness on the retrohale.
Mid-section develops charred meat umami with maple-smoked bacon fat. Burn stays razor-straight despite the thick ligero core. At halfway point, nicotine starts crawling up your neck like electric spiders. Pair with full-fat milk or high-proof bourbon to counterbalance the body slam.
Hand-rolled in La Romana using volcanic soil-grown ligero leaves under Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers. The "double ligero" refers to stacking sun-grown upper leaves from both Dominican and Nicaraguan plants. Aging process tames some bite without dulling the flavor payload.
