The blend starts with perfectly aged long filler and binder tobaccos grown on La Flor Dominicana’s La Canela farm in the Dominican Republic. These tobaccos are harvested from the very top of the plant, called the ligero priming, and the leaf from this part of the plant is soaked in sunlight and brimming with nutrients. A line extension of the famous LFD Ligero, as the name suggests the ligero tobaccos in the fillers have been doubled up for an even richer kick. These ligero leaves are then joined by a top-shelf Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper available in both EMS and Maduro shades.
The EMS version with its vibrant full-bodied tapestry of pepper, zesty spice, coffee, wood, cinnamon, and sweet tobacco notes that show impeccable balance along with their boldness. With the darker Maduro blend, I get added nuances of chocolate and earthiness that pair wonderfully with a rich chocolate dessert. Even seasoned smokers should beware that the La Flor Domnicana Double Ligero should not be enjoyed on an empty stomach, or without something to sip on nearby that can help counter the intensity of the punch.
The smoking time is generous and it’s important to take some time away from the hustle and bustle with this cigar. So many times, a cigar can simply accompany a smoker during an activity or on a journey. Maybe that’s in a fishing boat or on a hike or sitting pool side and conversing with friends. However, the Double Ligero is not just an ordinary cigar. This is the perfect pull for those clear, starry nights where there’s nothing else on the calendar. Allow this cigar to help set the stage for a complete evening. A perfect, filling meal, a fine cut on the cigar and the pouring of a single malt scotch—a recommended drink pairing—and an open mind preparing to be taken by storm.
