La Flor Dominicana ~ Mysterio

Desert Rat’s Review

Smoke: La Flor Dominicana ~ Mysterio
Drink: Yuengling Porter
Tunes: SRV Assorted

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Sumatra
Filler: Dominican
Draw: Perfect
Burn: Excellent
Misc: Goes for about 60+ minutes

Pre-light: Pig tail screw cap of a Colorado shade. Foot has the same Colorado shade exposed for about ½”. Rest is cloaked in a Colorado maduro shade wrapper. A little lumpy / bumpy, and medium veins, but obviously is top notch construction. Not much prelight scent. There’s a leathery / spicy cut prelight flavor.



Light: Easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Definitely changes from a light spicy to a more full body smoke when you hit the maduro shade wrapper portion. Nice balance of spice, floral accents, oil and leather. I’ll stop thinking and get to enjoying now…



Ash: Medium gray. Scaly and holds on for an impressive 2”



2nd 3rd: Leather, oil, floral, sweet tobacco, woodsy, and spice. All balanced very nicely. Back to smokin’…



3rd 3rd: Shit!, almost down to the nub now, and I forgot to log the 3rd 3rd. Just been enjoying it thoroughly. Sweet with some spice. Woodsy, and oily, and leathery. Great smoke.



Overall impression: I enjoyed it...very good cigar. A little on the pricey side, but I would consider it for a special occasion smoke.

Thanks bigwhiteash. Been holdin’ out to review this one… ;)

Now that is one seriously nice looking cigar. Good ash, and you can just see the oil glistening off of that. Besides, love the flavor profile you described.
Have to put one of those on my Want List.

Excellent review Will.

Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

Certainly a favorite of mine.... few and far between, though.

Great review as always, Will. I did not care for these much when they first came out. Truth is, they do get much better with age.
