[badwhale]

Smoke: Coronado by La Flor ~ Double Corona
Drink: Troegs Nugget Nectar
Tunes: Eric Clapton ~ Assorted
Date Smoked: 2/28/13

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Draw: Medium draw
Burn: n/a
Misc: n/a

Pre-light: Nice Colorado shade wrapper. A little lumpy, but mostly good construction and a velvety smooth looking wrapper. Faint sparkly plume. A slight musty smell with cedar and sweet tobacco scent. A bit of spice and leather taste on the cut.



Light: Using matches, easy with a medium draw.

1st 3rd: Medium body. Medium flavor. A little spicy, but subsides quickly. It has a LFD ligero profile, a bit. A slight acrid tea note, woody mixed in, and somewhat smooth, but just a little tooth. Good sofar.



Ash: Flakey and faded gray. Holds for about 1 ½”



2nd 3rd: Pretty nice. Bitter oil and tea twinge, mixed with woodsy, sweet tobacco. Officially smooth. Most of the flavor is on the draw. It is just smooth, and pleasant. Medium body.



3rd 3rd: Same as second. Oil, tea flavor and sweet tobacco. Leaves a nice aftertaste. Picks up in flavor profile near the end.



Overall impression: Good cigar, wish they had smaller vitolas.

Sounds really good to me for a Sunday morning smoke with some coffee. I enjoy that vitola for this purpose. Thanks for the review.

Not sure how I missed this review. I've been a fan of LFD and L. Gomez in my first few years of smoking. I had one of these, I think it was a perfecto from one of the LFD perfecto samplers. Got it in a trade from one of the great members here, and I have another in an LFD sampler I bought from paddy a while back. I don't remember any specifics from the one I smoked but I do remember liking it.

Nice review.
