La Flor Dominicana - Reserva Especial Churchill Review

[NCatron]

Was gifted this by 12stones when I met him on my trip to Houston (Thanks Ricky!).

This was my first La Flor, so I went in to it with no preconceptions. First, the construction was flawless. Firm and visually appealing, with a razor sharp burn.

The taste was one of those cigars that leaves a semi-newb like myself completely baffled trying to identify them. Sort of a multi-layered thing going on, that made it hard to pick out any one dominant flavor. Very tasty though.

The only area where I can knock this cigar is burn speed. I have never had a cigar burn this fast. I smoked a whole churchill in the time it usually takes me to smoke a robusto, and I wasn't power-herfing at all. And oddly enough, with how fast it burned, I never got any hot/harsh smoke. So if you want a churchill that you can smoke during a lunch break, here it is. (Hopefully mine was a fluke though.)

I think you may have gotten an aberration, the few LFD's I have had the pleasure to smoke were on the slow side. They are complex, especially in the churchill size.

Good review!
