La Flor Dominicana – Connecticut

Posted By ironmeden on June 7, 2009

Last night I watched with some friends Rocky IV. It had been probably 15 years since I’d seen the movie. As I watched the movie I thought about the patriotism that the movie displayed which I believe is lacking in movies these days. A movie like Red Dawn displayed how America can fight for what we believe. There wasn’t anything in these movies that led you to believe that America was in the wrong unlike the movies we see today where there is always something wrong with America and when we go to fight, we are supposed to me ashamed. Now i’m not saying we need propaganda movies, but something that shows the country and it’s fighting forces in a positive light.

La Flor Dominicana – Connecticut

The wrapper is a golden brown in color. A few minor veins but otherwise smooth in texture. You may notice in some of the pictures the wrapper is coming loose. This is my fault, when I brought it home from the shop, I was a little rough with the cigar and the wrapper tore slightly.

Punched the head of the cigar and lit it with my Colibri Triple Flame lighter. My first few puffs are quite bitter.  There is a slightly tight draw.

The 1/4 mark finds the cigar losing the bitterness slightly.  The draw is still a little tight. The flavors i’m getting are earthy with a light leather tone. It has a salty taste.

At the halfway point the salty flavor disappeared. It started to smooth out with the draw getting easier. I was tasting a more light woody and hay flavors.

A light coffee taste appears at the 3/4 mark. The cigar got a slightly fuller in flavor but overall this is a mild to almost medium in strength.

The La Flor Dominicana CT is a good cigar. If you like a CT with a little more taste then this is your cigar. I give it a 3.5
