La Flor Dominicana

Cabinet Maduro

My god this cigar is oily. It's so oily that when I straight cut the cap it came unraveled a bit. Right away there was a deep dark chocolate cherry flavor which developed more into a toasty coffee flavor. The contrast of the dark and oily wrapper against the bright white ash is really cool looking. A fairly tight draw, but the smoke output is good and the flavor is great. The burn is slightly uneven but once the ash fell, around 2 inches through the smoke, I touched it up to even out the burn again. I was expecting a lot more earthiness and strong tobacco flavor but this is so well balanced nothing sticks out as too much. Fantastic smoke overall!
