Last week, I received this short cigar review of the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero 660 from Lt. Col. Mitch Fadem, who is currently deployed in Afghanistan. For all individuals who enjoy reading Dr. Fadem's specific cigar reviews, here's one more 1 just for you:
I smoked a cigar tonight that I haven't tried to smoke simply because March 2007. The reason I remember it is because it was given to me before I deployed the last time. The cigar review may be the LFD Double Ligero 660 from La Flor Dominicana. Another reason I remember it's because it was the strongest cigar I had ever attempted to smoke. I stated attempted, not finished. I could not even smoke it over Five minutes prior to I just had to put it down. It was way as well bold and full bodied for my palate at that time. Now? Mainly because then, I have smoked Camacho Triple Maduro and recently the Cain Fuerte, a triple ligero. So, this evening when I was given the LFC Double Ligero 660, I was a modest hesitant.
To my surprise once I got past that very first 1/4 inch on the cigar it settled to a incredibly smooth yet really full bodied stick. It's after all a 54x4.5" stogie and smoked slow and cool appropriate down towards the last inch. The ash held for 1 hour and I was only half way through the cigar forum. The taste was incredibly nutty and rich and did not change. If there was any change, it got smoother at the mid-point. The total smoking time was One hour and 45 minutes, and in your short fat cigar, that was great as well as being a good significance at around $6.50 each. This a single was a gift, but it may well have smoked just and also the Cain's that are still sitting in my humidor now for more than Three months. I must smoke a Cain Fuerte tomorrow just to determine the difference.
This just goes to show you how your palate can improve over time. In fact, the cigar was so nutty that I had a taste for consuming nuts after I finished, and went back to my 8x18 box (that is my room or cabin or whatever you would like call the location we rest around here) and ate some mixed nuts, unsalted. After consuming the nuts, I decided that the taste in the cigar was a combination of walnuts and almonds having a hint of sour cherries. Okay that is certainly my mini-review for tonight.
Oh, an additional thing. I incredibly impressed the guy that gave me the cigar and his cigar smoking buddies, whom I did not know. One of them lit up a cigar across from me. The light was poor, simply because we have been in the Destille Garden at night and there just are not too several lights, so I could not see the band on a cigar. But I could see the shape, and also the aroma once he very first lit it was very distinctive. The friend that gave me my LFD 660 told the sleep with the group how I was a real aficionado, and they mentioned "prove it". So, I looked at the guy across from me that just lit his cigar and said, "You are smoking a La Gloria Cubana Serie R.". Of course I was right, and no a single could believe that I knew just inside shape and aroma. I am either quite beneficial or lucky, or both, or I have just smoked as well several cigars.
