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 people who appreciate reading Dr. Fadem's particular cigar reviews, here's another 1 just for you:
I smoked a cigar tonight that I haven't tried to smoke because March 2007. The reason I remember it's as it was given to me ahead of I deployed the last time. The cigar review is the LFD Double Ligero 660 from La Flor Dominicana. Another reason I remember it's since it was the strongest cigar I had ever attempted to smoke. I said attempted, not finished. I could not even smoke it more than 5 minutes ahead of I just had to put it down. It was way as well bold and full bodied for my palate at that time. Now? Simply because then, I have smoked Camacho Triple Maduro and recently the Cain Fuerte, a triple ligero. So, this evening as soon as I was given the LFC Double Ligero 660, I was a small hesitant.
To my surprise once I got past that very first 1/4 inch with the cigar it settled to a really smooth yet very full bodied stick. It's following all a 54x4.5" stogie and smoked slow and cool correct down on the last inch. The ash held for a single hour and I was only half way through the cigar forum. The taste was quite nutty and rich and did not change. If there was any change, it got smoother at the mid-point. The total smoking time was A single hour and 45 minutes, and to your short fat cigar, that was good along with as a great value at around $6.50 each. This 1 was a gift, but it may possibly have smoked just as well as the Cain's that are still sitting in my humidor now for over Three months. I need to smoke a Cain Fuerte tomorrow just to determine the difference.
This just goes to show you how your palate can adjust more than time. In fact, the cigar was so nutty that I had a taste for eating nuts once I finished, and went back to my 8x18 box (that is my room or cabin or whatever you need call the place we rest close to here) and ate some mixed nuts, unsalted. Right after consuming the nuts, I decided how the taste of the cigar was a combination of walnuts and almonds with a hint of sour cherries. Okay which is my mini-review for tonight.
Oh, an additional thing. I quite impressed the guy that gave me the cigar and his cigar smoking buddies, whom I did not know. 1 of them lit up a cigar across from me. The light was poor, because we had been inside the Destille Garden at night and there just are not as well several lights, so I could not see the band over a cigar. But I could see the shape, and also the aroma when he first lit it was incredibly distinctive. The friend that gave me my LFD 660 told the rest in 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 one could feel that I knew just in the shape and aroma. I am either very great or lucky, or both, or I have just smoked as well many cigars.
