La Flor Dominicana is synonymous with full-bodied cigars. However, that wasn’t always the case. Years ago, the Dominican Republic was relegated in many peoples’ minds as the home of exclusively mellow and sweet tobacco. But the work of Litto Gomez (and the Fuente family) turned people’s heads around. Now, LFD is one of the most celebrated boutique brands in the world, known for making rich, intense cigars from Dominican soil.

The Ligero is perhaps their most approachable blend if you are looking for an introduction to the brand. Wrapped in an Ecuador Sumatra leaf overtop Dominican binder and filler, this cigar delivers a good hit of spice as well as some natural sweetness and earthy notes. With a 92-rating in Cigar Aficionado, and a wide variety of sizes, you’re sure to find something to love here.
