La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Natural
The description on their website says "eat before you smoke them," they are not kidding. These cigars are
beautifully constructed with an Ecuadorian sun grown wrapper and Dominican binder and filler. The chisel tip makes it a
fun and unique cigar to smoke, but even a seasoned smoker can be left sporting a killer nicotine buzz.
The flavors in this cigar are a true pleasure to the palate. A wine like taste and the aroma of cedar were the first
things I noticed, the sun grown natural wrapper adds a sweeter flavor than that of the maduro. A spicy pepper flavor
emerged leaving a pleasant tingle on the tongue, becoming the predominate flavor for the cigar. The sweeter wine and
cedar flavors took a backseat but were still discernible enough to balance out the spiciness.
Even the smallest cigars in the Double Ligero line should be smoked with caution. This cigar does not hold back,
going straight for the knock out blow. A great cigar to end the day after a nice steak dinner. I would smoke them more
often if they were not quite so strong. Rating: 8.5/10

The guy at the shopped warned me before buying this bad boy. I am smoking one right now and I have to say, this thing has teeth. I'm a one cigar a day smoker but this wonderful cigar packs quite a punch. I am going to reserve it for going out drinking as apposed to a night cap smoke.

I enjoy a strong cigar and the Liguero and Double Ligueros in a robusto are perfect for an after-dinner smoke that leaves me relaxed and satisfied. I have trouble tasting a milder cigar, so I tend to stick with the La Flor Dominicana and Cuesta Reys for my smoking enjoyment.

I have to agree with Greg here. I'm personally instituting a 2 scotch, 1 steak minimum before smoking any more of ligeros. A full stomach is also a good idea.
A Partagas or Montechristo could be an option as well, if you're looking for other punchy alternatives.
