La Flor Dominicana Los Perfectos Sampler
"Perfect gift for any cigar lover"
All cigars in the box were of the highest quality, no construction or appearance problems. As for the taste, I liked some more than the others. You can see that they all have a rating above 90 at the Famous web site which tells something. This box would be an ideal gift for any true cigar enthusiast. One recommendation: after purchasing and opening the box remove cigars from the box or, if you decide to leave them in the box, turn them 180 degrees about their axis (labels down) and give them a week or so in the humidor. I found serious burn problems (canoeing) with the first two sticks which I think were caused by uneven humidification during storage due to the construction of cigar holders. After I turned the remaining three cigars and they rested a week in humidor the burn was fine.

La Flor Dominicana Double Press
"Not your fathers Dominican"
Only recently have I tried the LFDs again. Typically a mild (at best) Dominican, their line-up now has the Ligeros that produce the amazing flavours and complexities. This Double Press is one to try again if you are a Honduran or Nicaraguain smoker. It is in no way the LFD of 20 years ago. The draw was no surprise, as some tight box presses can be a constant effort. This square stick burned very evenly and the taste made me smile the whole length and finished great. I have smoked probably a dozen so far and they have all been very consistantly constructed and burned.

La Flor Dominicana Lancero
"Phenomenal"
Based on only smoking one of these, I've got to say this is an excellent cigar. Everything that is great about the wrapper and filler combo is brought to perfect balance. The flavors are exceptional without one dominating another. Great balance of flavor and strength. Right up there with the LFD Cameroon Cabinet #1 as my favorite La Flor.

"Good but shouldn't cost more then a petit Tatuaje"
I like these cigars. Great spice, flavors, and typical LFD nicotine punch, although this blend seems to be a bit more ligero heavy and it makes it taste a bit more bitter at times.
I've had burn and draw issues, but I think they are shipped fairly wet, so dry box them for a day or so if you intend to smoke them relatively soon after purchase.
However, even at the sale price, I wouldn't purchase them over a petit Tatuaje, which suprisingly can be found for cheaper. I do like the presentation of these in their cedar flip top case. Unfortunately, you don't smoke the packaging though.

"Very disappointing from a favorite cigar maker."
A very disappointing cigar. I really could not get a good draw and from what I did it was harsh and bitter. I tried 3 and had to toss it away after getting through only a 1/4 of the way down. Not what I expected from a favorite cigar maker of mine.

La Flor Dominicana Los Perfectos Sampler
"Fantastic Sampler"
I can't recommend these highly enough. Very well made cigar selection with a variety of strengths and flavors. They are not cheap but they are worth every penny. I normally prefer medium strength cigars but even the heavier ones in this selection were never harsh or overpowering. Probably my favorite cigar selection to date. An ideal gift for a cigar lover.

La Flor Dominicana Mojito (10)
"poor at best"
I received these thru an FS auction. I should have known better. They are stale, and have no Mojito flavot that I can detect. Well the best I can say is they kept the bugs away.

La Flor Dominicana Culebra Especial
"A special treat.. too good for 'everyday'"
I purchased this locally using a gift card I recieved for Christmas. The presentation is exciting, but the smoke was WELL ABOVE what I expected. Easy to light, a good firm ash, a soft taste (perfect with scotch) and no 'buring taste' at the end. I think I've discovered a new favorite!

"lots of flavor"
This little cigar demands respect. I was actually shocked at how much flavor this thing had. Not to mention the billowing clouds of smoke it produced. Smoked for 20-30 min down to the nub. It never got too hot either. This cigar is perfect for cold weather. And the fact that these are hand made with long filler tobacco makes this a no brainer.
