La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial Connecticut Shade

Litto Gomez blended the Reserva Especial as a lighter counterpoint to the bold, powerhouse cigars his Dominican factory is famous for. A silky, golden Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and estate-grown Piloto Cubano long-fillers from the Dominican Republic. Strength runs mild to medium, making this an easy all-day smoke even for newer enthusiasts.

Roasted cashews and caramel sweetness open things up nicely, with cedar, a touch of cinnamon, cardamom, and a whisper of white pepper rounding out a smooth, creamy finish. The construction is flawless and the burn is laser sharp from start to finish. If you've been looking for a well-crafted Connecticut that punches above its weight in complexity, add a box to your humidor today.
