La Flor Dominicana Limited Production Double Ligero Lancero

Well, they got me again. I ordered a 5 pack of these right after the Cigar Aficionado 91 rating came out in the Top 25 of 2017 list. They were fantastic! Even better than expected. I savored them and was careful not to smoke them all up in the first week LOL!But a few months later in June I found this second 5 pack, and the flavor is almost non-existent.....and the cigar is a little harsh. It s so disappointing, but all too common in the cigar industry. Some brands do seem to work hard to maintain their blends, but others apparently start putting lesser tobacco into the cigars after receiving a great rating. We all know the game. Not a horrible cigar, but average. I would rate it closer to an 81 than a 91 now. The thing that s so surprising is that I ve had such good experience with all of the LFD Double Ligero sticks. Maybe it s just this first cigar out of the pack. I ll smoke another one soon and update my review if I like that one better.
