La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Valiente

Big ring, big flavor, and all the bravado the name promises, the Air Bender Valiente is a full-bodied Dominican-made toro dressed in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Litto Gomez describes the blend as creamy, spicy, and woody with semi-sweet tobacco notes, and other reviews echo that with cedar, nuts, earth, and black pepper working together in a surprisingly smooth way. The result feels broad and savory on the palate, like toasted oak, warm spice, and a little sweetness hanging in the smoke.
