La Flor Dominicana belicoso prototype (6" x 50) (name unknown)
This belicoso from La Flor Dominicana is a prototype of an upcoming addition to the Ligero line of cigars (I don't know what it will eventually be named). It uses Dominican LFD farm-grown tobacco for the binder and filler (with a blend that's presumably similar to the rest of the Ligero line).
The interesting thing about this cigar, in addition to the new vitola, is that it's using a new wrapper: Habano-seed wrapper that is grown in Nicaragua. The wrapper is a smooth, nut-brown color, with an invitingly attractive sheen to it.
The cigar itself has a nice mature blend, largely medium bodied, but with nice hints of spice, and initially musty/mushroomy/earthy undertones. It develops into a lightly cinnamon-spiced cocoa taste profile, that is not overpowering but leaves a slight tingle of spice in your mouth after a draw.
I'm personally a fan of Litto's stronger stuff, the Double Ligero Churchill Especiales, the original Limitado, and more recently the exquisite Lanceros. As such while I enjoyed this cigar, I'm more likely to stick to the aforementioned more robust blends.
If the Double Ligero LFD lines are too spicy/powerful for you, and you've been a fan of the Ligero line, this cigar might be of interest to you; the new wrapper certainly adds a new twist on the existing Ligero line.
