I spent the day at Little Taste of Cuba in Princeton, NJ which is a a shop owned by Jorge from Tobacconist University. In there humidor they had a cigar that I have been dying to try for the longest, the La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Lancero. I smoked one today earlier in the shop and made a few notes and now I am lighting up the second one to get my review for the day up. I had another cigar lined up but the day but I really wanted to review this one, so here we are.

Cigar: La Flor Dominicana
Size: 7.5 x 38 (Lancero)

Top 15 Cigars of 2010

top15_2010

Every year many cigar smokers look forward to the yearly release of Top Cigars from Cigar Aficionado. In fact I know one person from New Jersey who usually uses that list to make a large purchase of boxes as put out by that magazine. Love them or hate them manufacturers want to get on that list. However, the last few years I have not agreed with many cigars that make the list. While the Casa Magna is a great stick was it really deserving of cigar of the year?

The criteria to make out list is simple, it had to be released in 2010.

Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Chisel

So the other night on Twitter I asked what cigar to be reviewed on Monday and which cigar to be ruled today. As luck would have it the Air Bender Chisel was today’s cigar and I got to spend some time last night with Andrew who is Vice President of Sales for La Flor Dominicana and the new northeast sales rep, Peter. We chilled in Cigar Inn on 2nd Avenue smoked some cigars and finished off a bottle of rum. Well at least Andrew and I did since Peter was driving and didn’t want to drink. We kept the conversation light, didn’t really discuss anything blog worthy and shared a bunch of laughs. It was a good time, and had the feel of a couple of friends hanging out to enjoy a smoke.

The last Sunday of July and I am fed up with the heat. It really has exhausted all my creativity and the ability to write not that I ever had that ability before. So this week I will cheat some and offer up to you the cigars I think are in the running for cigar of the year. The top 6 in no particular order are:

Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana Air Bender

La Flor Dominicana Air Bender

The La Flor Domincana Air Bender is the latest release from Litto Gomez and it comes in four sizes. I hear the name is a tribute to Litto’s passion for Kung Fu but I have not been able to confirm that. It is also the first full release to use the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that graced the limited edition Salomon.

The four sizes that this cigar will be released in are the Matatan (5 × 50), Guerrero (6.25 × 54), Maestro (5.5 × 52) and the Valiente (6.25 × 60). The price of this cigar rangers from #7.00 to $8.50 before local takes. La Flor Dominicana calls these cigars “intense, sophisticated and powerful”.
