La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Air Bender Guerrero Cigar Review
Let’s review – made in the Dominican Republic by La Flor Dominicana, the Air Bender Guerrero cigar is full-flavored and full-bodied. It uses Dominican Olor filler tobacco from Navarette and a Piloto binder from La Canela. The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that has been cured for at least three years. You can find these at any of your favorite cigar shops! You might have to ask your tobacconist to order them, as they aren’t commonly stocked at brick-and-mortar stores yet. This cigar is made in the Dominican Republic by LFD, a factory that has been making cigars for over 40 years. This is one of the best cigars you can buy and one of the most expensive ones on our list. It has a full flavor, with notes of coffee and chocolate. The filler tobacco used to make this cigar comes from Nicaragua and Honduras, so you’ll get some great tobacco flavors with every puff.
The Air Bender Guerrero cigar is a Dominican puro made by La Flor Dominicana (LFD). The flavor profile of this cigar has notes of earthy spice and sweet tobacco in the first half, followed by cinnamon and cocoa in the second half. The smoke textures are excellent, as they are thick yet creamy in appearance – almost like clouds of smoke billowing up out of an open fire!
The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that has been cured for at least three years. This means that the cigar has been stored in a humidor, away from sunlight and heat, which increases its flavor and smoothness. The wrapper is the outermost layer of a cigar, so LFD must use good quality tobacco to produce an outstanding smoke experience. The LFD Air Bender Guerrero is available in boxes of 20 with a price of $174.60 per box on the Cigar Country online store.
This cigar packs a punch in terms of flavor, but it’s well worth it. The wrapper on this stick is sweet and smooth, with no harshness or bitterness at all. It also has some nice spice notes that add complexity to the smoke, making it very enjoyable to smoke throughout your meal or while relaxing on your couch watching Netflix with friends.
The draw was excellent throughout this review; however, some may find it too tight if they prefer a lot of airflows when smoking large ring gauge cigars like these. The burn was even throughout most parts but needed some touch-ups toward its end due to uneven temperature depending on where you held them between draws; however, there weren’t any issues with tunneling, so its performance was good overall.
