La Flor Dominicana (LFD) AirBender Valiente Review
By Francina AlvarezThe La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Valiente is a full-bodied smoke with earthy tones and good complexity. It has flavor notes of nuts, cedar, and black pepper, which come together into one cohesive package that tastes close to its full strength rating but has enough flavors to make it feel more like an everyday smoke. This cigar was also created by a collaboration between Litto Gomez and his son Antonio Gomez. It showcases the excellence expected of all La Flor Dominicana Cigars and cigar accessories. Let’s review the La Flor Dominicana (LFD) AirBender Valiente cigar!
La Flor Dominicana (LFD) AirBender Valiente Review
The Air Bender blend consists of Dominican binder and filler tobacco, with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, and it burns evenly to the end with no soft spots or stray leaves. The smoke has been described as having hints of chocolate and coffee with notes of leather and pepper throughout your experience with this cigar. The Valiente smells like sweet tobacco with notes of coffee, black pepper at the end of the tongue, and leather on the cold draw.
The size of this cigar is 6 1/4″ x 60, with a smoke output of around 45 minutes and is an excellent value for money and recommended if you’re looking for something sweet yet full-bodied while enjoying quality time outdoors or indoors. The construction of this stick is excellent, with a nice oily wrapper that’s been rolled very tightly, so it doesn’t burn unevenly or unravel as you smoke it down to its nub.
This cigar has been aged for three years before being rolled into your cigar case. This process gives it a very smooth flavor with hints of leather and cedar throughout the smoke and on your lips after you light up this beauty. It provides a smoke full in body with a good draw but lacks a specific sweetness. Overall, this cigar tastes good, typical of LFD: rich tobacco flavors with spice notes. Shop now, at Cigar Country!
