La Flor Dominicana La Nox Toro Review

Vitola: 6.5x50 Smoking Time: 74 Minutes Cigars Smoked: 5 Body: Full Wrapper: Brazilian Binder: Mexican San Andres Filler: Dominican MSRP: $13 La Flor Dominicana is a household name for any cigar smoker, and for a good reason. The quality is un-compromised, and consistency is there with it. LFD is always pushing the limits. La Nox translates to the night, and what a fitting name. Visual Inspection: This is one of the most visibly oily cigars I've ever seen! The wrapper is rugged, very rough, and veiny and the seams are almost unnoticeable. It has a very dark wrapper, with only a few spots of scattered brown. Aromas are sweet — raisins, coffee, and barnyard are very front forward. A cold draw matches the aroma, a cooling sweetness. First Third: The La Nox is bursting with flavor. Notes of powdered cocoa, coffee beans, walnut, muted plum, and a light splash of cream at the end. Sub-flavors of damp earth are met with fresh cut green wood. Second Third: The burn line has evened out nicely. Black pepper, walnut, toffee, chai tea, and cinnamon notes have shown through. The ash is smooth grey with a crisp slate colored smoke. Last Third: Getting increasingly spicy. Black pepper is upfront, with increased nuttiness, walnut, cream, and raspberry. With a retrohale, the walnut really shines, with undertones of espresso, chai tea, and charred oak peaking through. Final Thoughts: The flavors in this cigar are so varied, and are a true rollercoaster ride — complex and smooth. Starting out mild and sweet, leading to a complex, peppery, charred experience. At a price point of $13 per stick, it's a nice medium ground. Something that doesn't call for a celebration to enjoy, but one that would be great for that too. FAQ What does La Nox mean? La Nox is Latin for the night. Litto Gomez created the line to deliver a rich, dark-smoking experience meant for after-hours relaxation. Is La Nox Toro box-pressed? No. La Nox uses a traditional round press. The dense, oily Brazilian wrapper gives it a naturally firm feel, but edges remain rounded. How strong is La Nox compared to Double Ligero? La Nox is medium-full in body but lower in nicotine punch than LFD Double Ligero. Expect cocoa and espresso over raw power. Should I age La Nox cigars? They smoke well fresh, but 6-12 months at 65% RH rounds off pepper and amplifies cocoa sweetness.
