Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra, Cameroon & Oscuro Ecuadorian Sumatra
Origin: Dominican Republic

What a lucky guy I am.  The La Flor Dominicana Culebra Lanceros are some of the hardest cigars to find.  The Double Ligero Lanceros by LFD are themselves a tough find.  But every once in a [...]

Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Origin: Dominican Republic
Age: fresh
This big bad boy is one of Litto’s fresh batch of Limited Edition Releases for 2009.  The other releases have given my stomach fits before, they have a history of being quite strong. The jet black wrapper in front of me does nothing curb my [...]

Wrapper: I’m assuming Ecuadorian…
Origin: Dominican Republic

Vitola:  Giant
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra           
Origin: Dominican Republic
This is one huge ass cigar.  It’s actually a little frightening as it is nine inches of Litto Gomez Ligero.  This is a special release cigar that I picked up at Capital City Cigars.
It has unbelievably shiny wrapper, and after I punched it and took a draw [...]

Size: 7″ x 54 
Vitola: Perfecto 
Wrapper: Oscuro w/ Ecuadorian tips 
Origin: Dominican Republic
 
Now this is a fun looking cigar.  It is a long thin perfecto with a cool wrapped pig-tail head and a Ecuadorian foot.  The rest of the cigar is comprised of a oily shiny Oscuro wrapper.
