The La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Robusto Crystal is a strong, robust cigar with an oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and a rich blend of Dominican tobaccos. 

First Third
The high ligero content is instantly apparent in the first puffs, which are powerful and full-bodied.
Core Notes: The beginning is dominated by a strong cedar woodiness, black pepper, and spice.
Early Impressions: This initial intensity soon gives way to a robust, earthy foundation with a mineral finish and traces of dry chocolate. The retrohale has a peppery, biting taste.

The middle third
A fuller, more complex character emerges as the cigar burns into the second third, as the initial strong spice mellows a little.
Core Notes: Dark-roasted coffee and rich espresso bean are dominant, and the earthiness intensifies.
Developing Flavours: A faint, understated sweetness reminiscent of dried fruit or molasses starts to emerge, along with hints of dark chocolate and leather. As it blends into a leathery finish, the pepper becomes less noticeable.

The Last Third
The tastes reach their peak intensity in the last third, making for a strong and impactful finish.
Core Notes: Earth, leather, and a woodiness reminiscent of burnt oak or mesquite dominate the profile.
Long-lasting Impressions: A long, full-bodied finish is accompanied by a return of spice and an intensification of the dark chocolate and coffee aromas. This is when the strength peaks, necessitating careful control to prevent harshness.
