CIGAR BISTRO Review
La Floridita Limited
Vital Statistics:
Country: Handmade, Honduras
Size: Robusto – 5 x 50
Wrapper: Maduro
Binder: Indonesian
Filler: Nicaraguan and Mexico
Strength: Full
The Feel: The La Floridita Limited is very firm and solid to the touch. The wrapper is rich, dark with that special oily feel that promises a good Maduro smoke.
The Smell: Before lighting, La Floridita is heavenly for those of us who like a heavy tobacco smell. After it was lit, La Floridita is rich and bold, almost from the moment it’s lit.
The Cap: The cap was firmly attached and cut easily.
The Draw: The draw of this La Floridita was excellent for the entire smoke.
La Floridita Limited NOTES:
Regular readers know that I prefer heavier tasting, heavier smoking cigars, so La Floridita Limited was exactly what I look for in a rich, heavy, full cigar smoke.
It was enjoyable even before I lit it. The aroma made me want to light up, but I made sure to put that off a few minutes to savor it. The feel of a good Maduro wrapper, ummmmm….
The La Flordita didn’t disappoint.
The heavy, rich tobacco aroma surrounded me after lighting and I enjoyed the smoke all of the way through. It’s the kind of smoke that’s better if you take your time with it; rolling the smoke in your mouth, feeling and smelling the aromas as breathe it out.
MORE on La Floridita Limited Cigars:
La Floridita Limited Edition Edition cigars present a more refined blend of our bestselling La Floridita bundles. Nestor Plasencia created these robust cigars using Nicaraguan and Mexican longfillers with an Indonesian binder, then rolled them in a dark, oily Brazilian Mata Fina. The result is a bold, aromatic, earthy smoke laced with sweet ‘n spicy complexities on the finish. If you seek a hearty, flavorful premium, this cigar is sure to please at a price that will leave you wondering how we did it.
FINAL VERDICT:
The La Floridita Robusto was exactly what you’re looking for if what you’re looking for is a full-flavored cigar. When you’re done smoking it, there will be no questions about whether or not you smoked a real cigar or one of those designer imitations.
FINAL CIGAR BISTRO SCORE:
Intangibles (Feel, Heft, Smell, Cap): 9.5
Wrapper: 9.5
Draw: 9.5
Flavor: 9
Aroma while Smoking: 9
Smoking Experience: 9
Value: 9.0
Total: 64.5/70
Make no mistake, even for someone who enjoys a heavy smoke, the La Floridita is not a cigar to be smoked regularly throughout the day. It’s more of that treat that you give yourself in the evening after smoking a mixture of lighter cigars. I found it not only a great smoke, but a good value. I can recommend it to even the pickiest of cigar aficionados.
