Agree...that aromatic fruity-floral rich flavor and aroma only comes from the Cuban tobaccos.

Dustin, you hit the nails on the head. I try to be little more diplomatic. I try not to argue about the issue. It requires some time and smoking experience to understand the differences.

Your reviews tend to rave on Cuban smokes. Is there a bad Cuban you could review for us. Just so we can get a not lopsided Cuban promoter viewpoint. I know that's what you like rip, but give me a bad Cuban review. Not quintero, something bad.
i haven't had many bad Cubans really. I've had some that had construction issues, too young, or I didn't like the profile. But I've yet to have one that I'd call a bad smoke, while I've had plenty of bad smokes from other regions.
i even like some of the short filler stuff. Even though they burn funky, they still have a decent finish.
Hi Shawn, This is a great cigar. It is a well balanced and complex smoke with intense flavors and aroma. However, I do not think it is as complex as Behike or 1966, specially 1966. Smoke one now so you can compare the changes in complexity and the mellowness in the future. Please share your opinion with us. I am very curious to know.
Thanks Tony. You do need a warmer summer day with two plus hours to smoke this beauty. Hey, thanks again for the cigar. I will also review the one smokes with Maduro soon.

Wow, great review Rip! Can't wait for it to get warmer outside so I can fire up another one!

Rip. How were the Factory Press I, II, IIIs? I was reading that the blend is different from one series to the next.
Litto Gomez seems to know how to balance strength and flavor so that neither is overpowering; skating on the edge of smooth to bring some great cigars. They also seem consistent. Quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for the review of these Salomon's which I haven't tried.

Hi Peter, you are correct, La Flor Dominicana Factory Press series cigars comes with different blends. The no. I comes with Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Dominican Sumatran binder and Dominican Corojo fillers, II with same wrapper, binder and fillers, III comes with Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Dominican fillers, IV comes with Mexican San Andres Maduro Wrapper, Ecuadorian binder and Dominican fillers, V comes with Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Dominican fillers. Though wrappers and binders are different but the fillers are always aged Dominican. The flat and wide boxed press cigars are really enjoyable smoke. They are very good but overpriced. Here is a picture of no IV. I will review it someday.
Your welcome Eric. Not all the LFD cigars are great but most of them are well balanced with good complex flavors, aroma and finish.

Glad you liked it, I have been very impressed with the Daruma. The Lancero is also amazing, along with the petite robusto. I've had all three and honestly it is hard to say which one I like best. Like the OSOK, this is another hit for me from Booth. I'm not sure which one I will box buy honestly, need to smoke a few more lancero before I make my mind up. Great review as always, this one was on my top 12 of 2012 list.

+1 on the lancero. The petite robusto punched me in the face a little.

Rip, was that the original salomon or the re-released? I picked up one of the re-released a couple of weekends ago at a local shop. I've been waiting for a nice bit of weather to smoke it. I have a couple boxes of the 1st release along with the maduro, I love these cigars. I am hoping the re-release is as good. Well actually I don't as I don't need another box to get.

Dustin, I really enjoyed it. Now I am confused which size to buy lol. I think I also want one box in my collection. I agree with you, Daruma is one of the top 2012 release. I appreciate your nice comments and thanks again for the great smoke!

honesty...I think I'm leaning towards the Churchill. I still have a few lancero left before I decide, but te Churchill has the best complexity imo
