I never got either box, but yesterday I came across a local that just put out a box of the La Flor de Cano (interestingly enough it's the only local where I've also seen the Flor de Caney). I picked one up and smoked it this afternoon. It's about 4-4 1/2", and a fat club shape. The wrapper was typical Cameroon, slick with tons of micro-sized veins. Construction looked dang near perfect, with the draw and burn reflecting this observation. The open foot lit quite easily and stayed arrow straight the entire time. The ash was smooth and white inside and out with no flaking, and wouldn't let go. Two thirds of the way down, I finally flicked it to get the ash off, and it stayed together when it hit the pavement. The power was mostly mild, but had just enough kick by the end to be satisying. The flavor had elements of other Cameroons but was light and transient. I think I would have preferred this one to be smoked indoors (it didn't help that the city of Kirkland had just layed fresh bark next to the cafe patio... bleah). I don't usually comment on general aroma, but this one was very nice (again recommending it as an indoor smoke). After all that though, I probably won't smoke another. Not because I didn't like it, but because it wasn't spectacular enough to warrant local prices, and my old source no longer has the bouquets (I think these are some time out of production). I would consider another size, maybe a thin one that showcases the wrapper a little more prominantly.
