La Flor Dominicana Ligero #400

Construction, draw, and burn were all excellent. It had

nice underlying flavors, that unfortunately, never came to the front. This made it fairly bland, but not really

in a bad way, if that makes any sense. I'll try another.

Fonseca Sun Grown Cedar #2

Construction, draw, and burn were, as above, all excellent. This started out with great flavors, that were soon overtaken by an overriding sour/bitterness

that coated my tongue. The good flavors stayed, but were pushed to the background. I'll give one more a try.

La Aurora Robusto Cameroon

These are a go-to. I've found all of La Aurora's products to be very well constructed, with great draw and burn characteristics. Medium body with nice flavor.

Fuente Don Carlos #2

Construction and burn were excellent. Draw was just on the tight side of same. As for flavor....... This is without question one of the best cigars I've ever had.

The flavor was mouth coating.... Full of great flavors without being overpowering, or harsh. What really amazed me was how cool the smoke was. When my arm grows back, I'll try another, but if anything like the first, I could have nothing but these in the humidor.

I think you're right about the Fonsecas! But I do have one more. I'll leave it alone for a while, and see what happens.
