LFD Petit La Nox

La Flor Dominicana Petit La Nox Cigar Review

Every Saturday after The Cigar Authority airs from 12 Noon to 2pm (eastern) we feature a full review of a cigar smoked on the show. This week that cigar is the Petit LFD La Nox.

Cigar: La Flor Dominicana La Nox
Wrapper Brazil Cubra
Binder: San Andres Mexico
Filler: Dominican Republic (including Pelo de Oro)
Length: 5″
Ring Gauge: 40
Size: Petit

The Look: Packaged in 50 count boxes, the cigars come without cellophane in a black slide top cabinet box. The 5 x 50 Petit band is scaled down from the original Toro release so it fits the smaller version of the La Nox. There is an abundance of oils on the perfect wrapper.

The Notes: Prior to lighting the cigar there is an earthy aroma off the wrapper with a touch of cedar off the foot. The cold draw of the cigar has a sweetness to it along with paprika like spice and a touch of cedar. It’s easy to light the small cigar and the first note experienced is

Smoking into the first third of the La Nox Petit, there is a earthy component with tons of spice to begin. About a half-inch in the cigar shows signs of complexity with hints of  cocoa and cedar. The retrohale of the cigar has a mocha like quality and the La Nox Petit has a prolonged leathery finish.

The second third of the cigar develops an espresso note that becomes the core flavor. There is still a touch of cocoa that is more along the lines of mocha on the retrohale and some red pepper. The cigar which is really flavorful has a leathery finish that is long and savory.

The last third of the La Flor Dominicana Petit La Nox hints of cedar, nuts and espresso. The finish of the cigar sees the profile transition from leather to cedar with an abundance of black pepper.

The Finish: While this cigar might be Petit in stature and name, it is BIG on flavor. The La Flor Dominicana La Nox Petit is every bit as good as the original. For a little cigar the Petit does not live up to its name as it is big on flavor and strength.

Score: 93
Price: $7.59 / $332.99 (Box of 50)
