Description
The LFD Double Ligero DL-660 Maduro rolls the Double Ligero blend’s Dominican binder and filler, which the maker says are estate grown, into a compact 4 5/8 x 60 under a Maduro wrapper. La Flor Dominicana describes the line’s wrapper as a dark, sun-grown Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf.
What It Tastes Like
Holt’s gives the Maduro a thick, chewy texture with espresso bean, earth and black pepper up front and black cherry and anise beneath. Neptune Cigar’s listing for this exact DL-660 Maduro points to spice, wood and pepper. Cigar Aficionado ratings exist for other Double Ligero sizes, but we found none we could verify for the 660 in Maduro, so this page cites no score.
Who It’s For
- Veterans of strong cigars looking for a dense, short after-dinner smoke.
- Fans of short, fat formats under five inches.
- Maduro loyalists who want espresso and dark-fruit tones over the Natural’s leather.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Estate-grown Dominican tobacco inside, per the maker
- Espresso, earth and cherry notes, per Holt’s
- Same size also made with the Natural wrapper
Cons
- Its full strength may overwhelm newer smokers
- The 60 ring feels bulky if you prefer slim cigars
About the Double Ligero
La Flor Dominicana’s own tagline for Double Ligero is “the empire cigar.” The company says it set up its own farm in La Canela, Dominican Republic, to grow the tobacco it rolls, and its Double Ligero page calls this blend’s binder and filler estate grown.
Pairing and Storage
The espresso side of this Maduro sits well next to a barrel-aged Old Fashioned, one of the full-strength matches in our drink pairing guide.
