About the Double Ligero
According to halfwheel, La Flor Dominicana introduced the Double Ligero in 2003. In its 2019 Lancero review, Cigar Aficionado traced that cigar’s binder and filler to one farm in La Canela, a hot, arid region it says makes the ligero even stronger.
Pairing and Storage
Pour something sturdy, like a peated single malt or an aged rum, as our cigar and drink pairing guide suggests for full-bodied smokes. Our humidor basics guide covers keeping the wrapper from cracking.
