Serie R Natural consists of a proprietary blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Binding this special tobacco is the vintage Nicaraguan binder. The big difference here is the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.
Stogie Review enjoyed it and describe it well. “A medium to full bodied cigar with flavors of dark, rich coffee, licorice and a nice tobacco taste.” Cigar Aficionado gives it a thumbs up too with a respectable rating of 92. They say it best. “Rich in color with an oily wrapper and superbly crafted cap, this short robusto draws and burns evenly. Sweet woods and floral notes are balanced by spices, earth and hints of dried orange peel.”
Those of us that enjoy Serie R know it has balance and a slow smooth burn. The bonus is the unmistakable Cuban style smoking experience that can’t be beat.

La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Maduro is as equally loved as the original edition.
With attention to detail, the Air Bender Maduro contains the same vintage blend with one big exception. The dark and oily Brazilian Habano wrapper gives this version a slightly different body and taste. Cigar Aficionado rates it a respectable 90. Their description is short and to the point. “Strong, earthy and peppery, this cigar imparts a spicy smoke, but there are also notes of dark toast, espresso and dried fruit. The draw and burn remain even.”
No doubt this maduro’s overall body and complexity is still full with big bold flavors. While this cigar may have taken it’s time developing, it was worth the wait. That is to say, this Air Bender is another winner for Litto Gomez and his great company. If you like the original, you owe it to your palate to try these.

Cigar Authority rates this kinder gentler blend a more than respectable 92!
