This is probably one of the most underappreciated mild to medium-bodied cigars around.

La Flor Dominicana Air Bender is one of this company’s highest rated and most popular cigars.
La Flor Dominicana describes this truly amazing cigar best. “A full bodied blend of our estate grown Dominican filler and binder in a gorgeous Habano wrapper. A smoking experience that will keep you fastened to your chair asking for more! A smooth and refined flavorful experience.”
With a Cigar Aficionado rating of 94 and becoming a top cigar of the year, everyone knew this was a winner! Their description still rings true over a dozen years later. “Bold from the very first puff, the cigar is strong and meaty, full of spice and coffee notes, with a finish reminiscent of a whiskey barrel. Gomez’s cigars are renowned for power and spice, and the Air Bender is no exception.”

This edition is probably one of the best examples of Erik Espinosa’s blending abilities. Over the years since this style was introduced it never received less than a 90 rating. As he continued to refine the “secret” blend, it got even better! Achieving 93 points along with becoming a top 25 cigar for 2020 was the result. This smooth, well-balanced stick yields a semi-sweet and slightly spicy taste with a medium body that increases in strength just a bit as you move along.
