Litto Gomez Deiz
Wrapper: Dominican
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Made In: Dominican Republic
Size: Cubano – 5×50
Price: About $9.95 per single
Appearance and Construction: An average looking cigar with a smooth feeling, light brown colored wrapper. There are a few moderate sized veins in the wrapper but they should not be a problem. The cigar seems packed very well with tobacco and there are no noticeable defects with the cigar.
Smoking Characteristics: The cigar has a nice draw with some resistance that produces an average amount of smoke. The burn was even with no touch ups needed and the ash held well but was farily flaky. The body of this cigar stars off medium to full but mellows down though the cigar and dips down to the lower end of the medium spectrum. The strength of this cigar is medium to full.
Flavor: The Litto Gomez Deiz has a nice woody core with some floral notes, black pepper and a bit of leather. Some may think this cigar is a bit dry on the palate but there is just enough sweetness on this cigar to balance things out a bit. As the cigar progresses, the pepper backs down and is thrown in the background. Other than that there are no major changes throughout the cigar.
Final Thoughts: When all is said and done I did enjoy this cigar. The flavor profile was a nice change of pace but I got a little bored with it. For a $10 cigar and the fact that this cigar gets a lot of attention, I was expecting there to be a little more complexity and a little more of a roller coaster ride but there was none to be had. I can however see this as a cigar that a medium bodied smoker would enjoy.

Interesting review. I find a bit more body and lots more complexity to this smoke than you did. Maybe you should revist this, for I find this a much improved edition of a Dominican puro over the other Dominican puro that brags about their DR plantation grown wrappers.
