About La Flor Dominicana Double Claro

Double Claro entered regular production in 2012 as LFD's candela style offering, built with an Ecuadorian candela wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican filler. Despite its pale appearance it delivers a surprisingly firm profile—cream and sweetgrass up front that transition to earth and cedar before a peppered finish. The line is generally medium to medium full, noted for strong aroma and a good draw.

La Flor Dominicana Double Claro uses an Ecuadorian wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican filler; presented as visually light but intentionally built to deliver a surprising punch, it departs from traditional candela behavior.

Double Claro is LFD's visual curveball: a pale, candela like Ecuadorian wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican filler that deliberately refuses to be meek. The construction gives the cigar real structure and strength beneath the light leaf, so the smoke delivers more weight and presence than the color implies. The brand frames it as a contrast—appearance that invites curiosity, blend that delivers substance—so expect a firmer profile with underlying spice and backbone rather than the delicate, grassy notes associated with true candelas.
