La Nox features a dark and oily Brazilian Maduro wrapper, a Mexican San Andres binder, and Dominican long-fillers that create strong, yet beautifully balanced flavors of leather, licorice, cayenne pepper, and dark roast coffee. La Nox cigars develop with notes of dark cocoa, clove, and anise over a foundation of walnut and cedar throughout a full-bodied smoke. Strength starts medium-full, but it hits full by the middle point.
La Nox, Latin for the night, was blended by Litto's son, Tony Gomez and represents a departure from traditional La Flor Dominicana offerings. The cigar uses Dominican fillers from the company's La Canela farm and Dominican long-filler tobaccos cultivated on Gomez family estates. La Flor Dominicana claims that it is using its darkest Brazilian wrapper, showcasing the brand's commitment to bold experimentation while maintaining their reputation for quality craftsmanship.
The release is probably best known for its packaging: a round, black circular box that uses magnets instead of hinges with an image of the night sky, inspired by the artwork of Vincent van Gogh. Pairing suggestions include well-aged darker spirits, including rum, bourbon, and cognac, which would emphasize the cigar's complex flavor profile.
