True cigar aficionados have heard of the name Alonso Menendez being mentioned in cigar lounges from time to time. Menendez was the cigar genius who created the original Montecristo and H. Upmann brands in Cuba back in the day. Felix Menendez, Alonso’s son, has continued his father’s practice of crafting legendary premium cigars by establishing Dona Flor Cigars in Brazil. A true Brazilian puro, the Dona Flor Tradicional Blend has Mata Fina wrapper that is draped over a Mata Fina binder, which contains Mata Fina and Mata Norte fillers. The Dona Flor Tradicional Blend is a medium to full strength cigar that offers up an excellent flavor profile that must be experienced to be believed.
