La Flor Dominicana Chapter I Chisel 6"1/2 * 58

La Flor Dominicana Chapter I is the first cigar blended by Litto Gomez's son, Antonio Gomez. The blend uses a Brazilian wrapper chosen for its very dark, rich flavor, a Connecticut binder that adds strength and chocolate notes, and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic. Chapter One is a box pressed "Chisel" shape with a very attractive, dark wrapper. The flavors are peppery, earthy and rich. La Flor Dominicana recommends pinching the Chisel head instead of cutting it.

• Cigar Shape
  Torpedo

  The Torpedo was traditionally a fat cigar with two closed, tapered ends. Today, it is any cigar with a cut foot and straight body which tapers to a closed, pointed head.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

  This cigar is 6"1/2 inches long, or 165.1 mm.
• Origin
  Dominican Republic

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Brazilian

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Brazil grows tobacco from North to South. The East Central State of Bahia is an important cigar tobacco producer. The growing area is about 100 miles west of the state capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active port on the Atlantic Coast. The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a production around the city of Arapiraca where maduro wrappers are grown.
• Cigar Binder
  Connecticut

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
  Connecticut tobacco is golden brown with a mild to medium flavor. It is mainly grown under shade in the Connecticut River Valley or sun grown in Ecuador.
• Cigar Filler
  Dominican Republic

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
