• Brands
  La Flor Dominicana Oro

  La Flor Dominicana Oro line is, according to La Flor Dominicana owner Litto Gomez, a Coronado blend that uses a Nicaraguan Habano Sun Grown wrapper from the higher primings of the plant, resulting in a cigar that has more flavor and strength. The LFD's Oro binder and fillers are carefully grown in their Dominican Republic farm of La Canela. The wrapper is a deep medium brown, veiny leaf with a sweet aroma, and the cigar delivers a spicy punch in the first few puffs and mellows to a pleasant flavor and long finish.

• 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.

  The main tobacco region in the Dominican Republic is the Cibao valley in the northern part of the island. In the 60s, Cuban seeds were brought here by exiled Cuban cigar makers and found that they grew exceptional cigar tobacco, called Piloto Cubano. The native Dominican tobacco, called Olor, is milder than Piloto Cubano yet more aromatic. The first company to grow Dominican tobacco for cigar wrapper was Tabacalera Arturo Fuente in 1995.
• Cigar Binder

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.
