La Flor Dominicana Slowly Rolling Out 30th Anniversary Cigar

Celebratory smoke, packed in elaborate humidors, begins a gradual journey to retail

In 1994, Litto Gomez and Ines Lorenzo-Gomez began making and selling cigars. Now, they are marking 30 years in the business with a celebratory LFD 30 Years, which has begun to slowly make its way to some cigar shops. 

A handful of retailers have received the cigars, most of them in the Miami area, where La Flor makes its U.S. headquarters. In addition, there have been a few events celebrating (and selling) the cigar, including one thrown last week in Greenwich, Connecticut, by Tobacconist of Greenwich.

“The thing that’s holding back the shipments are the humidors,” Litto Gomez told Cigar Aficionado at the Greenwich cigar dinner. The humidors are elaborate, bright and yellow with polished finishes, the outside made to look like the Tamboril factory where La Flor Dominicana cigars are made. The inside of the lid features an image of Litto and Ines on horseback in one of their tobacco fields.

LFD 30 Years

The humidors are made in the Dominican Republic at La Flor Dominicana’s box factory. Each contains 60 Chisel-shaped anniversary cigars, La Flor’s distinctive, wedge-shape figurado. They are gently pressed smokes that measure 6 1/2 inches long by 58 ring gauge, wear three bands, each bordered in golden leaves (including a footband marked 30 years) with a resplendent pink tobacco flower in the middle of the main band—the symbol of the company, whose name translates to “the Dominican flower.” 

The blend has some similarities to other La Flor cigars, along with something different, an aged binder leaf from Cotui, Dominican Republic. The filler blend is from La Flor’s tobacco farm in La Canela, Dominican Republic, and the wrapper is Ecuador Sumatra. 

“The rest will slowly roll out within six months,” said Ines Lorenzo-Gomez. “We’re trying to allocate as best we can.”

The cigars have a suggested retail price of $30 apiece, and the complete humidor retails for $1,800. Look for a review of the smokes in Cigar Insider later this year when they reach more tobacconists.
