La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull

HISTORY

Over the years, they have developed a portfolio of quality blends, innovative shapes and sizes which fulfil the ever-changing needs of today’s cigar smokers.

Their reputation for high levels of consistency is because they personally supervise every stage of their production, from the farming of their tobacco at their farm in La Canela, to the art of manufacturing in their modern factory. This vertical integration is their guarantee.

The La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull was rated 2016 No. 1 Cigar by Cigar Aficionado with an impressive 96/100. This marks the first time that LFD have been awarded Cigar of the Year.

ANDALUSIAN BULL

The La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull is a truly new concept within the La Flor Dominicana’s portfolio of fine cigars. The size is based on an old cigar mould that Litto Gomez found in Belgium.

Naming it after Andalusia was a nod to Spain, the country where Litto Gomez was born, and the silhouette of a matador on the band represents the celebrated history of the sport of bullfighting in Andalusia.

The La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull was awarded 2016 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado, and this marks the first time that La Flor Dominicana have received this accolade.

Litto Gomez and his son, Tony, collaborated on the cigar and spent a fair amount of time fine-tuning the blend. The result is a cigar that is as intriguing in flavour as it is in appearance.

First impressions are bold and savoury with strong notes of hickory and leather, but it continues to take on a complex spiciness of saffron and cumin as well as a slight tangy note that brings the strength and spice together - and it only gets better with every puff!
