NEW CIGAR!!!

The 2016 Cigar Aficionado Magazine “Cigar Of The Year” has arrived!

Welcome the 96 rated La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull!

As
described by CA Mag, “An unusual, perhaps unfamiliar cigar that gleams
with distinction but doesn’t have much market history, as it only came
out last summer. The wrapper is a striking hue somewhere between red and
brown and the beautiful shape is all curves and tapers. Salomones, as
they’re known in cigar factories, are far from an easy cigar to craft.
Look closely at the band, which is a shade of emerald green, and you see
the letters “LFD”: La Flor Dominicana. The cigar is called the
Andalusian Bull, and nothing about it is typical.

The La Flor
Dominicana Andalusian Bull is a truly new concept within La Flor’s
portfolio of fine cigars. The size is based on that of an old cigar mold
that Gomez found in Belgium. Naming it after Andalusia was a nod to
Spain, the country where Gomez was born. And the silhouette of a matador
on the band represents the celebrated history of the sport of
bullfighting in Andalusia. That eye-catching shade of green is similar
to that found on the Andalusian flag. But there’s more to decode. The
font on the band is based on Pablo Picasso’s handwriting—he loved to
paint bulls—and the scrollwork reflects patterns found on a
bullfighter’s uniform.

Gomez and his son Tony collaborated on the
cigar and spent a fair amount of time fine-tuning the blend. The result
was a cigar as intriguing in flavor as it is in appearance. It’s a
combination of Corojo-seed Ecuador Habano wrapper on a blend that
consists primarily of Dominican Criollo ’98 tobacco, a hybrid and a bit
of Pelo d’Oro too.”

This is the first COTY award for LFD, likely not the last.
