Since its debut in 2003, La Flor Dominicana’s Double Ligero line has been home to some of the company’s more unique vitolas – including Litto Gomez’s signature Chisel vitola, the 2011 release of the 8 1/2 x 60 Digger, and today’s cigar, the A. A somewhat traditional format that is seeing a bit of a resurgence, [...]

Today we will be taking a look at a cigar I have been putting off reviewing for a while now, the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Digger! The reason behind my procrastination is certainly not because it’s a La Flor Dominicana cigar but simply because of the sheer size of it! Coming in at a [...]

(Editor’s Note: There has been some confusion about the name of the cigar, and whether it is actually a “Double Ligero” blend, since it does not have the “Double Ligero” band on it…Well, we emailed Litto Gomez directly to ask that question, and he says that despite the band, these ARE the “Double Ligero” blend.

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t the top-selling LFD line and the notoriety has made it one of the most popular cigars in the domestic market. Litto Gomez’s love of Lanceros is no secret, so it should come as no shocked that like [...]

This week in cigar news: Pete Johnson. Seriously, it’s a relatively quiet week with the notable exception of Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson. When you remove the Havana Cellars news, it becomes shockingly silent. After the jump, a massive La Flor Dominicana, a new Nestor Miranda, the rerelease of a few cigars, including an ultra-rare Oliva, a [...]

There’s an interesting story behind these. They are made for someone who named “Digger” who frequents Olde Town Tobacconist in Fredericksburg, VA, nicknamed “Digger.” He loved the DL (Double Ligero) 700, but wished that was about two inches longer. Litto made a few DL700s, that were roughly nine inches long. I tried figuring out if [...]

State of the Brand: La Flor Dominicana

Editor’s Note: Unlike some of the prior “State of the Brand” features, this one features a lot of rumors. Other announcements that have been mentioned in prior editions have been more concrete. What’s below aren’t guesses, speculation or random thoughts – these are plans, although in the cigar industry things happen real quick. Personally, I’d [...]
