Review: Litto Gomez Diez Vintage 2012 Galego

In February of this year, La Flor Dominicana announced that it would be adding two additional sizes to the portfolio of the Litto Gomez Diez Vintage line. One was a Robusto Extra called Paisano and the other was Galego, a name that was a not new to the Litto Gomez line. The Galego was introduced [...]

Review: La Flor Dominicana Face Off by Christian Eiroa

In 2003, Christian Eiroa of Camacho and Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana had a competition, a $700,000 competition. It is known as Face Off and is one of the most famous limited editions of all time. It was simple: each sent the other tobacco from their own farm for about 50,000 cigars. Once the [...]

Review: La Flor Dominicana Double Claro No. 42

In late 2010, Litto Gomez added his name to the growing, yet still small, hat of manufacturers to produce a Candela cigar. Unlike recent initial launches from both Dion Giolito of Illusione (~hl~ Candela) and Andre Farkas of Viaje (WLP Candela), Gomez announced that his release would be regular production from the get go. (Giolito’s [...]

Review: Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch No. 4

The Litto Gomez Small Batch series is one of the more overlooked cigars on the market. While the cigar itself receives plenty of attention, by the time the fourth edition of the series was ready to be released, it seems that many had forgotten just how special of a product this was back when Litto [...]

Review: La Flor Dominicana Colorado Oscuro No. 2

For those of you that don’t know… One of the most anticipated releases at the IPCPR show in Las Vegas back in July was the La Flor Dominicana Colorado Oscuro, a “somewhat” limited release that would be sold in cabinets of 50 and are to be shipped only twice a year. Litto is on record as [...]

Review: La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Digger

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 [...]

Review: Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch No. 1

In 2006, Litto Gomez released the first of his “Small Batch” cigars. The last few years have seen a rise in the “small batch” and “vintage” concepts with each manufacturer claiming that for some reason or another their idea was novel. However, the majority of those manufacturers, while not necessarily copying Litto, certainly were following [...]

Review: Coronado Lancero (Serious Cigars Exclusive)

The last of the Litto Gomez creations that will be reviewed as part of Lancero50, Coronado by La Flor. In 2006, Cigar Aficionado named the Double Corona rendition of Litto’s limited production line the second best cigar of the year. Four and a half years later? Things are quiet. Well, there’s also a mystery. Today [...]

Review: La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Villano

As pointed out by Michelle Stewart of La Flor Dominicana, I’ve been on a Litto Gomez kick of late. I promise you, there won’t be a review of every Litto Lancero done (we aren’t even doing any of the Culebra Lanceros), but it wouldn’t be fair to do this without looking at the Air Bender. [...]

La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Oscuro Torpedo

(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.
