Factory Press is heading to stores.

The 2017 version of the La Flor Dominican Factory Press is finally arriving at retailers nationwide. The cigar, which La Flor just refers to as Factory Press measures 6 1/2 x 58. It uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and Dominican fillers.

Factory press is noted for its extreme box-press, something that is developed in the factory based on the way its packaged.

Of note, this is actually the seventh Factory Press, most of which have had names like Factory Press II, Factory Press III or Factory Press Limitado.

The original Factory Press, which was released in 2005, measured a similar 6 1/2 x 50 though was a different blend.

Pricing is set at $15.10 per cigar, or $1,812 per box of 120.
