IPCPR 2018: La Flor Dominicana
La Flor Dominicana had some new cigars at the show this year that featured a number of firsts for the company.
In fact, the company was showing off two brand-new cigars, both of which incorporate a new habano wrapper from Ecuador that has never been used by La Flor Dominicana before.
La Flor Dominicana Ligero Lancero
The first new cigar is the LFD Ligero Lancero, which just happens to also be the first time the single Ligero blend has been made in the 7 1/2 x 38 lancero vitola. The new cigar is packaged in boxes of 10 and features Dominican tobacco used in both the binder and filler.
- Wrapper: Ecuador (Habano)
- Binder: Dominican Republic
- Filler: Dominican Republic

La Flor Dominicana Ligero A
In addition, La Flor Dominicana will be shipping the LFD Ligero A, a 9 1/2 x 47 A viola that also uses the same habano wrapper from Ecuador that covers the Ligero Lancero. As with the lancero, the Ligero A incorporates Dominican tobacco in both the binder and filler and is packaged in boxes of 10.
- Wrapper: Ecuador (Habano)

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
