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 Lancero (7 1/2 x 38) — $15 (Boxes of 10, $150)

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 been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. 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. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
