After soft-launching at select events in June, the La Flor Dominicana 30 Years humidors are beginning to arrive at stores.
Inside each humidor are 60 limited edition cigars made in the company’s trademarked Chisel vitola, a 6 1/2 x 58 box-pressed vitola that has a very unique taper. Blend-wise, they use an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over an aged binder from Cotuí, Dominican Republic and fillers from the company’s farm in La Canela, Dominicana Republic.
The MSRP is set at $30 per cigar and production is limited to 2,000 humidors that contain 60 cigars.
These humidors are made at the Gomez family’s relatively new box factory. Inside the humidor is the company’s classic ad depicting Litto and Ines Gomez—the company’s founders—on horses. The bands depict a flowering tobacco ban, a nod to the bands that the company used in its early days.
Tony Gomez told halfwheel that the company is releasing the cigars in “very small batches.”
While this is the 30th anniversary of the couple’s time in the cigar business, it’s actually not the 30th anniversary of La Flor Dominicana, which was founded in 1996. The couple’s first foray into the cigar business was with a brand called Los Libertadores, which was launched in 1994. The two had a dispute with their partner in that company, so they left and started La Flor Dominicana.
