La Flor Dominicana Follows Up Chapter One with Capitulo II
Following up on last year’s Chapter One, La Flor Dominicana will be unveiling Capitulo II at the 2014 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show that kicks off on July 19.
Capitulo II, which is Spanish for chapter two, is a 6 1/2 x 58 box-pressed chisel that uses a Nicaraguan colorado wrapper on top of an Ecuadorian habano binder and filler of Dominican tobacco. It will come in ten-count boxes with an MSRP of $10.70 per cigar and $107.00 per box and like its predecessor is a limited edition, though production limits have not been announced. The LFD Chapter One was limited to 100,000 cigars split into 10,000 ten-count boxes.
The La Flor Dominicana Chapter One was released at last year’s trade show, and was the first cigar blended by Antonio Gomez, the son of Litto Gomez. Details about who created the blend for Capitulo II have not been disclosed yet, nor has a shipping date been announced yet.
Update (July 16, 2014)–Added a new picture and clarified the binder and filler after La Flor Dominicana sent out a press release about the Capitulo II.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
