La Flor Dominicana Reintroducing Coronado at IPCPR
There was always a hearty amount of praise for the Coronado by La Flor line, but with a band that didn’t feature the LFD logo, sales struggled to merit keeping it around. After being officially discontinued about 18 months ago, it seemed this line would be gone for good. But fans of the line have reason to rejoice as the company has announced that Coronado is coming back with a new look and name this summer.
Now known as the La Flor Dominicana Coronado, the blend stays the same, using a Nicaraguan sun grown habano wrapper with the binder and filler coming completely from the Estancia La Flor de Palma in La Canela, Dominican Republic.
It will be released in five sizes, all in 18-count boxes: Corona Especial (5 7/8 x 47, MSRP $8.80), Toro (6 x 52, $9.30), Double Corona (7 x 50, $9.30), Double Toro (7 x 54, $9.80) and Corona Gorda (7 x 60, $10.50).
Shipping is expected to begin within 45 days of the trade show, which would have the cigars on shelves possibly as early as the end of August.

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.
