LFD “The Digger” Goes Into Full Production

Litto Gomez normally keeps news pretty close, but it seems like he’s already ready to go public with some of La Flor Dominicana’s IPCPR plans. The La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero “The Digger”, a cigar released in limited quantities to a hundred accounts in April will be made into a regular production cigar. The 8 1/2 x 60 continues the trend of cigars getting bigger. With Sam Leccia’s Debut line, it seems there is at least some movement to push beyond the 6 x 60 format and venture into even larger formats, something historically reserved for lower-priced brands in catalogs. The cigars are being rolled currently at Tabacalera La Flor S.A. and will be offered to accounts in Las Vegas at the IPCPR trade show in mid-July.
