The second release in the Balmoral Serie Signaturas will come from La Flor Dominicana.

Royal Agio Cigars has announced that the Balmoral Serie Signaturas Paso Doble is a new three-size line created by Boris Wintermans, ceo of Royal Agio, and Litto Gomez, co-founder of La Flor Dominicana. The blend uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican fillers, the latter of which are from Gomez’s farms.

  • Balmoral Serie Signaturas Paso Doble Robusto (5 3/4 x 50) — $11.25 (Box of 10, $112.50)
  • Balmoral Serie Signaturas Paso Doble Gran Toro (6 1/4 x 54) — $12 (Box of 10, $120)
  • Balmoral Serie Signaturas Paso Doble Brindis (7 x 55) — $16.50 (Box of 10, $165)

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Litto’s work and the fact that, like me, he is obsessively passionate about pushing the boundaries of what can be discovered in premium cigar blending,” said Wintermans in a press release. “For this special collaboration project, we placed all of our respective, coveted tobaccos on the table and went to work exploring a wide range of unique and exciting blending possibilities, never really knowing the final outcome. I am proud to say that, in the end, we turned a blank cigar canvas into a one-of-a-kind, inspiring discovery in cigar blending for cigar lovers everywhere to enjoy.”

Paso Doble will debut at the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, which begins June 29 in Las Vegas, and ship to retailers in July.
