Picture if you will, the year was 1994 and the premium cigar boom of the 90s was starting to gain momentum. Lito Gomez and his wife Ines had a very successful jewelry business that catered to high-end clientele. To the shock of their families, they announced they were leaving the jewelry industry to pursue their passion of producing premium cigars in the Dominican Republic. It took them 2 full years to find their footing and launch the La Flor Dominicana brand, but an instant star was born. The couple has been on a roll and they haven’t looked back at the jewelry business since. What made and continues to make the La Flor brand special is that they are known for growing exceptional tobaccos in the Dominican Republic, and producing high quality cigars with outstanding flavor.
The La Flor Dominicana La Nox is a blend created by Lito Gomez’s son, Tony Gomez. It’s named La Nox (the night) as the wrapper leaf reminded him of the night sky above the family’s tobacco farms in La Canela. It’s a dark, inky looking wrapper leaf from Brazil that Tony Gomez says is the darkest wrapper he’s ever seen from Brazil. For the filler core, he selected Dominican tobaccos grown on LFD farms, and the binder is a Mexican San Andres leaf. Tasting notes include flavors of coffee, dark chocolate, and cedar along with hints of pepper, sweet cream, and leather. It’s a rather interesting blend. What makes it so special is that it’s crafted to LFD’s exacting standards and it is completely different from anything else in the La Flor Dominicana portfolio (in a very good way).
