Rated No1 Cigar of the Year 2016 by Cigar Aficionado
La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull was blended by Litto Gomez as a personal project, released in limited quantities and rolled in an uncommon figurado format. It delivers black pepper, dark cocoa, espresso, earth, leather, and cedar, with the tapered shape concentrating the opening flavours before broadening into a deeper, heavier core. The smoke develops steadily, maintaining structure and intensity as the profile darkens through the middle. Construction supports a slow, deliberate burn, allowing the flavours to remain defined to the end. The finish is long and firm, leaving cocoa, leather, and pepper on the palate. It pairs naturally with espresso, strong black coffee, or a well-aged dark rum enjoyed neat.

La Flor Dominicana:
LA Flor Dominicana was founded in 1996 by master blender Litto Gomez, one of the most influential and outspoken figures in modern cigar making. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in the United States, Gomez returned to his homeland with a clear vision: to produce distinctive, uncompromising cigars driven by power, flavour, and individuality—rather than mass appeal.
Establishing La Flor Dominicana’s factory and tobacco farms in the Dominican Republic, Gomez took full control of the cigar-making process, cultivating his own tobaccos and pushing the boundaries of strength and blending. At a time when many Dominican cigars were known for mildness, La Flor Dominicana stood apart for its bold, full-bodied profile—most famously with lines such as Double Ligero and Andalusian Bull. That bold philosophy was validated in 2016 when Andalusian Bull was named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado.
