Bold Dominican Cigars With a Patent to Prove It
Buy La Flor Dominicana cigars in the UK for full-bodied Dominican tobacco with genuine boutique credentials: founded in 1996 by Litto Gomez and Ines Lorenzo, La Flor Dominicana holds the only cigar shape patent in the industry, for its distinctive chisel-cut foot.
Gomez started out growing his own binder and filler leaf outside Tamboril before expanding into wrapper cultivation, and that hands-on approach to tobacco is still central to the brand. La Flor Dominicana cigars tend to be fuller in body than most Dominican blends, built with a bolder ligero-forward style rather than the smoother, creamier profile the country is best known for.
The brand is also known for the Chisel, a wide, tapered shape unique to La Flor Dominicana and the only cigar format ever granted its own patent. It's a good illustration of how the brand approaches cigars generally: technical, deliberate, and unafraid to do things differently from the rest of the Dominican Republic.
At Toro Puro, we stock La Flor Dominicana for smokers who want Dominican provenance without the usual mildness, including the Andalusian Bull, one of the brand's larger, more indulgent formats. It rewards a slower pace and a bit of patience.
If you're used to smoother Dominican cigars and want to try something with more weight, this is a good place to start, or browse our wider Full Strength Cigars range for other bold options across origins. Explore the collection below.
