Description
The La Flor Dominicana Suave Máximo Special Soccer Edition brings together the refined craftsmanship of La Flor Dominicana with the brand’s tradition of sporting-themed limited releases. While the Suave Máximo itself is part of LFD’s classic Suave line—recently reimagined with updated blends and packaging—the Special Soccer Edition adds a collectible, event-driven twist that appeals to both cigar aficionados and sports fans. This is a limited-edition release in Canada and will sell out quickly!
Measuring 6 x 54 in a traditional Toro format, the Suave Máximo is known for its smooth, medium-bodied profile built around an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper and Dominican binder and filler. The smoking experience leans creamy and balanced, with notes of cedar, light spice, nuts, and subtle sweetness that evolve gradually throughout the burn. It is designed as a gentler expression of LFD’s typically bold portfolio, making it accessible while still retaining depth and complexity.
The Soccer Edition presentation elevates the cigar with themed banding and packaging tied to international football culture, reflecting LFD’s occasional use of limited regional or event releases similar to its Super Bowl “Football Edition” series. These releases are typically produced in small quantities, making them attractive to collectors. The Suave Máximo Special Soccer Edition is less about overpowering strength and more about elegance, balance, and occasion smoking. It’s a cigar that pairs well with celebratory moments—particularly those shared around the global passion for football—while showcasing LFD’s ability to merge tradition with modern cultural themes. Size: 6 x 54. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.

About La Flor Dominicana Cigars
La Flor Dominicana (or LFD) is a family-owned company started by Litto Gomez and Ines Lorenzo-Gomez in 1994. Before making cigars, Litto was in the jewelry business. A traumatic experience convinced him to switch careers—he was bound and robbed at gunpoint in his jewelry store. When he began his new path, his cigars were called Los Libertadores, and they were quite mild. Things have obviously changed.
Today, La Flor Dominicana is defined by its ligero, the strongest type of leaves found on the upper portion of a tobacco plant. It’s always been an industry term, but Gomez normalized the word and brought it to the cigar-smoking public with his Ligero and Double Ligero brands. Inside those cigars are binder and filler that he grows today on his farm in the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. According to Gomez, he couldn’t find the strong ligero tobacco he was looking for, so he decided to grow it himself.
Gomez’s desire for self-sufficiency has paid off and he’s become as much farmer as he is cigarmaker. He grows his tobacco in La Canela, a dry, hot microclimate within the Dominican Republic’s Cibao Valley. It’s precisely these conditions that make his tobacco stronger, spicier and more concentrated. Gomez runs La Flor with his wife, Ines, and two sons, Tony and Litto Jr.
