About La Flor Dominicana Cigars
La Flor Dominicana 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.
