The La Flor Dominicana 1994: Tasting Notes From First Light to Last Third
The cigar feels exceptionally solid in the hand, distinguished by a visible ring of rich ligero tobacco around the foot. The signature band is intricately embossed with tobacco leaf flowers, complementing a wrapper that boasts a gorgeous glossy sheen. Crafted to commemorate Litto Gomez’s entry into the cigar industry in 1994, this blend utilizes estate-grown Dominican tobaccos from the La Canela farm wrapped in a dark Mexican San Andrés leaf.
Delivering a full-flavored, medium-to-full-bodied experience, the 1994 offers a harmonious balance between sweetness and spicy intensity, proving why LFD remains a benchmark for Dominican craftsmanship.

The Opening Notes & First Third
The initial draw brings smooth cedar and rich leather, setting a deeply flavorful base. Subtle accents of spicy pepper and sweet brown sugar complement each other smoothly, creating an inviting opening. The smoke carries a bready sweetness right from the start, accompanied by a gentle hint of spice on the palate that stays softly in the background.
As the burn progresses through the first third, rich notes of molasses and dark chocolate come into focus. On the retrohale, distinct woodsy tones and black pepper give the profile a sharper, recognizable structure. The ash holds firm and straight, demonstrating flawless construction and a razor-sharp burn line.
The Second Third
Entering the second third, a bright touch of orange citrus emerges to complement the lingering molasses aroma. Halfway through, the molasses subtly recedes, making way for a prominent core of bittersweet dark chocolate. As the midpoint passes, the strength builds steadily into a solid medium-to-full body.
The Final Third & Finish
In the final third, warming spices intensify. Dark chocolate remains the central note all the way through to the finish, balanced by deep earthiness and black pepper. The cigar reaches a powerful peak, concluding with a satisfying, bittersweet aftertaste.
