The La Flor Dominicana Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch 4 delivers a full-bodied Dominican experience in its 5½"×52 parejo format. Part of LFD's limited annual Small Batch series, this box-pressed toro uses four-year-aged tobacco from the brand's La Canela farm. At $2,494.80 for a box of 105 sticks, it's a bold statement piece for serious enthusiasts rather than casual smokers.
The dark chocolate wrapper unleashes espresso grounds and 85% dark cocoa notes with thick smoke output. A distinctive mineral tang - signature of Navarrete soil - emerges through the pepper-heavy retrohale.
Intensity builds with wet clay earthiness and hickory smoke. The Andullo fermentation process shows through leathery undertones and cinnamon stick aromas. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the dense roll.
Caramelized nuts and charred oak dominate as nicotine strength peaks. Experienced smokers will appreciate the black currant aftertaste, though many stop at 70% to avoid overwhelming tar buildup.
Grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil, the Pelo de Oro wrapper undergoes 12-month Andullo bale fermentation in palmwood barrels. LFD's vertical integration - from seed to cigar - ensures consistency across limited annual batches of 2,000-3,000 boxes worldwide.
