Discover the World of La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Cigars

La Flor Dominicana, often abbreviated as LFD, has earned a cult following among cigar enthusiasts for its bold character, masterful construction, and Dominican-grown innovation. Founded by Litto Gomez in 1994, this boutique brand has become synonymous with strength, complexity, and creativity—carving out its place as a must-try for seasoned smokers and adventurous newcomers alike.

The Legacy of La Flor Dominicana

What began as a small operation in Santiago, Dominican Republic, quickly grew into one of the most influential cigar brands in the industry. Gomez, a former jeweler turned cigar visionary, emphasized quality control from seed to smoke. LFD owns its own farms, uses proprietary tobaccos, and rolls every cigar in-house—an uncommon trait that ensures unmatched consistency and flavor integrity.

What Sets LFD Apart?

In-House Dominican Tobaccos

LFD uses sun-grown and shade-grown tobaccos from its own estate in La Canela. This level of vertical integration allows for greater control over flavor, strength, and texture.

Bold, Full-Bodied Blends

While LFD offers milder options, the brand is best known for its powerful blends like the LFD Double Ligero and LFD Andalusian Bull—the latter of which was named Cigar Aficionado’s 2016 Cigar of the Year.
