La Flor Dominicana is Litto Gomez's house, and it is known for strength. Dominican-made, often ligero-heavy, and responsible for the chisel: a flattened head you bite open rather than cut. The LFD lines we carry are below; live stock is on the collection page.
Air Bender
Habano wrapper, full-bodied. Chisel Natural, Matatan and Tubo, plus a Maduro version in the Chisel and Matatan.
Double Ligero
Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun Grown wrapper over a ligero-heavy filler, which is where the name comes from. Full. 654, 660, 700 and the 8½-inch Digger, with a Maduro version of each plus a Chisel Maduro.
Ligero and Ligero Cabinet Oscuro
Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, full. L-500 and the 7 x 70 Ligero 707. The Cabinet Oscuro uses a Sumatra Oscuro wrapper.
Reserva Especial and Suave
Reserva Especial wears an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, with a Broadleaf Maduro version. Suave is the milder end of the house: Maximo, Grand Maduro No. 5, Gobernador and Tubo.

Frequently asked questions
How do you smoke a chisel?
Either bite the flattened head gently open or make a shallow straight cut. The shape spreads the smoke across the palate.
Is LFD too strong for a beginner?
Much of it is. Start with Suave.
