La Flor Dominicana was founded in 1996 in Santiago, Dominican Republic and while Litto Gomez might be the co-founder of La Flor Dominicana and the face of LFD, his son Antonio Gomez has gotten more involved in the blending process as he spends most of his time in the Dominican Republic. The first project for Tony Gomez was the La Flor Dominicana Chapter One, which was followed by Capitulo Dos (Chapter Two in Spanish) and […]
A few weeks ago on Twitter one of our followers asked for my opinion on Warped Cigars. My response was that while I have heard of the brand which is popular in social media circles I hadn’t seen them up in New England where I live.

Omar de Frias has only been in the cigar industry for a few years, but he has certainly made his mark in it. There aren’t many “boutique” brands that are successful in the market, as I’ve seen so many come and go. However, Fratello Cigars is one of the exceptions. Omar did a lot to get his brand off the ground when it launched in 2013, and I believe his presence on social media played […]
Earlier this year the first news came out that My Father Cigars had planned to release the Flor de las Antillas in a Tubo. The cigar which measures 6 x 50 is round instead of the familiar box-pressed version that the line normally comes in. The cigar carries the vitola name of Petaca, which is the spanish name for a case used to hold tobacco much like a cigarette case. The name ties into the […]
