La Flor Dominicana Factory Press II

Still celebrating my recent resignation, I fired up a Litto Gomez beauty this weekend. Battling the cold, I pulled out a lawn chair and sat in my friends' heated garage and enjoyed every inch of the La Flor Dominicana Factory Press II. This is a dark, oily, full flavored creation that will sure to please. It was a perfect smoke to cap a restful weekend.

La Flor Dominicana Factory Press II is constructed with aged Dominican fillers and binder. It is the only smoke by Litto Gomez that uses a Nicaraguan Oscuro wrapper, which is then squared pressed into an absolute delight. I fired up the toro which measures an impressive 6.5 x 54. The appearance of the cigar is wonderful with it's dark, oily, square shaped aura sitting naked in it's factory tray just waiting to be enjoyed. It lit easily and maintained an even burn. It held a decent size ash roughly two plus inches long. It required no relighting and the draw was effortless. La Flor Dominicana Factory Press II was a medium-bodied delight that was packed full of flavor ranging from leather to caramel. Each stick runs for about $12. A tray of twelve costs $150 or a full box of 120 runs for about $1500. These are not cheap smokes, but are worth every penny. Would I smoke another? You bet. Will I buy a box? If I could, I would.

As a side note: I find it every surprising that not one La Flor Dominicana cigar made the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 Cigars of 2008?? I realize the Litto Gomez Diez 2008 Chisel Puro ranked third, but no other La Flor Dominicana product made it to the top 25? Instead, you have Casa Magna Colorado, Mi Dominicana, and Alec Bradley Tempus all making it to the list. Something is not right with this picture. Again, just an observation.

    I'm with you all the way on this one! What a fantastic smoke and the big mag gave it a 86!?! I do like the flavor of the tempus-however this smoke was worth the extra time you get and the flavor is one of a kind.
