The modern era of La Flor Dominicana arguably kicked off in 2015 with the launch of the LFD La Nox cigar. Latin for The Night, it was among the first projects spearheaded by Tony Gomez, son of company founder, Litto Gomez. Seven years later, Tony's younger brother, Litto Gomez Jr., pays homage to his older brother with his own vision: LFD Solis.
The cigar takes its name from Sol, being the Spanish word for Sun. As could be expected, the cigar takes on a brighter tone compared to La Nox, both in packaging and tobacco recipe. This includes the selection of an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, which is secured over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and all-Dominican fillers from the family's La Canela farm. Bright in profile and medium-full in intensity, the La Flor Dominicana Solis cigar jumps out the gate with flavors of clean cedar, citrus zest, white pepper, and salted peanuts—a worthy addition to the renowned collection of La Flor Dominicana cigars.
