Description
La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial is another one of this iconic company’s highly desirable editions. To begin with, La Flor Dominicana was founded by Master Blender Litto Gomez in 1996. Interestingly enough, the brand was originally known as Los Libertadores. Since then, this boutique cigar maker has made and continues to produce some of the world’s most popular cigars. Today, the demand for La Flor Dominicana cigars still exceeds their supply.
With attention to detail, this special Reserva blend consists of an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper that surrounds Dominican Piloto Cubano long filler and a rich-tasting Nicaraguan binder. When the folks at Cigar Authority rated this medium bodied cigar at a very respectable 92, they describe it perfectly. ” The Reserva Especial from La Flor Dominicana while not being a powerhouse is not your typical Connecticut cigar. The power of the cigar seems to build as the cigar progresses with an abundance of complexity that is extremely enjoyable. This is a must smoke for those who are fans of LFD and newcomers to La Flor Dominicana.”
Cigar Aficionado isn’t far behind with a score of 91. They are short and sweet with their take. ” A tawny-colored cigar with an even burn and draw. Notes of cinnamon and cedar meld pleasantly with touches of cumin and cardamom.”
Without doubt, if you’re new to this long standing brand, La Reserva should be your first try. Any one you choose is a top pick!
To sum up, La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial is available in nine popular sizes of 24 count boxes. FYI, the popular Especial El Jocko is also available with a maduro wrapper.

Unlike many La FLors, this blend is a delightfully complex smooth, medium bodied cigar with a bit of sweetness yielding very pleasant notes of cedar, espresso, nuts , peppery spices and an interesting hint of cherries. Slow burning with a great draw, this edition has remained a favorite for those smokers who appreciate a
balanced taste without the intensity of full strength sticks. .
