La Flor Dominicana 1994

Blended by Litto Gómez as a farm-focused celebration, the 1994 centers on La Canela-grown Dominican binder and long-filler dressed in a Mexican San Andrés wrapper aged for the release. The San Andrés leaf gives a savory, slightly charred opening—earth and leather—while the Dominican interior supplies rounded cedar, dark chocolate/cocoa and a brown-sugar sweetness that can drift into raisin or dried-fruit notes. A black-pepper lift generally builds into the last third, keeping the finish lively rather than blunt. What distinguishes the 1994 is the consistent use of that San Andrés top leaf against estate Dominican core—dark, sometimes toothy wrapper oiliness meeting a cedar-forward filler for a tobacco-first, full-bodied smoke.
