When Litto Gomez first blended the La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial back in 1997 he set out to make a "Connecticut the La Flor way."  And that he did, with a filler/binder blend of Dominican tobaccos and a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper leaf.  It delivers a medium bodied smoke with an outstanding range of flavors.

The Reserva Especial line has been near and dear to us here at Jack Schwartz Importer.  Back in the mid-1990's when Litto was developing the blend he showed us the unique-shaped El Jocko he was planning on releasing.  Our friend and former employee, Jocko Headblade, set out to convince Litto he needed to call this funny looking cigar the El Jocko.  After much pleading Litto acquiesced and the rest is history.  The La Flor Dominicana El Jocko was the best selling cigar for La Flor for years till they came out with their popular LFD DL-700 Maduro.
