Davidoff Yamasa

Written By Eric Provost - August 02 2016

Davidoff Yamasa is a cigar 20 years in the making.  Henke Kelner, the master blender for Davidoff, found an outstanding region in the Dominican Republic nearly perfect for growing fine tobacco.  The climate was ideal, the soil was rich in minerals.  The only problem was the pH count in the soil was lacking.  Mr. Kelner and his team worked on enriching the soil and increasing the pH content.  After many years of work the soil was deemed just right for growing the Dominican Yamasa tobacco used to create the special Davidoff Yamasa.

Both the wrapper and binder are made with these unique Dominican Yamasa tobaccos.  The filler is perfectly balanced with sweet Condega and spicy Esteli tobaccos from Nicaragua.  Henke added some Dominican Piloto and Mejorado to add more strength and complexity to the blend.  

The Davidoff Yamasa immediately introduces notes of spice, leading to notes of nut, coffee, cedar wood, earth and black pepper.  It's another new experience created by Henke Kelner and Davidoff for cigar aficionados.  Enjoy!

La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial

Written By Eric Provost - August 02 2016

The La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial line is back! When Litto Gomez first blended this line 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.  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.
