  • ToG and LFD Release Paso Fino – A LFD Rare Finds Collection

    The La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Rare Finds Paso Fino is one of the most exclusive limited-edition releases ever crafted by Litto Gomez and the La Flor Dominicanafamily. Developed over two years and produced entirely with tobacco grown at the Gomez family’s famed La Canela farm, this release is a centerpiece in the Rare Finds Cigars portfolio. Only 500 boxes of this special edition exist worldwide.

    CIGAR SIZES & FORMATS:

    • 10 × Paso Fino – 52 × 6
    • 5 × Paso Largo – 55 × 7 Perfecto (each in its own coffin)

    The standout of the collection is the Paso Fino vitola, widely referred to as the “Baby Andalusian Bull” for its connection to the legendary Andalusian Bull and its distinctively elegant figurado shaping. Rolled in a compact yet expressive 52 × 6 size, it offers remarkable balance, density, and technical refinement. The elongated Paso Largo 55 × 7 Perfecto expands the profile with a long, progressive burn and a beautifully structured flavor arc.

    Wrapped in a premium Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper and built with Dominican binder and long-filler tobacco grown at La Canela, the blend is medium to full bodied and layered with notes of cedar, roasted spice, earth, mineral richness, and subtle sweetness — a true representation of the La Flor Dominicana signature.

    Cigar Blend & Flavor Profile:

    The Paso Fino delivers concentrated flavor and exceptional craftsmanship, producing dense smoke output and refined transitions from wood and spice into deeper tones of cocoa, earth, and dried fruit. The Paso Largo enhances the journey with an extended, complex finish that highlights Litto Gomez’s shaping expertise and commitment to small-batch excellence.

    Presentation & Collectors Appeal:

    Every cigar is housed in a striking red high-gloss lacquer box, adding elegance and visual impact to its ultra-limited nature. For collectors of LFD Rare Finds, for fans of the Andalusian Bull, or for anyone building a serious La Flor Dominicana humidor, the Rare Finds Paso Fino is an essential release — a fusion of rarity, heritage, and masterful Dominican craftsmanship.
