Litto Gomez Jr. was born into the cigar world. La Flor Dominicana had been founded 6 years before he first opened his eyes and 22 years later with the help of his father Litto and older brother Tony his first project has come to fruition. Solis, derived from the Latin word “sol” meaning sun, was conceived and perfected slowly over the last few years during Litto Jr’s breaks from college where he spent time with his father and brother at the LFD factory in Tamboril.
Litto Jr. Notes:
“I was inspired by my big brother’s project La Nox and I wanted to create something that contrasted it. We have pretty different personalities and I thought that the sun and moon were a perfect metaphor to describe us.”
With the idea in place, the Gomez trio set to work on making it a reality. Litto Sr. guided his son through the blending process while Tony pieced together the art to bring his brother’s vision to life.
The cigar itself features blend described as:
- Wrapper – Sun Grown Habano
- Binder – Sumatra
- Filler – Dominican tobaccos from La Flor Dominicana’s farm in La Canela
The resulting smoke is powerful and charismatic with bright flavors nuanced through a range of spices that make it unique yet undeniably LFD.
