Last year to celebrate the company's tenth anniversary, the first Dominican Puro from La Flor Dominicana was introduced as the Litto Gomez Diez. This cigar is available in four sizes, presented in hexagonal, varnished cabinets of fifty cigars each. Appealing primarily to the stronger cigar smoker, the flavors are spicy, yet smooth and complex with a cedar finish. Being near and dear to his heart, Litto describes it best:

"In 1999, I challenged myself to produce a cigar that was made entirely with tobacco grown in our farm. I new it was a difficult task, because it implied to grow our own wrapper. The investment was big and the risk too. But the most difficult part has been the waiting. The process of fermentation and aging took more years than I anticipated. I tested this blend month after month for the last three years. Just to be disappointed because it was not ready but at the same time happy because I would taste the progress. Finally at the beginning of this year (2004), the leaves were at their pick. The flavor was everything I was hoping for.
