There was a very positive vibe going on in the LFD booth this year, especially when you talk with Antonio Gomez, son of Litto Gomez, both blenders and owners of La Flor Dominicana.

·"This cigar was, well, outstanding to me. This is something I could enjoy at any time and could even be something that I'd smoke very regularly. The flavors caught my attention at the beginning and the constant evolution kept me coming back for more. It was a surprisingly long smoking cigar with made it that much better." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

Our reviewer Mickey spoke to Andreas Throuvalas about Curivari, where he was taken on avtour of the booth. Curivari started in Europe in 1997, but didn't start developing the brand until 2003. In 2010 they decided to go full Nicaraguan tobacco. Andres claims there are no Ecuadorian wrappers whatsoever.

This year the only *new* line Steve Saka was showing off was the Todos Las Dias.
“Todos Las Dias is my personal Spanglish translation meaning “All the Days.” The workers at Joya de Nicaraguan often cringe at my casual butchering of their mother tongue, but in my opinion cigars are far more than a grammar lesson to abide, they are the physical manifestation of a feeling and of an experience. TLD embodies the classic bold flavors that represent the heart of their soil’s peppery tobaccos and the labor of their always working hands. For me, this spicy Nicaraguan puro reflects no pretentious airs or any of that “notes of pencil lead with a hint of fennel” nonsense. It is an honest, hardworking cigar intended to be smoked by men who know what it means to be a cigar smoker and never give a damn about what others think,” states the creator, Steve Saka.
Dunbarton, NH – Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust® will be showcasing its newest Todos Las Dias® brand and blend of fine handmade cigars at this year’s 85th Annual Convention of the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 10th through July 14th, 2017.
