Cabinet Oscuro Torpedito

By La Flor Dominicana

La Flor Dominicana was founded in 1996 in Santiago and made a decision the following year that defined the brand's identity: they purchased their own farm in La Canela in the Dominican Republic and began growing, aging, and processing their own tobacco. That vertical integration is what makes the Ligero Cabinet Oscuro line meaningful. The binder and filler are estate-grown Dominican ligero leaf from La Canela, harvested from the top primings of the plant where the leaf receives the most sunlight and develops the most intensity. The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Sumatra that has been treated to naturally darken and sweeten it, resulting in the Oscuro designation. The Torpedito measures 4.75x50, making it the smallest and quickest expression in the Cabinet Oscuro lineup. Full in body. Made at La Flor Dominicana's factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
