After 2000, they moved entirely to their own farm, La Canela, and factory, Tabacalera La Flor SA (located in Santiago, Dominican Republic), where all cigars are 100% handcrafted in their own factory. Litto Gomez personally oversees the entire chain from seed to finished product: their own farm grows top-quality tobacco leaves including Andullo (Dominican traditional rope-bound fermentation), Piloto Cubano, Olor Dominicano, Ecuadorian Sumatra, sun-dried Corojo, Mexican San Andrés, and Cameroonian tobacco. All leaves are aged for at least 5 years, with top batches aged up to 10 years.
