Litto Gomezs Small Batch Has Big Demand
I’d say the third times the charm but lets face it- all the cigars Litto makes tend to be winners. The latest limited edition from La Flor Dominicana, Litto Gomez has released Small Batch #3 to a very anxious world of cigar lovers. A Dominican puro, the binder and filler consist of tobacco grown on Litto’s farm in 2004. This tobacco is rare. This tobacco is in limited supply. And this tobacco is awesome.
This installment of Small Batch is enveloped in a strikingly beautiful, dark Sumatra-seed wrapper. A particularly brilliant choice, the blending of this cigar fashions a very flavorful and complex stick, riddled with spice but sprinkled with sweetness. Nuances of cedar fill the gaps so perfectly that I dare say this is my favorite of the limited editions from camp La Flor Dominicana.
But I should warn you, this cigar is on the meaty side. Meaning, eat some serious meat before you settle in to smoke it….Like two giant steaks worth. You can tell by the weight when you hold Small Batch #3 that Litto wasn’t playin’ around- it’s filled to the max. This cigar will probably take you awhile to smoke and the full bodied nature will NOT go unnoticed. All great things in my book. I say pick up a five pack (at LEAST) immediately before they’re gone forever.
Litto’s Small Batch #3 is available at Emerson’s Cigars. Emerson’s has five locations in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and their newest location: Peninsula Town Center in Hampton. Emerson’s Cigars celebrated 30 years in the business last year and is sure to be around for many more as they specialize in bringing the highest quality product with the highest level of customer service.
