The tradition of the “Flor de Flores” family cigar goes back three generations, to the Santa Clara region of Cuba, where for 30 years the Flores family operated a tobacco plantation and where Señor Carlos Flores Sr., first learned the delicate art of cigar rolling. As a prominent member of the people’s revolution against Castro, Señor Carlos and his family were forced to leave Cuba in the 1960’s because of political reasons and arrived in the Miami area. There, Señor Flores Sr., simply moved production to the kitchen table and was encouraged by family and friends to expand the distribution of the family’s cigar line.
Today William Flores, son of Carlos Flores Sr., has expanded the family name by creating “La Hoja Cigar Company” which is now producing an all new Puro Dominicano cigar line called “Hoja de Flores” in honor of his father. He prides himself in providing the best quality, completely hand-made premium cigars which are aged to perfection for all aficionados to enjoy.
Hear great things about this cigar, missed their event downtown the other day. Got to make it here for this one.
Nice job remodeling of La Concha, see ya there!
