Live, Laugh, Smoke Cigars!

Seven NFT buyers will become the only people in the world with the ability to purchase “The Golden Bull” – a special edition Lonsdale of the award-winning Andalusian Bull.

MIAMI, FL – April 2022: La Flor Dominicana has announced that it is teaming up with UREEQA for a first of its kind NFT drop that will provide an opportunity for seven people across the world to become the exclusive buyers of the The Golden Bull, allowing them up to 70 cigars per month. The original buyers of these seven NFTs will also receive a personalized 50-count Gold Bullion Humidor, of which a previous 100-count version was purchased at auction for $32,000 during Procigar Festival’s Gala Night in February.

What is The Golden Bull? It is a never before released Lonsdale version of the famed Andalusian Bull, which pays homage to the birth country of company founder Litto Gomez and was named Cigar Aficionado Magazine’s Cigar of the Year in 2016.

“Personally, it’s my favorite cigar,” said Tony Gomez, Vice President of La Flor Dominicana. “There is just something special about the Lonsdale, I think it’s the most beautiful cigar size, and when combined with the Andalusian Bull blend there emerges an elegance and depth of flavor that is nothing short of spectacular.”

The 42 x 6.25” Lonsdale has, until now, been a private blend that Litto Gomez and his son Tony have kept for themselves and their friends. That will change when The Golden Bull floodgates open via the UREEQA Marketplace in July. Altogether, seven NFTs will be minted and auctioned off. Those who purchase an NFT will gain the right to buy up to 70 of these cigars per month for as long as they own the NFT. La Flor Dominicana guarantees that these seven NFT owners will be the only people in the world who can buy The Golden Bull directly from them. Owners of the NFTs will be allowed to re-sell the digital asset in the future, transferring the right to purchase the cigars to a new owner.

“La Flor Dominicana is an adventurous, creative brand entering uncharted territory with an NFT release that is historic and unprecedented in their industry,” UREEQA Chief Marketing Officer Shannon Powell said. “We’re happy that they’ve recognized we can offer them the ultimate protection and guidance for their highly anticipated release. This is the beginning of something big!”

UREEQA, a leading digital validation company that helps creators protect, manage and monetize creative work, will provide a digital marketplace for the auctions as well as utilize their revolutionary Package of Proof™ technology to provide security and authenticity to the NFTs.

“We realize that this idea will expose a lot of people to a totally unknown world,” said Gomez, “so being able to provide a safe, secure platform for bidding and purchasing that offers assurances regarding authenticity is extremely important. The way we see it, these NFTs aren’t just access to a special cigar — they are an investment, and UREEQA’s validation services provide protection on that investment.”
