Description
A legendary Dominican cigar and one of the most recognizable figurados in premium cigars.
The La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull earned Cigar Aficionado's No. 1 Cigar of the Year in 2016 with a 96-point score. A decade later, it remains one of the most sought-after releases in the La Flor Dominicana portfolio. citeturn0search2
Its unmistakable 6½ x 64 Salomon format is built around an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper and Dominican binder and filler tobaccos, including Criollo '98 and a touch of Pelo d'Oro. La Flor Dominicana describes the blend as full-bodied, with complex spice and subtle sweetness. citeturn0search0turn1search4
Flavor profile: Expect a rich combination of hickory, leather, coffee, caramel, saffron, cumin, cedar and pepper, with sweetness helping balance the cigar's considerable strength. Recent Cigar Aficionado tasting notes also highlight almond, leather, coffee, vanilla, marzipan and cinnamon. citeturn0search1turn1search3
The story: Litto Gomez based the unusual shape on a vintage cigar mold he discovered in Belgium. The name pays tribute to Andalusia and Gomez's Spanish roots, while the bullfighter-inspired presentation reinforces the cigar's distinctive identity. citeturn0search2
Why it's special: The large Salomon format, distinctive construction and limited small-batch availability have helped make the Andalusian Bull a collector-worthy cigar. It is a long, substantial smoke best suited to an experienced smoker who appreciates bold Dominican character. citeturn1search2turn1search0
Stogies Says: This isn't an ordinary Dominican cigar—it's a conversation piece with the accolades to back it up. If you've been waiting for the right moment to smoke a former No. 1 Cigar of the Year, this is it. With only a few currently available at Stogies, don't expect these to sit around.
