In 2013, La Flor Dominicana released Chapter One, the first cigar blended by Tony Gomez, son of company co-founders Ines and Litto Gomez. The cigar utilized La Flor Dominicana’s signature cap, the Chisel, which is shaped somewhat like a flat head screwdriver and contained tobaccos from Brazil, the Dominican Republic and U.S. It also sold quite well, creating demand for an obvious follow-up, chapter two. At the 2014 IPCPR convention and trade show, La Flor Dominicana introduced the Capitulo II, Spanish for chapter two and pronounced capitulo dos. Like Chapter One, Capitulo II features is a 6 1/2 x 58 Chisel and is sold in 10-count boxes, but the blend changes dramatically, using a Nicaraguan Colorado wrapper in place of the broadleaf of Chapter One, an Ecuadorian habano binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic. The name Capitulo II was used instead of Chapter Two to avoid a conflict with the Casa Miranda Chapter Two, which was released in 2013. Earlier this week, Capitulo II left the Dominican Republic for the U.S. It should begin shipping shortly.
