A. Flores Gran Reserva Desflorado Double Magnum

Fine Dominican pleasure - elegant and rich in flavour

The A. Flores Gran Reserva Desflorado comes from the Abe Flores (PDR Cigars) factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Here, the cigars are rolled entirely by hand and carefully selected. The term "desflorado" refers to a special cultivation method: The flowers of the tobacco plant are removed so that more strength and flavours go into the leaves. The result is a very clean, balanced and at the same time characterful smoke profile with a clear, elegant flavour and subtle sweetness.

Balanced, fragrant, with a classic tobacco flavour

The Gran Reserva Desflorado is aimed at aficionados who prefer a medium-bodied cigar with an elegant flavour. It is characterised by light wood tones, creamy smoke and fine floral notes, as found in well-fermented, high-quality wrapper leaves. Dominican and partly Nicaraguan tobaccos provide depth and structure without ever appearing coarse or harsh. Over the course of the cigar, there are hints of cedar wood, almonds, honey sweetness, white pepper and a very light hay/floral note - very harmonious for connoisseurs who find complexity more important than pure strength.
