Stories from cigar lovers who have toured with Boca2Boca.

unforgettable experience

The Coffee Brothers Cigar Club had an unforgettable experience at the La Flor Dominicana Factory. From the moment we arrived, our incredible host, Tony Gomez, welcomed us with open arms, making us feel like part of the family. The stories he shared about his father's legacy and the passion behind the business added a personal touch that truly enriched our experience.


After an engaging hour with Tony, we dived into the heart of the operation – the warehouse! There, Tony took us behind the scenes, breaking down each step of the cigar-making process and showcasing how they achieve exceptional quality in every single cigar.


As cigar enthusiast, we were absolutely captivated by every detail and found ourselves completely immersed in the artistry of LFD. Our time in the Dominican Republic was amazing, but this visit truly took the cake! LFD has won us over for life, and we can't wait to return!
