In 2006, La Flor Dominicana introduced this first Small Batch, the company described the release to Patrick Lagreid in 2014:
We began experimenting with growing our own wrapper in the early 2000′s, namely Sumatra seed Dominican. The problem back then, and today to a lesser extent, was that the success rate on our wrappers was minimal, only allowing for ‘small batches’ to come out of the farm every year. The LG small batch series truly is as the name suggests, a very small batch of a very special tobacco, the most special tobacco we grow.
The latest incarnation in the Small Batch series is composed entirely of Dominican tobacco—including a pelo de pro wrapper—that came from the 2009 crop and was grown at the company’s fields in La Canela. The release comes in a 6 3/4 x 52 toro extra vitola that carries an MSRP of $21 and is sold in boxes of 105, with only 250 cabinets produced.
There have now been seven releases in the Small Batch line.
