“The cigar
community waits with anticipation as this unique brand hits the US”
Dona
Flor is at its finest, a combination of the best cigar minds to come out of
Cuba, and the exotic natural resources in Brazil that produces “Brazil’s dark
treasure” the Mata Fina tobacco. Manufactured in the state of Bahia located in
northeast Brazil, Dona Flor Cigars are the result of the collaboration between
Cuban cigar maker Felix Menendez
(who had been involved in the making of famous Cuban brands Montecristo and H.
Upmann in the pre-Castro era) and Brazilian tobacco grower Mario Amerino. Now being brought to the United States via Chris Edge owner of Dona Flor U.S.A.,
cigar enthusiasts will now have the opportunity to savor the cigar industries
best kept secret: Dona Flor Cigars.
Dona Flor made an attempt to
distribute its award-winning blend to the U.S. market in 2005 but legal issues (which
have now been resolved) kept the Dona Flor brand off the shelves in the U.S.
until now. Chris Edge, a cigar enthusiast and successful business man from
Denver, Colorado was handpicked by Menendez and Amerino to carry out the
mission of exposing the Brazil’s finest cigars to North America.
“Because of the quality and unique
flavor of Brazilian tobacco we will be able to establish Dona Flor cigars as
the ultimate Brazilian cigar. Brazilian cigars or Brazilian tobacco in general
are an unknown treasure here in the US.
Brazilian tobacco has been a crucial part of infamous cigars for decades,
but all of the glory has gone to the country of manufacture, not the country of
origin,” said Chris Edge.
The IPCPR in Orlando will be the
platform for the unveiling of Dona Flor cigars which have garnered ratings from
Cigar Aficionado Magazine of
92, 89, and 88. Dona Flor’s cigars are 100% “puro” with filler, binder, and
wrapper all grown in Bahia which makes the final product one of the most unique
and flavorful premium cigars in the world.
