At the 2017 IPCPR Trade Show, La Flor Dominicana will release its first Factory Press cigar in four years.

The Factory Press distribution is unique in that the cigars are shipped to retailers in an actual unit used for box pressing cigars. This gives the cigars a well-defined box press shape.

This year’s release is simply called “Factory Press”. It is a 6 1/2 x 58 vitola with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and Dominican fillers. It is the first Factory Press to use an Ecuadorian Habano.
