Notes

Parse note: 'Baby Andalusian Bull' is the community nickname for the Paso Fino vitola in the La Flor Dominicana Rare Finds program. The nickname refers to the Paso Fino's visual kinship and blend lineage to the legendary Andalusian Bull, executed in a smaller and more compact figurado shape.

Backstory: The Rare Finds Paso Fino is among the most exclusive limited-edition releases crafted by Litto Gomez and the La Flor Dominicana family. Developed over two years, it was produced entirely from tobacco grown at the Gomez family's renowned La Canela farm in the Dominican Republic. It is positioned as a centerpiece of the Rare Finds portfolio — a prestige umbrella program reserved for ultra-exclusive LFD releases (also home to Papi Chulo and others).

Release: Limited to 500 boxes worldwide. Each box contains 15 cigars in two formats — 10 Paso Fino (52 × 6) and 5 Paso Largo (55 × 7 Perfecto, each in its own coffin). Box MSRP is $495 (approximately $33 per stick blended across the two vitolas). Every box is presented in a red high-gloss lacquer presentation piece. The collection debuted at the From Maverick to Master event on February 11, 2026, hosted exclusively by The Tobacconist of Greenwich.

Tobacco: Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican long-filler tobacco, with all filler leaf grown exclusively at La Canela — the Gomez family's estate farm. This single-farm sourcing is a defining trait of the release.

Color: Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper presents a classic reddish-brown hue with light oil; the exact appearance was not described in the source but Corojo-seed wrappers from this estate typically fall in the Colorado range.

Flavor: The Paso Fino is built for concentrated flavor and dense smoke output, with a profile layered with cedar, roasted spice, earth, mineral richness, and subtle sweetness. Transitions move from wood and spice into deeper tones of cocoa, earth, and dried fruit. Body is medium to full. The companion Paso Largo (Perfecto) extends the arc with a longer, progressive burn and a more structured finish — attributed to Litto Gomez's shaping expertise.

Fun Fact: The Paso Fino vitola is named after the Paso Fino horse breed — a smooth-gaited horse originally developed in colonial Latin America — continuing LFD's pattern of naming rare releases after equestrian and cultural motifs.

Fun Fact: The companion blend in the Rare Finds program — Papi Chulo — is even more limited at only 25 boxes worldwide ($1,000 each / 20-count), and uses a different blend than the Paso Fino.
