Abe Flores is one of the young "new breed" cigar makers. He was a partner in Pinar Del Rio, but now is the central figure in PDR Cigars (not the same company as Pinar Del Rio). I am enjoying the taste profile of many of his cigars, particularly the Gran Reserva Desflorado. The desflorado has an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper that is amped up in strength in the growth process, resulting in a slightly darker leaf than regular Connecticut. When this cigar went through initial release, the MSRP (in my opinion) was outrageous at about $11.00 per cigar. Obviously, Flores thought the market for this cigar was larger than it turned out to be. It's on a severe markdown today at Cigarpage.com.
