Litto Gomez Diez Emeraude TAA 2024

The Litto Gomez Diez Emeraude TAA 2024 is a bold, terroir-driven Dominican puro crafted exclusively for the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA). It offers a complex journey rooted in the rich soil of La Flor Dominicana’s La Canela farm.

The first third opens with dried raisin, molasses, and sweet cedar, all framed by an elegant white pepper and peach blossom retrohale. This combination balances sweet, spice, and floral lift beautifully. The smoke is dense, oily, and coats the palate luxuriously.

Expertly rolled with a dark, silky Dominican wrapper. The draw is flawless, delivering ample smoke volume. Burn is sharp but requires occasional attention. Ash is slightly flaky but stable. Caps may be delicate, so gentle cutting is advised to preserve integrity.

Primary Pairing: GlenDronach 18 "Allardice" (46%) Its PX sherry depth—fig, raisin, cocoa, and spiced oak—magnifies the Emeraude’s raisin and molasses sweetness. The whisky’s rich body tempers the cigar’s sharp pepper and dry tannins beautifully. Alternative Pairing: Highland Park 18 (43%) The heather honey, mild peat, and dried fruit in Highland Park enhance the floral retrohale and balance its spicy backbone.
