1994年，力图·戈麦斯（Litto Gomez）和妻子伊内斯·洛伦佐（Ines Lorenzo）开始在多米尼加共和国生产和销售雪茄，公司名字起初叫Los Libertadores（解放者），原版的烟叶混合是一种温和、随和的口味，茄衣使用了康涅狄格的阴植叶，茄套和茄芯是多米尼加烟叶。后来解放者改名为多米尼加之花，如今的多米尼加之花雪茄以口味浓郁著称。而多米尼加之花旗下的温和口味产品，被称为斯华孚（Suave）。

在新奥尔良的美国PCA贸易展上，多米尼加之花公司将推出最新版本的斯华孚。力图·戈麦斯对烟叶混合成分 做了调整，根据茄衣不同，分天然色版本、马杜罗版本。

自然色版本使用的茄衣是厄瓜多尔的科罗霍烟叶，不再使用康涅狄格烟叶。马杜罗版本使用的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德烈斯烟叶。每个版本都是五个尺寸。每盒20支。外包装做了重新设计。在美国的售价从每支8.4美元到12.8美元不等。计划7月开始发货。

力图·戈麦斯这样介绍，我们坐下来问自己，如果回到创建公司那一天，知道如今的多米尼加之花雪茄是什么样子，我们会怎么去设计斯华孚系列。于是我们按照这个想法开始工作。

Back in 1994, Litto and Ines Gomez opened a cigar company called Los Libertadores, and their original blend was a mild, easygoing smoke that became known as Premium Line, consisting of Dominican filler and binder with a light, Connecticut shade wrapper leaf. Los Libertadores was soon renamed La Flor Dominicana, and today La Flors are known for their power. Yet La Flor still makes the milder line, now known as Suave.

This weekend, at the PCA trade show in New Orleans, La Flor is unveiling a new version of Suave. “We sat down and asked ourselves, if we could go back to day one knowing everything we know now, what would this cigar have been?” says Litto Gomez. “What would it look like? And then we got to work.”

He reblended Suave, which the company describes as “a full-flavor, mild-to-medium-bodied blend.” It comes in two wrapper expressions, natural and maduro, each in five sizes. Gone is the Connecticut seed on the natural, replaced with Ecuador Corojo. The Maduro version has a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. While the blends are new, the original vitolas and names are unchanged.

The packaging is also new. The cigars come packed in boxes of 20.

Prices range from $8.40 to $12.8 per cigar. The new smokes will begin shipping in July.
