The term 'La Volcada' comes from a step in the tango dance that originated in Uruguay. Litto Gomez, co-founder of LFD, grew up in Uruguay so the name has very deep meaning. The cigar is a 7" x 48 Churchill with a Mexican San Andrés, Dominican fillers, and an Ecuadorian Corojo binder. The La Volcada is a full-bodied smoke that will get you up on your feet and dancing to the beautiful flavors. Cherry, pepper, soft leather, and cedar are just some flavors that you will experience while smoking the La Volcada cigar from LFD. Today we fire up a cigar that embodies LFD and share our thoughts on The AshHoles.
