The La Flor Dominicana brand was first known as Los Libertadores. The name of the brand was inspired by the flower of the tobacco plant which signifies that the growing cycle is complete and the plant is ready for reproduction. In 1999, the factory produced about 2.5 million cigars, up from 2.4 million in 1998 growing substantially from the 300,000 cigars produced in the first year of operations. Subsequently, the company made 1.5 million cigars in 2004, 1.9 million in 2005, and 2.9 million in 2006. It likely surpassed the 4 million cigar mark by the present time.
