About Flatbush Tobacco Company

Flatbush Tobacco Company is owned by Gotham Cigars, the largest online purveyor of cigars in the United States.

The result of the tête-à-tête complimented by rum and cigars was the birth of Gotham Cigars.
“The story behind the story of Flatbush Cigar Company is that a conversation that I was having about the cigar business many years ago while in Flatbush generated the idea that has become Gotham Cigars. I have always known that I wanted to honor that meeting, and one of my favorite areas in Brooklyn, with a cigar…and now here it is. These are really fantastic cigars that are affordable. We look forward to introducing them to the market, and following that up with a few other creative ideas we have planned for the Flatbush Cigar Company”, says Manny Balani, owner and President of Gotham Cigars.

Flatbush Tobacco Company Blends
The launch of Flatbush Tobacco Company comes with the release of three cigars: Yellow Cab, The Doorman, and Stoop 526. These are the premier smokes under the Flatbush Tobacco Company. As a sneak peek, here is what to expect from these three stogies.
The Doorman: Blend and Flavour Notes
The Doorman dorns an exquisite dark brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Underneath is another Habano, this time a Nicaraguan offing marshalling a unique blend of Nicaraguan pickings and primings from Condega and Jalapa regions.
Thanks to the premium Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, the Doorman is a rich golden-brown medium to full bodied stick. It spots a silky texture, fine veins, and a beautiful sheen. A whiff of the shaft will likely generate spicy tobacco notes, cocoa, and dry fruit aromas. Cold draw is a confirmation of the cocoa, raisin, warm spices, and premium tobacco notes.
Doorman opens with exuberant notes of spice, earth, pepper, and a zesty citrus zing. Right off the bat you can tell it’s going to be a heavy bodied stogy. It’s got that sweet spice and warm aroma that has become the Ecuadorian Habano stamp of approval. Tons of chocolatey cream soon swarm the palate commingled with wood, cocoa, raisin sweetness, espresso, and unbelievable caramel undertones.
Heavier, darker flavours make a debut in the second half of The Doorman brandishing leather, sweet spicy tobacco, nuts, espresso, figs, earth, and wood. The creamy, honey-sweet disposition remains to balance the complex conglomeration of flavours. At the nub, this is a heavy medium to full complex cigar, excellently constructed with no burn issues. If you’re a newbie, this may not be the place to begin, consider Yellow Cab. The
Nic-character in this one takes no prisoners. But if you’re looking to transition from mild to medium smokes, this is your stick. The Doorman comes in three vitolas: Toro (6x52), Gordo (6x60), and Churchill (7x50).
