UREEQA’s partnership with La Flor Dominicana for a one-of-a-kind NFT campaign with real-world tools sells for $90,000
ONTARIO, CA, August 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – UREEQA has teamed up with renowned cigar maker La Flor Dominicana for an exclusive, limited edition NFT. And so far it’s been a huge hit.
 |
Earlier last week, La Flor Dominicana and UREEQA launched a first-of-its-kind NFT drop offering an opportunity for seven people worldwide to become the exclusive buyers of the Andalusian Bull – The Golden NFT, allowing them to purchase up to 70 cigars per month. The original purchasers of these seven NFTs will also receive a personalized 50-count Gold Bullion Humidor filled with cigars.
Auctions for five of the seven have been completed, with prices in the $90,000s. The auctions themselves take place on the UREEQA marketplace and can be accessed at https://bit.ly/UREEQAXLFD.
Those who purchase The Golden NFT on the UREEQA Marketplace will not only be comforted by the fact that the digital asset and related tools have been protected by UREEQA’s patent-pending validation service, but they will also have the exclusive right to purchase the newly created Andalusian Bull — a special LFD – cigars that are not available on the cigar market.
What is The Golden? It is a never released Lonsdale version of the famous Andalusian Bull; which pays tribute to Spain, the birthplace of company founder Litto Gomez and was named Cigar Aficionado Magazine’s Cigar of the Year in 2016.
“Personally, it’s my favorite cigar,” said Tony Gomez, vice president of La Flor Dominicana. “There’s just something special about the Lonsdale, I think it’s the most beautiful cigar size, and combined with the Andalusian bull blend comes an elegance and depth of flavor that is nothing short of spectacular.”
42″ x 6.25″ Lonsdale has until now been a private blend that Litto Gomez and his son Tony have kept to themselves and their friends. It is changing; a total of seven NFTs will be minted and auctioned off. Those who purchase an NFT will be entitled to purchase up to 70 of these cigars per month for as long as they own the NFT. La Flor Dominicana guarantees that these seven NFT owners will be the only ones in the world who can buy The Golden directly from them. Owners of the NFTs will be allowed to resell the digital asset in the future, transferring the right to buy the cigars to a new owner.
“La Flor Dominicana is an adventurous, creative brand entering uncharted territory with an NFT release that is historic and unprecedented in their industry,” said UREEQA Chief Marketing Officer Shannon Powell. “We are delighted that they have recognized that we can offer LFD and their customers the ultimate protection and guidance for their long-awaited release. This is the beginning of something big!”
UREEQA’s patent-pending validation service verifies the authorship, ownership and originality of all tokenizable assets. From cigars to digital art, the integration of people, processes and technology work together to maintain the integrity of an NFT. This creates more value and trust for sellers and buyers; especially for an industry navigating into the unknown world of digital assets.
“Our industry is quite old-fashioned and we realize that this idea will expose a lot of people to a totally unknown world,” said Gomez, “so to be able to offer a safe, secure platform for bidding and buying that provides assurances of authenticity is extremely important. The way we see it, these NFTs aren’t just access to a special cigar — they’re an investment, and UREEQA’s validation services provide protection against that investment.”
It doesn’t get much more important than that, and for the Gomez family and the LFD brand, it’s personal.
La Flor Dominicana was founded by Tony’s father, Litto Gomez, and his stepmother, Ines Lorenzo Gomez in 1994. In a relatively short lifetime, the brand has managed to compete with generational cigar brands that have been around for a lifetime. Nevertheless, the company’s focus has always been on quality rather than quantity.
“We never make more cigars than we can,” said Tony Gomez, “even if demand far exceeds production, which it always does. And we control the entire process behind our products, which includes owning both our own farm and factory.”
It is being used in full force for La Flor Dominicana’s Golden NFT release, resulting in one of the most unique and secure NFT drops in history. You still have a chance to jump in!
