What visitors are saying about Arturo Fuente Factory
Stories from cigar lovers who have toured with Boca2Boca.
“unforgettable experience”
The Coffee Brothers Cigar Club had an unforgettable experience at the La Flor Dominicana Factory. From the moment we arrived, our incredible host, Tony Gomez, welcomed us with open arms, making us feel like part of the family. The stories he shared about his father's legacy and the passion behind the business added a personal touch that truly enriched our experience.
After an engaging hour with Tony, we dived into the heart of the operation – the warehouse! There, Tony took us behind the scenes, breaking down each step of the cigar-making process and showcasing how they achieve exceptional quality in every single cigar.
As cigar enthusiast, we were absolutely captivated by every detail and found ourselves completely immersed in the artistry of LFD. Our time in the Dominican Republic was amazing, but this visit truly took the cake! LFD has won us over for life, and we can't wait to return!

Frequently asked questions
FAQs about Arturo Fuente Factory
Answers to common questions before your visit.
What should I wear?Toggle answer visibility
Factories are working environments, so we recommend light, comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. While the Dominican Republic is a warm country, avoid “beach wear” such as flip-flops, tank tops, or overly casual outfits. You never know when the owner or master blender might step out for a photo with you, and looking neat makes for a much better memory. Think smart-casual: light shirts, polos, or dresses that keep you cool but also presentable.
Are tours accessible?Toggle answer visibility
Factories are working production facilities and some areas may have stairs or uneven floors. We will always try to accommodate mobility needs – please let us know in advance so we can arrange the safest route.
How long are the tours?Toggle answer visibility
Most factory tours last 1.5–2 hours
Where do you operate tours?Toggle answer visibility
We offer tours in Santiago, Tamboril, and Santo Domingo – the heart of the Dominican cigar industry. Our partners include some of the country’s most iconic factories such as La Flor Dominicana, La Aurora, La Palma, and more.
There are so many cigar tour companies out there. Why should I choose Boca2Boca?Toggle answer visibility
The real question isn’t who has the “best” tour on paper – many tours may look similar. What makes Boca2Boca different is the experience itself.
We keep our groups small (often 2–8 guests), so you don’t get lost in a crowd. You’ll be able to ask questions directly, engage with your guide, and enjoy an intimate, authentic connection with the factories and people behind the cigars.
Each itinerary is crafted to highlight the unique personality of every factory – no cookie-cutter routes, just authentic Dominican cigar culture.
