“Learned a lot about how cigars are made”
I knew very little about cigars before this tour. It was interesting to learn why different leaves are used and how much skill goes into rolling a cigar properly. The guide explained everything in a simple way and I left knowing much more than when I arrived.
“Great guide and very easy to understand”
The guide made the tour much better for us. He was friendly, patient, and explained the cigar process in a way that was easy to follow, even for people who don't know much about tobacco. He answered all our questions and did not rush the visit. You can tell he knows the factory and enjoys sharing the story behind cigars.
“The process for how everything was made”
I really enjoyed the black bird tour

“Loved seeing the rollers at work”
Really nice visit. Watching the rollers work was my favorite part. The staff was friendly and the cigars were great.
“Great way to spend a morning in Santiago”
We were looking for something different to do while visiting Santiago and found this tour. The factory wasn't huge, which actually made it better because it felt personal. I liked being able to watch people working instead of just looking at displays. Everyone was friendly and patient even when our group asked a lot of questions. If you're curious about cigars, it's definitely worth a visit.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs about Arturo Fuente Factory
Answers to common questions before your visit.
Do I need to carry ID?Toggle answer visibility
Yes. We recommend carrying ID for security at the factory entrances and for any alcohol tastings (rum, whiskey, etc.).
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.
