Guest reviews
What visitors are saying about Don Rey Cigars - Factory
Stories from cigar lovers who have toured with Boca2Boca.
“Small group, plenty of Q&A”
Only a few of us on the tour, so the supervisor walked us through pressing molds and banding without hurrying.
Ended in a quiet lounge corner with a house cigar and coffee. Felt authentic and welcoming.
“Great insight on sorting colors”
Loved the part where they compared wrapper shades and explained box consistency. You can smell how different the aged leaf is in that room.
Small group of six, plenty of time for photos and questions, plus water on hand.
“Easy pace for first-timers”
Good intro for a first factory visit. The guide slowed down at the rolling tables so we could watch hands and tools up close.
Wish there was a bit more on fermentation steps, but the tasting cigar and Q&A made it worthwhile.
“Well-organized tour with good pacing. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Nice to see a boutique operation that values quality over mass production.”
As someone who smokes cigars regularly, I appreciated Don Rey's commitment to small-batch, quality production. The tour was well-paced—not rushed, but also not overly long. The rolling floor was impressive to see, and watching the torcedores work with such precision was eye-opening. The sorting and aging areas gave me a newfound respect for the time and effort that goes into every cigar. A solid tour experience overall.
“An authentic, intimate experience that felt like visiting friends. The cigar tasting was exquisite and the coffee was fresh. Highly recommended!”
What a beautiful experience. Don Rey Cigars factory in Santiago is not just a tour—it's a journey into the heart of Dominican cigar culture. The family's dedication to quality is evident in every detail. I loved how our guide explained the leaf-sorting and rolling techniques with such care. The fact that they include a tasting cigar and Dominican coffee shows they're not just going through the motions; they genuinely want you to enjoy their craft.
“Great factory tour with knowledgeable guides. Small group format was perfect. The only thing I would have appreciated was more time in the aging room.”
Don Rey Cigars exceeded my expectations. The small-group format really does make a difference—we got personalized attention and could observe the rolling process up close. The guides were experts in their field. I particularly enjoyed learning about the Reyes family's century-long history with tobacco. If there's one suggestion: I would have liked to spend more time in the aging room, as that's where the magic really begins.
