“beautiful and educational”
The farm visit was my favorite part. palm trees, tobacco fields, quiet air. learned how the climate near Tamboril is perfect for cigar tobacco. so peaceful day in santiao, rep dom.
“Aprendí muchísimo”
El guía explicó cómo cada hoja pasa por fermentación, secado y selección. No sabía que todo eso se hacía aquí mismo en Santiago. La Palma es arte puro.
“orgullo dominicano”
Me encantó ver cómo La Palma produce su propio tabaco en Tamboril. Es una empresa dominicana que demuestra calidad mundial. salí con una sonrisa y olor a tabaco en la ropa 😂

Frequently asked questions
FAQs about Diaz Cabrera Cigar 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.
