Stories from cigar lovers who have toured with Boca2Boca.

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.

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.

Didn't expect to enjoy it this much

I came with a friend who is really into cigars and honestly thought I would just tag along. Ended up enjoying the tour way more than expected. The people working there answered all our questions and it was interesting to see how many steps are involved before a cigar is ready. The smell of the tobacco inside the factory was something I'll remember. We left with a few cigars and a much better understanding of the process.

Watching skilled rollers craft cigars by hand

This was one of the highlights of my trip. I had smoked cigars before, but I never understood how much craftsmanship goes into making them. Seeing the rollers work by hand and learning about the different tobacco leaves was fascinating. The team was welcoming, the factory was well organized, and the experience felt authentic rather than staged for tourists. I would absolutely recommend the Blackbird Cigar Factory tour to anyone interested in cigars or Dominican culture.

Real factory, not touristy

This is a working cigar factory, not a tourist trap. Staff are passionate and you get a real sense of the process.
