What visitors are saying about LFD
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!
“Pure craftsmanship.”
Watching the rollers work with such focus and artistry was hypnotic. You can feel the pride in every part of the factory. The guide explained everything clearly, and we even got to meet some of the artisans. LFD sets the bar high for what a premium cigar truly means.
“For lovers of cigars and culture.”
This tour is the perfect blend of culture, craftsmanship, and storytelling. You don’t just see cigars being made — you understand the heart behind them. The small group format made it easy to ask questions, and every part of the experience felt premium and genuine.
“Peaceful and powerful.”
I didn’t expect a cigar factory tour to feel emotional, but this one did. Seeing how generations of craftsmanship come together in one place gave me chills. The team’s passion was inspiring, and the setting itself was beautiful. Highly recommend it — even if you’re not a cigar smoker.
“Romantic and fascinating.”
My partner and I took this tour as a date idea, and it was way more romantic than we imagined. The blend of history, smell of aged tobacco, and calm energy made it feel almost cinematic. You leave understanding why LFD is one of the best in the world.
“More personal than I expected.”
Our small group made the whole experience relaxed and personal. The guide took time to answer questions, share the family’s story, and make sure everyone understood the process. It felt like stepping into history — passionate people doing what they love.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs about LFD
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.
