What visitors are saying about La Palma Cigar Factory Tour in the Dominican Republic

Stories from cigar lovers who have toured with Boca2Boca.

la galera cigar factory

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.

Inside La Palma Cigar Factory

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.

I’ve traveled a lot, but this La Palma cigar tour in Santiago was unforgettable — from the rolling room to the farm, everyone truly loved what they do.

Unforgettable day

I’ve traveled a lot but this tour stands out. From the rolling room to the farm visit, every person we met loved what they do. La Palma is the soul of Santiago — unforgettable experience.

can’t stop thinking about it

We did the La Palma tour last week, and it’s still all I talk about. seeing how cigars go from farm to factory to smoke lounge — wow. Dominican Republic has something truly special here.

El guía explicó cómo cada hoja pasa por fermentación

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.

Me encantó ver cómo La Palma produce su propio tabaco en Tamboril

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 😂

si te gustan los cigarros, no te pierdas La Palma

de lo mejor en RD

si te gustan los cigarros, no te pierdas La Palma. Es tradición, cultura, familia. Jochy Blanco es una leyenda viva. increíble ver cómo controlan todo desde la semilla hasta el cigarro.

La Galera Maduro straight from production — unforgettable.

A dream for cigar lovers

They show you every part of the process. the aroma in the aging room is incredible. you end the day smoking a fresh La Galera Maduro straight from production — unforgettable.

Unreal tour

The guide took us from the curing barn to rolling room to tasting lounge. Every step was explained so simply. ended up buying a box of La Galera Habano. insane flavor.
