Stories from cigar lovers who have toured with Boca2Boca.

Reviews

Hands-on and unhurried from start to finish

As a cigar enthusiast for fifteen years, I've done several factory tours. This one stands out because there's no rushing. We spent real time at each station. One of the rollers actually let us try rolling a cigar ourselves—turned out terrible, but unforgettable. That's the kind of access you don't get everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs about Tabacalera Flor De Tamboril

Answers to common questions before your visit.

Are Puerto Plata cigar factory tours authentic or mainly tourist attractions?Toggle answer visibility

Puerto Plata cigar factory tours typically take place in real, operating factories. Visitors can learn about Dominican tobacco, see parts of the cigar-making process, and interact with knowledgeable staff in an authentic production environment rather than a staged attraction.

Are cigar factory tours in Puerto Plata close to the cruise port?Toggle answer visibility

Yes. One of the advantages of cigar factory tours in Puerto Plata is their proximity to the cruise port. Unlike factories located in other regions of the Dominican Republic, these tours avoid long drives and are easier to fit into a limited cruise schedule.

Is it safe to do a cigar factory tour during a Puerto Plata cruise stop?Toggle answer visibility

Yes. Cigar factory tours in Puerto Plata are considered a safe and reliable activity for cruise passengers. They are located in accessible areas, operate on predictable schedules, and are commonly chosen by visitors looking for a low-risk excursion during their time ashore.

How much time do I need for a cigar factory tour in Puerto Plata?Toggle answer visibility

Most cigar factory tours in Puerto Plata take between 60 and 90 minutes. This makes them a convenient option for cruise passengers who want a cultural experience while still allowing plenty of time to return to the ship or explore other nearby attractions.

Are cigar factory tours available during a Puerto Plata cruise stop?Toggle answer visibility

Yes. Puerto Plata offers cigar factory tours that are well suited for cruise passengers. These experiences are typically short, easy to access from the port, and designed to fit within standard cruise stop schedules without requiring long travel times.

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.
