What guests are saying about Dominican Cigar Business Introduction for Lounge and Store Owners
Stories from travelers who planned their experience with Boca2Boca.
โGreat cigar and rum pairing with good food and interesting history.โ
The cigar, rum, and food pairing was excellent, and I especially enjoyed learning about the history behind the products. The tasting was conducted in Spanish and seems better suited to people who already have some experience with cigars. Beginners should be aware that there is not much instruction on basics such as how to cut, light, or properly smoke a cigar. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, especially for cigar enthusiasts.

โExcellent experience overalโ
Excellent experience overall. The Black Bird Factory visit was a highlight, and the guide and gift set were excellent. Transportation can be better. Definitely an experience I would recommend

โLearned a lot about how cigars are madeโ
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.
โGreat guide and very easy to understandโ
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.
โLoved seeing the rollers at workโ
Really nice visit. Watching the rollers work was my favorite part. The staff was friendly and the cigars were great.
โGreat way to spend a morning in Santiagoโ
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.
