โExcellent experience overalโ
Excellent experience overall. The Palma Factory visit was a highlight, and the guide and gift set were excellent. Definitely an experience I would recommend
โI came to the Dominican Republic to learn about the cigar industry before starting my own cigar business. The experience was extremely valuable.โ
I came from the United States because I am preparing to start a cigar business and wanted to better understand Dominican cigar culture and the industry firsthand. Visiting the factories gave me a much better understanding of tobacco, the production process, quality control, and the work behind a premium cigar. I was able to ask questions, meet people from the industry, and experience the culture instead of only reading about it online. I left with a lot of useful knowledge and a much clearer understanding of the business. Very valuable experience for someone serious about getting into the cigar industry.
โGreat factory visit and cigar tasting. Really enjoyed the experience.โ
Had a great time visiting the factory and learning more about how the cigars are made. The cigar tasting was one of the highlights. We really enjoyed the cigars, the atmosphere, and getting to experience the factory up close. Definitely a great experience for anyone who enjoys cigars.
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

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.
