Congressman 328

Congressman 328 is the flagship cigar brand created by Francisco Matos Mancebo, one of the most influential and respected figures in the Dominican tobacco industry. The brand represents decades of experience, leadership, and commitment to the development of Dominican premium cigars.

The name Congressman 328 holds a special meaning for its founder. During his time as a member of the Dominican National Congress, Francisco Matos occupied Office 328. Years later, he chose to immortalize that number through a cigar brand that symbolizes both his public service career and his lifelong passion for tobacco and premium cigars.

Handcrafted in Tamboril, the heart of the Dominican cigar industry, Congressman 328 cigars are produced under a boutique philosophy focused on quality, consistency, and attention to detail. Every cigar reflects the richness of Dominican tobacco and the craftsmanship of artisans who continue to preserve a tradition recognized throughout the world.

Unlike large-scale commercial productions, Congressman 328 embraces limited production runs that allow for strict standards in construction, tobacco selection, and quality control. This approach has helped the brand earn recognition among enthusiasts who appreciate boutique cigars with a unique identity and an authentic story behind every band.

The brand embodies the same values that Francisco Matos has championed throughout his career: integrity, tradition, hard work, and pride in Dominican tobacco. More than a cigar line, Congressman 328 is a tribute to an industry that has carried the name of the Dominican Republic to the highest levels of the premium cigar world.

Today, Congressman 328 is regarded as one of the most representative boutique brands in Francisco Matos’ portfolio and a direct expression of his legacy within the Dominican tobacco industry. Every cigar tells a story of tradition, leadership, and a passion for producing some of the finest tobacco in the world.
