Cigars in Paradise 2026

Event Overview

Cigars in Paradise 2026 is a luxury cigar, rum, and golf festival taking place from June 25–28, 2026, at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

The event is designed for premium cigar enthusiasts, golfers, collectors, luxury travelers, retailers, and industry professionals seeking a complete Caribbean cigar experience rather than a simple one-night tasting event.

The program combines three nights of resort accommodations, carefully curated cigar events, championship golf, premium rum and whisky pairings, educational seminars, beachfront hospitality, meals, beverages, airport transfers, and social gatherings with cigar manufacturers and fellow enthusiasts.

For those planning a high-end cigar trip to the Dominican Republic, this is one of the most comprehensive cigar event packages available in 2026.

Why This Event Is Different

Cigars in Paradise is not designed as a basic cigar lounge event. It is a destination-style experience built around the premium cigar lifestyle: relaxed conversations, resort comfort, Caribbean scenery, handcrafted tobacco, fine spirits, and access to renowned cigar brands.

Guests do not simply attend tastings; they spend several days in a carefully curated environment where golf, hospitality, cigars, and networking are all part of the same itinerary.

The setting is also a major part of the experience. Casa de Campo provides a private, elegant, vacation-oriented atmosphere. Attendees can move between golf courses, restaurants, marina evenings, seminars, pairing experiences, resort bars, and luxury accommodations while maintaining a relaxed upscale environment.

Venue: Casa de Campo Resort & Villas

Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is one of the Dominican Republic’s most recognized luxury resorts, located in La Romana.

The property is known for its private atmosphere, Caribbean views, marina, beaches, restaurants, championship golf courses, villas, hotel rooms, suites, and exclusive guest amenities.

For this event, the venue plays an especially important role because it supports both sides of the experience: serious cigar culture and relaxed Caribbean luxury. Guests can spend the day golfing, exploring the resort, attending seminars, or enjoying selected activities before moving into evening cigar events at The Marina Riverside and other resort venues.

Travel Tips

La Romana International Airport is the closest airport to Casa de Campo. Punta Cana and Santo Domingo airports can also be convenient options when private transportation is arranged.

Guests should bring resort-casual clothing for daytime activities, appropriate golf attire if they plan to play, and more elegant clothing for evening events.

Serious cigar smokers may also prefer to bring their own cutter, lighter, travel humidor, and favorite accessories.

Booking Advice

Early booking is recommended due to limited resort inventory, specific room categories, villa occupancy requirements, and golf package availability.

Before purchasing flights or arranging transportation, guests should confirm current availability, package inclusions, cancellation policies, room details, golf participation, and transfer schedules directly with the official event organizers.
