“I came to the Dominican Republic to learn about the cigar industry before starting my own cigar business. The experience was extremely valuable.”
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.
“Learned a lot about how cigars are made”
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.
“Great guide and very easy to understand”
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.

常见问题
关于 E.P. Carrillo Factory 的常见问题
参观前常见问题的解答。
Are Puerto Plata cigar factory tours authentic or mainly tourist attractions?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
Most factory tours last 1.5–2 hours
Where do you operate tours?显示或隐藏答案
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?显示或隐藏答案
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.
