Artista Cigars – A Family Business with an Artistic Vision
The brand Cigars and the tobacco factory behind it share the same name: Artista Cigars. This family-run company is based in Tamboril, a town near Santiago de los Caballeros, known as the cigar capital of the world. Nowhere else will you find as many renowned manufacturers as in this region.
The history of Artista Cigars began over 60 years ago. Today, the company is led by Radhames “Ram” Rodriguez, the founder’s grandson. Ram renamed the factory Artista Cigars, inspired by the belief that crafting cigars is an art form. With an impressive 500 hectares of proprietary tobacco plantations, innovative hybrid cultivations, and an experimental approach, Artista Cigars ranks among the leading producers in the Cibao Valley.
The Cibao Valley: Where Tradition Meets Innovation
Artista Cigars combines decades of Dominican cigar-making expertise with modern ideas. Since its founding in 1956, the company has continuously evolved and is now synonymous with quality and creativity. Located in Tamboril, an area with ideal conditions for tobacco cultivation, Artista produces a wide range of exceptional cigars.
Outstanding series include the elegant Harvest & Midnight and the creative Studio Works Paperboy. Also popular is the Artista Art 56, offering classic quality at affordable prices. The Rugged Country Series sets innovative trends, such as the proprietary tobacco hybrid T13.
