Domenico: Cigars from the Caribbean
Since 2001, the small cigar manufactory Domenico has been producing its hand-rolled cigars in Punta Cana. On the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, tourism dominates the economy, while *tabacaleras* are rather rare in this area. Visitors from North America and Europe, in particular, enjoy the nearly 50 kilometers of sandy beaches. Those looking for the classic Caribbean atmosphere will find the perfect destination in Punta Cana – and share it with many other guests, as all-inclusive hotel packages are in high demand worldwide.
A vacation here can easily be spent within the hotel resort – but it’s worth exploring the surroundings. The Dominican Republic offers much more than just breathtaking beaches. Cigar enthusiasts can visit the Domenico manufactory in Punta Cana and gain insight into the art of cigar making.
Craftsmanship with Attention to Detail
At Domenico, true craftsmanship takes center stage. Compared to larger *tabacaleras*, where workers produce up to 200 cigars per day, the daily production here is limited to a maximum of 120. This means more time for precision and quality – each vitola is crafted with exceptional care.
Domenico Cigars: Swiss Quality in the Caribbean
The manufactory is run by a Swiss team and is known for its family-like atmosphere. Local cigar rollers contribute their craftsmanship and experience, while the tobacco comes from the fertile Cibao Valley – the most important growing region in the Dominican Republic. The result: harmonious cigars with a refined aroma – perfect for relaxing moments on vacation or at home.
