Cigar Factory in San Pedro

[Mcinbrass]

Some years ago my wife and I went to San Pedro malecon to look around. On the way back we encountered a large cigar factory i believe it was on a corner (right hand side)while exiting the malecon area. Does anyone know the name and exact location of this factory. Your help is greatly appreciated as always.

If its the same one I am thinking of, its a storefront with rollers in the front and a large walk in humidor in the back end. They are located as you pass the port zone, on the right side, about 1/2klm from the turn circle entering San Pedro.
Can't recall the name but I buy there often.

This is good information, thanks. This factory produces fine cigars for a famous label Balmoral by Agio Cigars. I dont understand the nonsense being spewn on this board about access to these factories. You do not need a tout to get into the cigar factories in DR. While I do understand that the ones located in the free trade zones are probably closed to the public the ones that are not are wide open to the public. Perhaps you can not purchase with a name brand ring, but you can get the same cigar w/o it. There are those on this board who claim they are the only ones who have connections and can get you into the factories, rest assured you will pay a premium for this service and the "tout" will get his commission.

The location is a rolling factory, with a walk in humidor for street sales. They also manufacture a fine wood box and private label depending on order volumes. The "storefront" provides foot traffic to attract retail customers that happen upon and/or are referred to the place.
I have bought there on many occasions, and their cigars are well worth the trip.

how much would you pay for these cigars ? like say by the box? do you haggle with them on price as it is the custom there
