Domenico Cigars Plaza Prisas Cortecito, very decent cigars made right there

Google search and see their website

Also a cigar factory in LaRomana which is, I believe may be on the normal tour by bus from Punta Cana to LaRomana

I think there is also a factory or store with rollers producing/selling Juan Clemente in Punta Cana but the website is "down". I had hoped to go there, "La Perla Dominicana", and to Domenico to get some local cigars. Does anyone know about the availability of Juan Clemente in Punta Cana?

Your very best bet is to tour the Tabacalera GArcía there in La Romana. It might be a package tour but it is very good.

Otherwise come up to Santiago where we really make a lot of cigars and I'll give you a tour you won't forget!!

Hillbilly gives a great tour. Interesting sights, sounds, and smells.

If you make it to the Santiago area, don't pass it up.

I just visited the Leon Jimenes factory in Santiago two weeks ago, very nice tour and bought a box of 25 Aurora Robustos for RD$1650. Hilbilly, thanks for the directions in another thread.
