Have you ever wanted a $7 smoke for a under $2? If so, we have got a review of a great bundle cigar that will make your wallet love you!

The quality and variety of Cigar tobacco from the Dominican Republic has improved enormously in the past 20 years. The primary growing region is near the city of Santiago in the northern half of the country. Located in an agricultural region, this small city is also home to the majority of Dominican Cigar makers. Most Dominican tobacco is derived from Cuban seed varieties. Although not as strong, it is quite full flavored and lends itself to the creation of unusually complex blends.

More recently, you will hear arguments among aficionados over Dominican cigars versus Cuban cigars. Some feel that due to over farming Cuba has lost it’s edge over the rest of the world. Many Cuban cigar companies now have operations based in the Dominican Republic. A perfect example is Davidoff, one of the top brands in the world. In 1990 they completely moved out of Cuba and straight to the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. Other cigar manufacturers have followed suit and have at least partial operations in the Dominican:

Montecristo

Partagas

Romeo y Julieta

H. Upmann

Macanudo

Don Diego

Cohiba

But hey, you don’t have to take our word for it. Just come down here to the DR and look around yourself. It’s no coincidence that you’ll find a great cigar, world class cup of coffee, and the finest rum all in the same area. They were meant to be enjoyed together, and no where else will you find them in exceedingly good form as the Cibao Valley.
