Dominican cigars

Dominican cigars are reputed to be among the best in the world. They are made from tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic, a country with an ideal climate and fertile soil for this plant. Dominican cigars are distinguished by their mild, aromatic flavour, complex aroma and quality of manufacture. In this article, we'll take a look at the characteristics, history and most famous brands of these exceptional cigars.

How are Dominican cigars made?

A Dominican cigar is made up of three parts: the wrapper, the binder and the filler. The wrapper, which gives the cigar its visual appearance, is the outer leaf. The binder reinforces the cigar's structure and contributes to its combustion. The filler, which is the heart of the cigar, is the mixture of chopped tobacco leaves that determines the cigar's strength and flavour. What makes Dominican cigars so unique is that all these parts are produced from tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic, giving them their own identity and homogeneity.

Dominican cigars are made from tobacco that is harvested by hand from fields in the Dominican Republic. The tobacco leaves are then dried, fermented and aged in humid cellars for several years. This process develops the flavours and reduces the bitterness of the tobacco. Dominican cigars are hand-rolled by expert torcedores. The torcedores use wooden moulds to give the cigars their cylindrical shape, then cut and glue them with a vegetable gum. The cigars are then placed in wooden or metal boxes, called humidors, which maintain the optimum humidity level for their preservation.

Casa Magna: launched in 2008 by Manuel Quesada, a Dominican master torcedor, and Nestor Plasencia, a Nicaraguan tobacco producer, this brand is the fruit of an exceptional collaboration between two cigar experts.

Ashton VSG Robusto

Very traditional in its format, this Robusto, with a blend of tobacco selected by Carlos Fuente Jr., is relatively spicy when unlit. The first puffs are slightly peppery giving way to coffee. The firm and white ash is a sign of good construction. The aromatic development is very interesting and takes place gradually. However, this cigar requires a slightly lower than average humidity rate to offer perfect combustion.
