Cigars from Dominican Republic

Dominican tobacco is grown in the Cibao Valley along the Yaque del Norte river, and is the mildest of the three major origins. Piloto Cubano and Olor fillers give a smooth, creamy character that suits a cigar before dinner rather than after it. This is the origin to choose if strength is not what you are after.

Soil
Alluvial loam over limestone in the Yaque del Norte basin, the Cibao valley
Character
Cream, toasted almond, white pepper, nutmeg, cedar
Curing
Slow, gentle fermentation, which is what gives the leaf its smoothness

Makers:Arturo Fuente, Avo, La Flor Dominicana, Vega Fina
