What cigar to order from Dominican Republic?
This is my first post (aside from my intruductory one) so excuse me if i'm in the wrong place. My father lives in Santiago in the Dominican Republic and he is coming to visit me in about two weeks. I'm hoping you guys can help me decide which brand of cigar i should ask my dad to bring me? keep in mind my dad is a local and was born and raised in Santiago so i'm sure he knows where all the factories are. Just need to know what to ask for. Thanks for any info you can offer.

Re: What cigar to order from Dominican Republic?
Arturo Fuente is one of the bigger names out of DR and they make great cigars, especially the Don Carlos line. Opus X and God of Fire are their top of the line.

Tell him to go to a Santiago suburb called Tamboril. There he can find Tabacalera Ventura. The owners name is William and he makes cigars for many companies as well as his own. He is excellent and reasonable. Tell him I sent you.

Re: What cigar to order from Dominican Republic?
I would have to go with fuente as well and that is only IF he will be able to buy from the factory Ive heard that they ship directly to the US and cant buy anything directly at the company.

Re: What cigar to order from Dominican Republic?
I was surprised to learn recently from people who had been there, but apparently all the big cigar makers are in a "free trade zone", and are strictly for export only. Cigars have to be shipped out of the country and then re-imported, adding extra shipping costs and import duties. This is how it was explained to me, so that's all I know about it.
If he can find a duty-free shop along the way, and get you something you want for less than what you can already buy them, then you might have something.

Re: What cigar to order from Dominican Republic?
I'll second (or third or fourth) the Fuente recommendation. The Hemingway series was one of my first cigars, and I definitely wasn't disappointed.

Re: What cigar to order from Dominican Republic?
La flor, for the price they blow away all cigars. I like the ligero with the natural sumatran wrapper. Its very smooth and smokes almost like a conneticut wrapper, but you can taste that spice and it has that nic buzz that sneaks up on you
