The popularity of Dominican tobacco that is used in so many of our favorite cigars dates back to 1959 when Carlos Torano Sr. first introduced Cuban seeds to the great people of the Dominican Republic. Ever since then, the Dominican Republic has been deemed “Tobacco Land”, by having valuable pieces of land all over the country that provides unique climate and soil.

The use of Dominican Tobacco hasn’t always been easily accessible like tobaccos from Ecuador or Nicaragua. But within the last 10-15 years, there has been a spike in the production of cigars that use tobacco from the great Dominican Republic. If you’d like to know some of our favorite Dominican wrapped cigars we’ve enjoyed over time, check out this article as well!

So, without further ado, here is our 2021 list of some delectable cigars that utilize tobaccos for either the wrapper, binder, or filler that hail from the Dominican Republic. Don’t forget to get this limited-time sampler in the link below today.

One of the most sought-after and celebrated cigars in the industry is the first cigar from the Dominican Republic we’ll be going over today. The Arturo Fuente Hemingway was named after American novelist Ernest Hemingway to celebrate his life.

The Perfecto shape wasn’t always the go-to popular shape. It was extremely difficult to create in the 1980s until Carlos Fuente Sr. found old perfecto molds in a warehouse. He brought the molds back to his factory and ended up teaching his rollers to make this difficult smoke.

This 7 x 48 medium-bodied smoke comes is cloaked in a Cameroon wrapper and has binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic. Flavor notes you may detect while smoking the Hemingway are earth, wood, cinnamon, leather, cocoa, and baking spices on the backend. These highly-respected cigars are some of the best to ever come out of the Dominican Republic to this day.

Crafted by Carlos Fuente Jr. as a celebration of Ashton Cigars’ 20 years in the business, the Ashton Estate Sun Grown is quite festive and captivating.

The Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute is one of those rare Dominican puros you don’t often see floating around the industry.

They celebrated this milestone by re-releasing the return of a wildly popular limited-edition line that first came out in 2002.
