Dominican Cigars

Cigar lovers everywhere know that the Dominican Republic has replaced Cuba as a prime exporter of cigars. Tobacco is the Dominican Republics oldest crop. It was being cultivated by the Taino Indians before Columbus arrived, and it has long been a stable agricultural export. The United States is Dominican Republics number one importer of cigars. They also are also sold to Europe in large quantities. Equal (and most say Dominican Cigars are better quality) to the Cuban cigar.

Make sure to stop in and see a cigar being rolled. Even if you do not smoke the smell is wonderful. If you do smoke be sure and buy a good cigar and enjoy it with a good glass of red wine, dark rum, or cup of strong Dominican coffee. If you have never smoked a cigar before remember, DO NOT INHALE. Breathe in through your nose, while gently pulling the smoke into your mouth, hold it there for a second, let the smoke dance around the inside of your mouth, then gently exhaling again.

Some say it is bad luck to tap off the ash on the end, so make a game out of it and see how long your ash can get. Sit back and enjoy the Dominican sabor (flavor).

The DR got eight of the Top 25 spots. Cuba came in second with seven cigars. The #1 rating this year went to Santiago-produced Fuente Opus X Double Corona.

The cigars from Dominican Republic that placed are: Fuente Opus X (#1), Aurora Preferidos Connecticut No. 1 (#6), La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel (#7), Fuente's Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Corona Gorda (#8), Bolivar Churchill (#11), Arturo Fuente Best-Seller (#12), Zino Platinum Sceptor Series Chubby Tubos (#21) and Macanudo Hyde Park Cafe (#23).

Fuente cigars are hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. Only 75 hand-rolled cigars are made a day. "The cigar is the pinnacle of full flavor" (Cigar Aficionado review). This cigar sells for around $14.50 in the States. Since it is rolled in limited numbers only 65,000 cigars were made in 2005. Thus the demand far exceeds the supply of this fine Dominican Republic cigar..
