The production of the tobacco.
Planting of tobacco in the Dominican Republic for the development of cigars is more than an economic activity; it is a process of tradition and culture. To which, with the passage of time, techniques of land preparation, planting, greenhouse and seed production, have been added. However, the best local cigars are still handcrafted by experts, with skills and knowledge that is passed on from generation to generation by the various farmers or that is learn under the supervision of Tobacco Institute of the Dominican Republic.
The development of the Dominican cigar
The quality of the cigars is not reached by just wrapping any sheet of tobacco. The materials used are carefully selected from different types of tobacco, from leafs with different taste and odor. Different leaves are used for the binders and yet other leaves for the wrappers. Each cigar brand has his own, secret, recipes.
The production of the Dominican cigar
A cigar is composed of three main parts: the filler (the selection of tobacco leafs), the wrapper and the binder. The parts are combined and rolled on a table -called crooked table-, which contains the key auxiliary tools, the guillotine, the vegetable gum, press and molds. It takes years to master the skill of rolling a world class cigar. The title of "master roller" is so demanding, that it only can be reached after 20 years of experience. Combine this craftsmanship with the sophisticated techniques of land preparation, planting, greenhouse and seed production, and you get a quality product that can rival the best Cuban cigars.
