Relaxing and great

Published on Oct, 2024

Glen was a great host! The mamajuana shots were delicious. their coffee as well was spectacular! The cigars were so smooth and very high quality! Our tour guide, unfortunately I forgot his name, was so knowledgeable and taught us very great tips about cigars ! He recommended nothing but the best and they definitely were the best selections. Rolling our own cigar was also a neat experience! I will definitely visit again as it all felt very welcoming. Thank you !

Nice visit and really good cigars

Recommendable! All about cigar production in Puerto Plata

Published on Jul, 2024

Very friendly welcome, although we were a bit late. Guided tour of the cigar production in the house was very impressive. We were allowed to wrap our own cigar and learn a lot about the seeds, fermentation, storage of the leaves and subsequent production. Everyone received their own cigar. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience!

I visited the Vivonte Cigar shop/factory. From first contact over WhatsApp to the visit, it was great and friendly service without any pressure to buy anything. I contacted the via WhatsApp and got a quick response back, they arranged to send their taxi driver. I called when I wanted to go and got picked up in 10 minutes in an air conditioned car. Quick ride over and didn’t pay the guy yet, will pay when he takes me back when I call. The tour was quick, very small operation. Met the owner who was very friendly and nice. We chatted as I smoked a cigar and had coffee. It is a rainy day so perfect way to spent the time. I purchased a few cigars to take home, they packaged my selection to take home. No push to buy anything. Overall it was a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend if you want your enjoy a rainy day smoking a local cigar with nice and friendly people.

Cigars start to finish

Published on Jun, 2024

This made for an interesting stop. Husband smokes cigars so thought it would be great to see how it’s done. Booking was r Easy, Glenn was very good with communication and arranged a taxi to collect us from just outside the port for $40. Trip from port to the Cigar store was about 20 minutes each way. Had a great time and Glenn showed us the process and ended watching the ladies rolling the cigars by hand. Hubby tried the “” after their chat regarding what he likes and loved them, proceeded to buy 2 bundles of 30 - would recommend to anyone interested in cigars
