In order to insure the consistency and quality of our cigars, we grow our own crops in the El Cibao valley, the prime tobacco growing are in the Dominican Republic. Our employees maintain and harvest the leaves under the watchful eye of our agronomist, Iturbides Zalavidar.

The aging of the leaves is a meticulous process that our supervisors monitor on a dailey basis. over a two year period or until Senor Zalividar judges that the tobacco is ready. Only after careful evaluation of the leaves is the is the aged tobacco taken from our own aging barns and brought to our cigar factory. At the factory, the tobacco leaves are sorted and blended by our Maestro to create the various hand made cigars by the old
fashioned, time honored hand made method of their forefathers (Totalamente a mano).
The result is a smooth draw and a firm feel.  Our factory employs 12 experienced
supervisors to over-see the production and control the quality of the product. The finished cigar goes through various stages of humidification and further aging before shipment to our distribution center in the United States. We have total control of all our cigar ingredients and production. This control starts from the planting of seedlings and ends with the wrapping of the boxes. All of our tobacco needs are grown by us or contracted with select farms that Senor Zalvidar monitors. We do not "spot buy" our tobacco in the open market, nor do we have any other factory co-pack for us. We even have our own cedar box manufacturing facility that insulates us from the box production shortage that has plagued the industry for the past two years. Our vertical integration results in
a consistent quality product that consumers can count on, smoke after smoke.
