La aurora established in 1902 by León Jimenes which is known for making some of the finest cigar in the world is considered to be one of the oldest cigar companies in the Dominican Republic. Dominican cigars did not gain popularity till after the U.S. embargo was passed which was in the 1960. One of the first companies to popularize Dominican cigars is Davidoff. Davidoff cigars which originated in Cuba were known for having some of the most beautiful, richest, smoothest testing cigars. Davidoff was one of the first brands that set out to change what the world thought of the tobacco production in the Dominican Republic. Their main objective was to create cigars not similar to Cubans, but surpass them in every aspect. Many cigar aficionados believe that Davidoff has achieved it.

I like separate this in three categories a mild, medium, full bodied. A mild Dominican cigar is smooth flavorful smoke, No harsh after taste, has a creamy tone. This kind of cigar is great when smoking in the morning, on the golf course, seasonal cigar smokers, and beginners. Some the mild Dominican cigars that have be rated very well are Diamond Crown by Arturo Fuente, La Aurora Preferido, AVO Classics, Davidoff classic, Montecristo white label, Ashton classic, and Zino Platinum Scepter . A medium Dominican cigar usually has bolder flavor, very rich, and also a little spicy note, this kind cigar is great for a person who likes flavor, but not the bold spiciness of a cigar, also its good with a nice port, scotch, or cognac. Here some my favorites and high rated medium bodied Dominican cigars AVO 787, Ashton cabinet, Davidoff Aniversario, Romeo y Juliet Edicion Limitada, and CAO Vision. A full Dominican cigar usually has very bold flavor, mixed with a good amount of spiciness, and some complexity. This is great for a person that’s an aficionado of cigars; it goes really well after good a dinner. Some of the favorites by the cigar aficionados are Opus X by Arturo Fuente, Ashton VSG,

Davidoff Millennium blend, La Aurora 100 anos, La Flor Dominicana Coronado or Double Ligero, and Cohiba Puro Dominicana. Now that you know the difference between each these Dominican cigars, you can go and choose one and enjoy your relaxation as you smoke away on a fine Dominican cigar.
