Castillo de Reyes Cigars

Castillo de Reyes Cigars represent the revival of traditional Dominican craftsmanship in its purest form. These hand-rolled premium cigars from Santiago de los Caballeros combine centuries-old production techniques with modern blending expertise. Medium-bodied and harmoniously balanced, they develop a creamy, nutty profile with refined notes of chocolate and a natural tobacco sweetness—a well-rounded smoking experience that appeals to both beginners and seasoned aficionados.

Artisanal Perfection from Santiago de los Caballeros

Behind the brand is experienced master blender Felix Reyes, who, together with a small team of skilled torcedores—many of whom previously worked at Arturo Fuente—reinterprets the spirit of Dominican cigar craftsmanship. In his “Garage Workshop” manufactory, all tobaccos are fermented in-house and aged to perfection. The result: cigars with exceptional ash stability, flawless construction, and remarkable aromatic depth—a testament to true boutique quality, produced in small batches by, according to the manufacturer, just 10 torcedores.

Castillo de Reyes 3F – Intensity and Balance Perfected

The Castillo de Reyes 3F (Toro, 50x5.5) from the blue box originates from the fertile soils of the Cibao Valley, where sun and breeze create the ideal microclimate for premium tobacco. This variant is medium- to full-bodied, offering flavors of dark chocolate, delicate bitterness, and a subtle sweetness that makes every draw a moment of enjoyment. Thanks to the quality manager’s 32 years of experience—he also previously worked at Fuente—each batch impresses with remarkable consistency and depth. Unfortunately, the manufacturer provides only limited information; both the brochures sent to us and extensive online research have not revealed any further details.
