Culture Dominican Reserve

This series features a filler composed primarily of Dominican tobaccos, complemented by small amounts of tobacco from Nicaragua. The binder also comes from the Dominican Republic. The blend is rounded off with a light, golden Connecticut Shade wrapper from Honduras.

Culture Dominican: Mild and Harmonious with Caribbean Flair

In terms of strength, the Culture Dominican is quite mild and well-balanced, with lightly spicy nuances from the Nicaraguan tobacco. These cigars are packaged in traditional jute bundles, similar to those used for aging and storing raw tobacco. The finished cigars are aged for at least six months before being shipped and released for sale in Germany.

The Elegant Lightness of Culture Dominican Cigars

This is the lighter variant; the brand was also available as Culture Maduro. Currently, the stronger Culture Edition Aniversario from Nicaragua is available. The Culture cigar brand, like Casa Culinaria Cigars, is also a private label of the importer Paul Bugge from Villingen-Schwenningen. The company originated from a retail cigar shop that still exists today in Villingen-Schwenningen. Today, the business is run by father and son Höldke, who have built a strong reputation in the cigar import sector.
