Don Diego Classic

The brand Don Diego was originally produced on the Canary Islands, and it was the first brand initiated there directly after the US-American embargo. Since the 1960s, they have been hand-rolled (totalmente a mano) in the Dominican Republic and have now become popular classics.

With their bright, silky-shimmering Connecticut Shade wrapper and their Dominican-Brazilian filler, they have seduced generations of aficionados with their very mild, uncomplicated taste. The Don Diego is the perfect cigar for both beginners and experienced smokers who seek a gentle yet full flavor.

It is excellently crafted, mild, perfectly balanced, and full-bodied. Combustion and aroma are, of course, at a world-class level as well. One of the best Dominican cigars, offering a rich flavor with a light pepper and nutty note.

Exiled Cuban Pepe Garcia developed the Don Diego, and today, the uncompromising quality is ensured by José Seijas at the Tabacalera de Garcia. This factory is part of Altadis and also produces cigars like Santa Damiana, Dominican Estates, and the American-Dominican versions of Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, and Trinidad.
