Top notch cigar tour with amazing hospitality! - My husband and I had such a wonderful time at Vivonte Cigar. Glen, the owner, spent several hours chatting sharing stories. It felt like meeting a friend. I really enjoyed the tour of his factory and even rolled a cigar! His hospitality along with his staff is top notch! Immediately upon arrival we were provided with amazing cigars suited to our own preference and severed amazing Dominican coffee. Try the Canadian whiskey, Dominican coffee, and mamajuana! His cigars are extremely high quality and the prices are very reasonable. One tip, bring cash to purchase the cigars that way you can avoid the high taxes on credit card purchases in the Dominican Republic. Also, arrange travel through Glen. Taxis in the DR can be very expensive and not the most reliable to take you where you want to go. Glen contracts out with a gentleman named Miguel. He was prompt, reasonable, and reliable.

A Great Cigar Experience! - Glen (the President/Owner) was great! He's has an amazing knowledge of cigars and makes you feel extremely comfortable in the story/factory. Smoking one of his cigars makes the visit very memorable.

Best cigars in Puerto Plata, price/performance ratio 💥👍💥 - I went there alone, the place is easy to find, about 400 meters walk from the cathedral (main square). Excellent friendly advice, I bought the house brand for 3 US dollars each!!!! Very good price for a good medium cigar. Of course there are other price categories with excellent quality, Glen is a cool guy and gives very experienced advice!!! Please do not buy overpriced cigars in the tourist resort or on the beach!!! Here cigars are sold for 30/30 US dollars and for that you can get 10 from Glen.

Great cigars, great experience! - We had a wonderful cigar experience with Glen and his staff at Vivonte Cigars. The cigars were phenomenal and the company was even better. We look forward to making our way back to Puerta Plata again soon!

Visiting Vivonte cigars is great value. Glen Hamilton is a great host. For best results, contact him directly. - Was visiting Puerto Plata via cruise ship. I sent Glen Hamilton an email a week or two in advance, and he set us up with a taxi and private tour. Glen, the owner, is a very warm and welcoming fellow who met us at the door and personally showed us around his operation. We sat and chatted while enjoyed cigars and beer in the lounge. Prices are very reasonable and I bought a box to bring home to Canada. If I am ever anywhere near Puerto Plata again, I absolutely will visit again. **Caution: Many predatory competitors will work hard to get you to the wrong place. If you want to visit Vivonte, ONLY trust Glen's driver and ONLY go into the shop in the picture.

Great experience - I have been in Puerto Plata some days ago, by cruise. Before to get there, a few days before, i wrote an email to Glen and he quickly answered to me. When I arrived there, He was waiting for me. He showed to us his labor, how they make the cigars and the aging room, after that we enjoyed a cigar toghether and talking a couple hours. He has been very kind and nice with us, I highly raccomend it. What else? Great cigars and great people!!!! Marco &Jenny by Italy

Best Cigar Tour ever see Glen at Domincan Cigar Factory - If you want a great tour go see Glen, he is great. The tour was informative, and very relaxing. My husband and I were there for a few hours. Glen and his staff are so friendly, also the Cigars are exceptional.

Suzie rolling along - My wife and I had a great time. At first we discussed the type of cigars I liked. I like a full bodied to madero smoke. After some discussion we lit one up and started the tour. The best part was watching my wife being shown how to roll cigars. She did pretty good job and even though she does not smoke she enjoyed the experience. I would recommend this tour to any one. We finished our cigars and got a taxi ride back to the ship. I should mention as part of the tour the taxi ride to and from the ship was included The driver also made a couple of short stops on the way back to the ship. Thank you to every one at Viator cigar factory

Cigar Tour - We contacted the owner, Glen, via email a few days before our arrival to see if he could accommodate us at his factory the day our cruise ship was in port. He was easy to contact and responded quickly that he would be available. He gave us a very informative tour showing us his cigar aging room and one of his rollers was there to show us how they roll the cigar. He explained the whole process from seed to cigar explaining how the manufacturing business works. He has a great passion for his business and wants his customers to have a great experience. His humidor is filled with his top cigars and after smoking one of his cigars my husband purchased a box with no sales pressure and was a very happy man that day. We highly recommend that you stop by when in Puerto Plata.

Give it a try - We had a blast, loved the history of the trade and knowledge shared. Had a few drinks, got a great cigar and made a few friends. Try the #12, it’s a great cigar.
