Since 2001, handmade Dominican cigars. Limited production, personal oversight.
When I began this journey, my goal was simple: to create cigars that I would truly love to smoke — flavorful, authentic, and crafted with care.
Every tobacco bale is hand-selected and every cigar is personally inspected. Alongside Ruth De León, we pour our hearts into each cigar.
In 1998, a modest cigar store in El Cortecito let guests smoke while watching leaves become cigars.
In 2001, Ruth De León and Sylvio Buchschatz founded the manufactory.
Every cigar is blended by Mr. Buchschatz and rolled by seasoned artisans.
