The climate and soil conditions in the Dominican are fantastic for tobacco growing.
Look at local makers, there are quite a few down there. My folks went a few years back, and they brought me back several. Most of them came from small one or two person operations where someone was blending and rolling them in a shop just off thr sidewalk. Some were really amazing, and some were OK, but even the worst ones were as good or better than what most of the major labels sell every day.
They also went to a plantation, and a factory while they were down there. Said it was a neat tour.
I'm envious of your trip, have fun!

Nicely done BH!
There is a donation box for the soldiers at one of the local shops, I usually toss a few of the house sticks in there when I make it to the shop for our folks in uniform (Rocky Patel makes them, or at least used to, I haven't asked in a while). I'm not sure if it is the same organization or not. The shop has a few letters of thanks on the wall from soldiers enjoying the cigars. Pretty darn cool.
