PDR Cigars

Santiago, Dominican Republic · 2003'den beri

PDR Cigars was founded in the Dominican Republic's Santiago region by Abraham Flores, a blender and factory owner whose passion for tobacco runs as deep as the island's fertile valleys. The name derives from 'Palma de la Rica,' a nod to the richness of the land that nurtures the tobacco leaves used in each blend. Flores built his reputation by maintaining hands-on oversight of production, creating both single-origin expressions and complex multi-country blends that speak to a wide range of palates. The PDR portfolio spans a remarkable spectrum of strengths and wrapper varieties — from silky Connecticut shades offering creamy, mellow profiles to robust, full-bodied Maduros delivering dark chocolate, espresso, and lingering pepper. The 1215 series, named in homage to a significant moment in the brand's history, has become a benchmark for value-conscious enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on quality. Small Batch releases further cement PDR's reputation for thoughtful, limited experimentation. Each cigar rolled at the Santiago factory embodies the intersection of Dominican craftsmanship and Flores's relentless pursuit of consistency.
