Santa Fe little cigars are Dominican now
The climate in the Dominican Republic is similar to that of neighboring Cuba, the land is equally favorable for growing tobacco, and Santa Fe little cigars produced in the Dominican Republic are considered the true embodiment of perfect quality all over the world. Despite the fact that the first tobacco plantations were founded in Santo Domingo in 1521 (50 years before the first Cuban plantations), the unstable political situation on the island during the 19th century slowed down the development of cigar production. The position of the planters of the Dominican Republic improved markedly with the independence of the island in 1845. For a long time, cigars from the Dominican Republic enjoyed only very moderate success: the shadow of the Havana cigar continued to hover over the most beautiful lands, almost forgotten by manufacturers.
Unconditional success and the highest recognition of connoisseurs of cigars from all over the world, Dominican Santa Fe little cigars have received since the beginning of the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba, when famous Cuban manufacturers moved their production of cigars here. The US embargo on Cuba hastened the resurgence of cigar production in the Dominican Republic. Since 1995, the Dominican Republic, producing about 93 million high-quality cigars, has defended its right to be the number one exporter of hand-rolled cigars, among which, the Santa Fe little cigars were promoted as well.
