The renowned Procigar Festival has officially announced the dates for its upcoming event, which is set to take place from 16th to 21st February 2025. This annual festival is a key event in the world of premium cigars, drawing enthusiasts from across the globe to celebrate the rich heritage of the Dominican Republic’s cigar industry.

The Procigar Festival offers a unique experience for cigar aficionados, providing an in-depth look at the Dominican cigar-making process. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the lush tobacco fields and renowned factories where some of the world’s finest cigars are produced. These tours offer a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and dedication that go into creating Dominican cigars, which are celebrated worldwide for their quality and flavour.

In addition to the field and factory visits, the festival features a variety of seminars and tastings, allowing participants to deepen their understanding of the cigar industry and explore the nuances of different blends and techniques. These educational sessions are complemented by nightly dinners, where guests can enjoy gourmet meals paired with premium cigars in a festive atmosphere that celebrates the Dominican Republic’s proud tradition of cigar making.

The festival begins in the south-eastern region of the Dominican Republic, before moving to Santiago de los Caballeros, often referred to as the cigar capital of the country. Santiago is home to many of the most prestigious cigar factories and is a fitting location for the latter part of the festival, where the heart of the Dominican cigar industry is located.

While the opening date for registration has not yet been announced, Procigar has indicated that this information will be released shortly. Those interested in attending the festival can keep an eye on the Procigar website for updates and additional details as they become available.

Procigar was established in 1992 by a group of the Dominican Republic’s leading cigar manufacturers with the goal of creating a unified standard of excellence. This standard aims to protect and enhance the reputation of the Dominican cigar industry while promoting the rich cultural heritage of the country, aptly nicknamed “Cigar Country.” The members of Procigar are committed to upholding these high standards, and many of them include the Procigar logo on the guarantee seals of their cigar boxes, signifying their adherence to the group’s stringent quality criteria.

As one of the most anticipated events in the cigar world, the Procigar Festival continues to be a celebration of craftsmanship, tradition, and community, offering participants a memorable experience in the heart of the Dominican cigar industry.
