I visited the Vivonte Cigar shop/factory. From first contact over WhatsApp to the visit, it was great and friendly service without any pressure to buy anything. I contacted the via WhatsApp and got a quick response back, they arranged to send their taxi driver. I called when I wanted to go and got picked up in 10 minutes in an air conditioned car. Quick ride over and didn’t pay the guy yet, will pay when he takes me back when I call.
The tour was quick, very small operation. Met the owner who was very friendly and nice. We chatted as I smoked a cigar and had coffee. It is a rainy day so perfect way to spent the time.
I purchased a few cigars to take home, they packaged my selection to take home. No push to buy anything.
Overall it was a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend if you want your enjoy a rainy day smoking a local cigar with nice and friendly people.

This made for an interesting stop. Husband smokes cigars so thought it would be great to see how it’s done. Booking was r
Easy, Glenn was very good with communication and arranged a taxi to collect us from just outside the port for $40. Trip from port to the Cigar store was about 20 minutes each way. Had a great time and Glenn showed us the process and ended watching the ladies rolling the cigars by hand. Hubby tried the “” after their chat regarding what he likes and loved them, proceeded to buy 2 bundles of 30 - would recommend to anyone interested in cigars

I asked to visit a premium cigar factory and happened to learn from the hotel about De Leon Cigars Sylvio picked me up with my son in law and visited his shop. It was a beautiful experience very friendly got a smoke and enjoyed the the medium taste and the explanation of his passion from A to Z. We got a few boxes back and still in touch with him. Can't wait to visit again in the very near future.

My husband and I had such a wonderful time at Vivonte Cigar. Glen, the owner, spent several hours chatting sharing stories. It felt like meeting a friend. I really enjoyed the tour of his factory and even rolled a cigar! His hospitality along with his staff is top notch! Immediately upon arrival we were provided with amazing cigars suited to our own preference and severed amazing Dominican coffee. Try the Canadian whiskey, Dominican coffee, and mamajuana! His cigars are extremely high quality and the prices are very reasonable. One tip, bring cash to purchase the cigars that way you can avoid the high taxes on credit card purchases in the Dominican Republic.
Also, arrange travel through Glen. Taxis in the DR can be very expensive and not the most reliable to take you where you want to go. Glen contracts out with a gentleman named Miguel. He was prompt, reasonable, and reliable.

Glen (the President/Owner) was great! He's has an amazing knowledge of cigars and makes you feel extremely comfortable in the story/factory. Smoking one of his cigars makes the visit very memorable.

I went there alone, the place is easy to find, about 400 meters walk from the cathedral (main square). Excellent friendly advice, I bought the house brand for 3 US dollars each!!!! Very good price for a good medium cigar. Of course there are other price categories with excellent quality, Glen is a cool guy and gives very experienced advice!!! Please do not buy overpriced cigars in the tourist resort or on the beach!!! Here cigars are sold for 30/30 US dollars and for that you can get 10 from Glen.

We had a wonderful cigar experience with Glen and his staff at Vivonte Cigars. The cigars were phenomenal and the company was even better. We look forward to making our way back to Puerta Plata again soon!

Was visiting Puerto Plata via cruise ship. I sent Glen Hamilton an email a week or two in advance, and he set us up with a taxi and private tour. Glen, the owner, is a very warm and welcoming fellow who met us at the door and personally showed us around his operation. We sat and chatted while enjoyed cigars and beer in the lounge. Prices are very reasonable and I bought a box to bring home to Canada. If I am ever anywhere near Puerto Plata again, I absolutely will visit again.
**Caution: Many predatory competitors will work hard to get you to the wrong place. If you want to visit Vivonte, ONLY trust Glen's driver and ONLY go into the shop in the picture.

I have been in Puerto Plata some days ago, by cruise. Before to get there, a few days before, i wrote an email to Glen and he quickly answered to me. When I arrived there, He was waiting for me. He showed to us his labor, how they make the cigars and the aging room, after that we enjoyed a cigar toghether and talking a couple hours. He has been very kind and nice with us, I highly raccomend it. What else? Great cigars and great people!!!!

If you want a great tour go see Glen, he is great. The tour was informative, and very relaxing. My husband and I were there for a few hours. Glen and his staff are so friendly, also the Cigars are exceptional.
