Visit the facilities of the centennial factory and get an inside look at the La Aurora operation. History, tradition and innovation are three elements that characterize every square meter of the facility. We are talking about the number one activity recommended by TripAdvisor in Santiago de los Caballeros –the world’s largest tobacco area also known by the Valle del Cibao. The Factory Tour begins when you arrive at the La Aurora store. After a brief presentation and video you will be guided through the different areas of the factory. Primary Process- This is where you get to see firsthand the different types of tobacco and the aging process. Here you will see and learn how various tobaccos are sorted. Deveining - The removal of the veins is a critical process of preparing the tobacco, and we will show you how it is done. Bunching & Rolling - Constructing a cigar is a 3 step process. See our skilled rollers bunch, bind and roll our premium cigars. Packing - Once cigars have been rolled they undergo further aging. Packing is the final stop before cigars are shipped abroad. There is also a museum tracing the company’s 110 years and a tobacco ranch where you have the opportunity to know the history of tobacco from the Orinoco basin. An unforgettable experience.
