PDR Cigars, short for Pinar del Río, is a premier boutique manufacturer based in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Under the visionary leadership of master blender Abe Flores, the factory has evolved from a small-scale operation into one of the most respected “hidden gems” in the industry. Known for its meticulous attention to detail, PDR operates as a true small-batch workshop, handling everything from tobacco preservation to final box construction with a focus on consistency and artisanal quality.

The brand is distinguished by its use of the traditional Cuban entubado method, where each filler leaf is rolled into a tight tube to ensure a perfect draw and complex airflow. This commitment to old-world craftsmanship allows PDR to produce exceptionally balanced smokes that punch well above their weight class.

Their portfolio is anchored by the acclaimed 1878 Series, featuring diverse wrappers like Capa Madura and Capa Sun Grown. PDR gained significant global recognition in 2013 when three of its blends ranked in the World’s Top 25, cementing its status as an elite boutique maker. PDR continues to deliver sophisticated, high-scoring cigars for the modern enthusiast.
