Do NOT miss this gem! - Easily the best cigars I have every smoked! The factory is small, boutique and very much a craft production outfit, but it is intimate, hands on and the team at Vivonté are excellent. Needless to say, I placed a large order to send home!

Great way to spend a day on Puerto Plata DR - What a great day. The communication from Austin was great. Then add in Carlos (our driver) was clear, easy. Our tour was very knowledgeable. We were able to roll our own cigar. Learned a lot! Hanging out afterwards with a cigar and a cocktail just made it all a great day. We took our driver Carlos out for coffee afterwards. Just do it! Get to know the locals as well. THANKS for a very memorable day!!!!

Best boutique cigars you will find - If you like cigars or want to buy cigars as a gift for someone who does, then this is the place to come. We had a factory tour and the owner, Austin passionately explained the whole process from beginning to end to us. He took two hours out of his day to spend with us and make sure we were happy. The cigars are the best I’ve tried (better than most of the well known Cubans out there). They have a range to suit most tastes and they are all hand rolled with meticulous attention to detail. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for an amazing experience Austin!

Viva Vivonte! - If you are into the world of cigars or just a little bit curious, this is a good experience. It’s close to port and reasonably priced. The people at Vivonte are very friendly and welcoming. We were treated very well and made to feel at home. Immediately greeted with smiles and wine and beer. Complimentary cigars to enjoy while being escorted through the boutique cigar manufacturing facility. We even got to have a little hands on experience making cigars. Our guide Vayron was knowledgeable and kind. In all, it was a great experience and I would happily take friends and family there again.

Beware! Swindled by the driver to/ from excursion - The cigar factory tour was great. The driver to and from the excursion was a nice guy and very informative but when he dropped us at our hotel and the end of the tour he said we owed him $110 usd for the transportation. The transportation was included with the price of the tour. My husband paid him but we both thought this was very deceiving as nothing was mentioned about the travel cost. The Viator app advertised that cigar tour was for Cabarete and in fact it was in Peurto Plata. The driver was over an hour late because he when to the wrong hotel and had to drive to Cabarete in rush hour traffic. Again at this point nothing was mentioned about the price of travel and I offered to change to another day and he said it was fine. When we got to the cigar factory, only the manager was there so we got a very short tour cut in half. It was 7 o clock at night and we offered to buy the driver the dinner because it was so late. Of course he accepted a free dinner as well.

Was interesting, nice to... - Was interesting, nice to see how they make them however I felt I was asking many of the questions and didn’t feel compared to other tours it was as informative. Your guide was friendly however. Not worth the money. Plus you can go next door in another factory and see it for free!

New ownership! - Incase you don't already know Glen passed away unexpectedly this past year. If you had been there in the past inevitably you met Glen and his son Sander, amazing people! This place is now being ran under new owners... If you are looking for the same quality cigars and customer service experience with Sander check out Sivonte Cigars!
