ProCigar 2024 Tours & Party 💨 Cigar Snob in the Dominican Republic
Let the cigar tours begin! 💨 At ProCigar, the consumer gets to select what cigar tour he/she attends on each day and for our first tour of 2024 we visited Quesada Cigars to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. We were greeted by the father/daughter team of Manolo and Raquel Quesada who handed us each a Casa Magna Liga F to start the day. After intros and a brief company history by Manolo, we experienced a guided tasting by Ferio Tego’s Michael Herklots and Manolo Quesada.
We were able to taste the 50th anniversary cigar along with each of the component tabacos in the blend separated out into small cigars. We celebrated the anniversary with a proper Champagne toast led by Raquel, then enjoyed a rum tasting led by Brugal’s rum master, Miguel Ripoll and brand ambassador Susana Ortega.
A delicious traditional Dominican roast pork was served for lunch along with traditional sides. This was followed by a beautiful cake to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the company. Along with the cake and coffee, Casa Magna Connecticuts were passed out and enjoyed. Lastly, on the way out every guest received a souvenir coffin of Quesada 50th Anniversary.
Upon returning to the hotel, we attended a cigar seminar hosted by Michael Herklots and ASP’s David Perez. Each participant received two cigars with the same filler and binder blend, the only difference was that one had a Habano wrapper and the other Connecticut wrapper. It was highly interesting and informative to experience this while being guided by the head of one of the biggest growers of premium cigar tobacco in the business and the ever-eloquent Herklots.
As is typical at ProCigar, the parties are top-notch, and the Welcome Dinner at Parque Central de Santiago was no exception. All the entertainment was excellent, from the artist live-painting while we mingled to the folkloric dancers while we dined. The food, drinks, and cigars were fantastic, and the dance contest was a lot of fun as well. Congrats to the dance contest winners Chris and Vanessa Alonso, cigar enthusiasts from the great state of Texas!
Stay tuned as we’ll have more ProCigar updates every day of the festival 💨 💨 💨
