Drew Estate Dominicana is now an active member of PROCIGAR, the Association of Dominican Cigar Manufacturers. The association announced the news from Santiago de los Caballeros after its governing bodies approved the company’s membership application.
PROCIGAR welcomed the company and said its addition creates further opportunities for collaboration among members and strengthens collective efforts to advance the Dominican tobacco and premium cigar industry.
Drew Estate Dominicana was established in 2026 and represents a new chapter for Drew Estate, which has long produced its brands at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua. The company’s 76,000-square-foot facility in Santiago marks an important investment in the Dominican Republic’s cigar industry.
“Drew Estate has always been deeply committed to the celebration, elevation and growth of premium cigar culture and manufacturing quality,” said Jonathan Drew Sann, founder, president and chief innovation officer. “As we begin this new chapter in the Dominican Republic, we are honored that Drew Estate Dominicana has been invited to join PROCIGAR and work in partnership with the exceptional Dominican cigar manufacturers that comprise this distinguished association.”
As an active member, Drew Estate Dominicana joins a platform for business cooperation that promotes excellence in handmade cigar production, workforce training, industry advocacy and the Dominican Republic’s international standing as a cigar-producing country. PROCIGAR said the membership opens new opportunities to exchange expertise, strengthen collaboration among manufacturers and support the continued growth of the premium cigar sector and its contribution to the Dominican economy.
Founded in 1992, PROCIGAR brings together premium cigar manufacturers and companies across the Dominican tobacco value chain. Its current members include Tabacalera Fuente, La Flor Dominicana, La Aurora, General Cigar Dominicana, Tabacalera de García, De Los Reyes Cigars, Casa Carrillo, Quesada Cigars, Tabacalera La Palma, Arnold André and PDR Cigars.
