1920 — The first fields
The Reyes family begins growing tobacco in Navarrete, in the heart of the Cibao Valley.
Nuestra Historia
The Reyes
Tobacco Family— one town, one soil, one name
Four generations have worked the same fields in Navarrete. Everything we sell begins as a seed in that ground.
La Familia
Some companies chose tobacco.
Ours was born in it.
Since 1920 the Reyes family has lived by the leaf — first as growers, then as fermenters, and today as makers of premium handmade cigars. Our home is Navarrete, in the heart of the Cibao Valley near Santiago, where the soil is prized enough that when the town expanded it grew around our fields rather than over them.
That is the whole story, and it is also the whole difference. We are not a brand that buys tobacco and prints a band. We plant it, prime it, ferment it in our own pilones, age it in our own warehouses — and only then do we allow it to become a cigar that carries the family name.
Flor de los ReyesThe Reyes Tobacco Family
Field, pilón and warehouse — all within a few kilometres.
Nothing leaves the family's hands between the seedbed and the finished cigar. That is unusual in this industry, and it is why we can vouch for every leaf.
We never had to buy anyone else's tobacco. We only had to wait for our own.
Lo Que Nos Define
What We Refuse to Compromise
I
Our own leaf
Everything we sell begins as a seed in our own fields. We have never had to buy anyone else's tobacco.
II
Nothing leaves the family's hands
From the seedbed to the finished cigar, every step happens within a few kilometres of the field.
III
Patience
The bales are turned by hand and opened only when they are ready.
Pruébelo
A century of leaf,
now in your hand.
The only way to understand a hundred years of patience is to light it.
