PDR Cigars—short for Pinar del Rio—is a boutique cigar brand with roots in the Dominican Republic and soul born of Cuban tradition. Named after the legendary Cuban tobacco-growing region, PDR is the brainchild of master blender Abe Flores, who’s earned a quiet reputation for doing things differently—and doing them well.
Each cigar is handcrafted at the PDR Cigars factory in Tamboril, a region renowned for some of the finest rollers in the world. What sets PDR apart is their meticulous attention to detail: they use an entubado bunching technique, ensuring optimal draw and burn, and pair that with a triple-cap finish, just like the Cubans taught ‘em.
From smooth and creamy Connecticuts to rich, complex Maduros and bold, full-bodied Nicaraguan blends, PDR offers a wide spectrum of flavour experiences. Their cigars frequently feature aged tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and even Brazil, wrapped in silky, high-quality leaf—often from Ecuador or San Andrés.
