About Balmoral Dominican Selection

Balmoral cigars are made in Royal Agio Cigars factory in San Pedro de Macoris, a small city in the Dominican Republic. The shortfiller cigars are made with a premium blend of tobaccos from South America and the Caribbean and a natural shade-grown wrapper from Ecuador.

Growing the wrappers from Ecuador in a natural shade ensures that the Balmoral cigars have a mild and rich flavor. It also guarantees the beautiful golden color of the wrapper. Balmoral’s master blender personally selects these tobaccos, which provide the perfect body and balance to the cigars.
