Every leaf placed by hand. Every time.
TABACALERA LAS LAVAS, SANTIAGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Opened by Luis Cuevas Sr. in 1983, Tabacalera Las Lavas is the beating heart of Casa Cuevas and one of the Dominican Republic's most trusted premium cigar factories.
OUR DOMINICAN CIGAR FACTORY
Handcrafted Premium Cigars Since 1983
Every Casa Cuevas cigar carries the weight of generations. A Spanish immigrant who planted tobacco in Cuba in 1881. A revolution that forced a family to flee but not to abandon their craft. A father who rebuilt everything in the Dominican Republic. A son who put the family name on the box. And a grandson blending cigars today. This is not just brand history. It is a human story forged in exile, resilience, and a century-long love for the leaf.
OUR GLOBAL TOBACCO SOURCING
Premium Tobacco from 8 Countries
At Tabacalera Las Lavas, we source premium tobaccos from eight countries across the Americas. Each origin brings a distinct character and it takes decades of expertise to know how they work together in a single hand-rolled cigar.
