What is the Best Cigar Bar or Lounge in the Dominican Republic?

Looking for a cigar bar or lounge in the Dominican Republic?

Next time you visit the Dominican Republic and are looking for a cigar lounge or bar in Punta Cana, La Romana, Santo Domingo, Santiago, or Puerto Plata, we want to make sure you have an objective resource to turn to. Keep in mind that the Dominican Republic is a cigar-friendly country. You can pretty much smoke anywhere except unauthorized closed spaces and randomly designated nonsmoking outside areas. However, you can never go wrong with an authorized closed indoor establishment that is smoker-friendly like a cigar bar or cigar lounge.

That being said, keep in mind that the DR enjoys the best climate in the world from November through April. We highly recommend you choose open spaces with a beautiful view for your cigar enjoyment experience.

What is the best cigar bar or lounge in the Dominican Republic?

There are options depending on which city you’re in. Basically, any open-air bars or lounges qualify. Most hotels in DR now offer a cigar bar or lounge. If you don’t have one at yours, here are some of our favorites:

Punta Cana
