IPCPR 2017: Dominion Cigar Inc.

Dominion Cigar Inc. launched two new blends at the 2017 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show: one for the U.S. market and one that is being sold exclusively in the company’s home country of Canada. Both are being produced at E.P. Carrillo’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. factory in the Dominican Republic.

Back in the booth again is the Dominican Classic. It actually was shown off last year but never formally shipped. That’s now scheduled to happen later this month.

  • Binder: Nicaragua (Jalapa)
  • Filler: Nicaragua

In addition, the blend is limited to just 550 boxes of 10 and is being sold exclusively to retailers in Canada.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
