Procigar

Like many countries, the Dominican Republic is dealing with shortages of skilled employees. Procigar has worked with the Instituto Nacional de Formación Técnico Profesional to create a free school where people can become trained as certified cigar rollers or bunchers.

After years of waiting, there’s a Marriott property in Santiago. The new hotel will serve as the host hotel for Procigar 2025, the Dominican Republic’s annual cigar festival.

The event celebrates the Dominican cigar industry by showcasing the farms, factories, and people that go into producing the country’s most acclaimed cigars.

Ciro Cascella was named vice president, while Hendrik “Henke” Kelner was named president ad vitam.

The Dominican Republic’s cigar festival will take place Feb. 18-23, 2024.

The La Aurora 120 Anniversary Series Limited Edition Humidor, pictured, topped bidding at $75,000. The $440,000 raised for three charities was a record for Procigar.
