Lanco Smokes and Francisco Almonte, founder of DBL Cigars (Dominican Big Leaguer), invite you to a one-of-a-kind cigar hand-rolling event! Born in the Dominican Republic, Francisco’s journey in tobacco began when he was just seven, helping his father devein leaves, and by age twelve he was rolling cigars himself. Growing up in Tamboril - widely recognized as a hub for premium cigar production - he was mentored by legends like Carlos Fuente and Litto Gómez. In 2013, he founded DBL Cigars to bring his passion, family heritage, and craftsmanship into the spotlight. At this event, you’ll see Francisco in action - hand-rolling cigars in real time. Witness the artistry: how leaves are selected, how the blend comes together, how each cigar is shaped. Add in door prize giveaways, steeped in the culture of cigar lovers, and exclusive specials on DBL lines you won’t want to miss—this is more than a tasting, it’s an immersive experience.
DBL’s offerings cover a wide range—whether you prefer mild, medium, or full in strength, there’s something for you. Featured lines include DBL Amarillo (USA Connecticut wrapper, mild), DBL Habano (Ecuadorian wrapper over Dominican & Nicaraguan fillers), DBL Maduro, as well as the bold DBL Formula line with sizes like Petit Corona, Belicoso Box-Pressed, Gorda, Toro, etc. Newer releases such as the DBL 12th Anniversary (5 7⁄8 × 56) and Chengo (6 × 52), both offering wrappers and blends that highlight Almonte’s mastery, will also be available.
Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or new to premium cigars, this event is for you. Come celebrate centuries-old traditions, enjoy special pricing, take home a hand-rolled cigar fresh from the source, and maybe win something in the door prize drawing. Let’s light up the night with flavor, fellowship, and the story of DBL Cigars - with Francisco Almonte leading the way!
