Over the last century or so, the Caribbean experience has been changing with the story of the Dominican Republic, a great place to start learning more. The Tobacco Museum in Santiago is one of the most impressive of its kind in the world and takes any cigar-lover or new arrivals in this sector on a journey into the history of every aspect. Nobody knows exactly when the first cigar was smoked. The Tobacco Museum helps you understand exactly how the Dominican Republic has played its role in the history of tobacco products.

There are many locations an aficionado can enjoy in the Caribbean to follow in the footsteps of historic smokers, such as the British wartime leader Winston Churchill.
