Drew Estate Dominicana has joined the Association of Dominican Cigar Manufacturers (PROCIGAR) as an active member. The association announced the decision November 9 after its governing bodies approved the company’s membership application.

Established in 2026, Drew Estate Dominicana is the company’s new manufacturing operation in the Dominican Republic. Its 76,000-square-foot facility in Santiago adds a Dominican presence for Drew Estate, which also makes cigars at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Drew Estate founder, president and chief innovation officer Jonathan Drew Sann welcomed the opportunity to work with fellow manufacturers.

“Drew Estate has always been deeply committed to the celebration, elevation and growth of premium cigar culture and manufacturing quality. As we begin this new chapter in the Dominican Republic, we are honored that Drew Estate Dominicana has been invited to join PROCIGAR and work in partnership with the exceptional Dominican cigar manufacturers that comprise this distinguished association.”

The Santiago facility gives Drew Estate a manufacturing presence in the Dominican Republic. With PROCIGAR membership, its Dominican operation will also take part in work that extends beyond the factory floor. That includes training the next generation of cigar workers, advocating for the industry and promoting Dominican cigars internationally.
