Welcome to the DBL Cigars (Dominican Big Leaguer) showcase, hosted proudly on Smoke-Dogg—the premier online marketplace where boutique cigar artistry takes center stage, entirely free from mass-market clutter. DBL is the brilliant brainchild of master blender Francisco Almonte, a man whose life has been deeply intertwined with premium tobacco since the age of seven. By matching Almonte's elite pedigree with Smoke-Dogg's focused ecosystem, we are giving discerning cigar lovers direct access to some of the most meticulously crafted, estate-grown Dominican cigars available today.
Francisco Almonte's journey is the stuff of cigar legend. Before launching DBL in 2013, he spent decades learning at the feet of the industry’s absolute titans, working under the direct tutelage of Carlos Fuente Sr. (A. Fuente Cigars) and Litto Gomez (La Flor Dominicana). Armed with this unparalleled heritage, Almonte established his own tobacco farm, cigar box factory, and rolling facility in Tamboril, Dominican Republic—the undisputed "World Capital" of premium cigar rolling. This seed-to-box control allows DBL to oversee every single step of the curing, aging, and rolling processes.
