New Delhi - As part of its efforts to promote iconic products from the Dominican Republic, the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in India hosted the Dominican Republic Experience: Cigar and Rum Night on Monday 5th December 2022, at Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi.

For this occasion, the Embassy of the Dominican Republic joined hands with Barceló Rum, a historical Dominican brand known worldwide for its high-quality dark rums. The 4th largest exporter of rum in the world, Barceló is sold in over 50 countries and is now available in the Indian market.

Indian cigar importers and distributors working with Dominican brands - Alliance Global, Cingari, India Cigar Club, Kastro's, NV lifestyles and the Smoke Company – also partnered in the event to present Indian aficionados with a variety of Dominican cigars. Brands like Cezar Bronner Cigars, DBL Cigars, El Artista, El Sueño, La Aurora and Macanudo, amongst others, were parts of the showcase of our top cigar brands.

A menu of Cigar and Rum pairings was designed especially for the occasion.

One of the event’s highlights was the presence of the Dominican cigar roller, Moisés Rodriguez, owner of La Realeza Cigars, who delighted the guests with his cigar rolling skills.

Throughout the night, the Delhi based Latin band Abakorao played classic Dominican songs.
