A Legacy of Passion and Excellence
Manuel Dominguez – The Founder’s Story
Manuel Dominguez’s path to mastery was shaped by rare resilience, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. His life experiences forged a perspective few possess—one that valued patience, precision, and the deep traditions of tobacco.
Guided by this philosophy, he created cigars meant to endure, mature, and eventually become a testament to time. His legacy lives on today through the Caonabo and Dominguez collections, entrusted to his successor, Manuel E. Dominguez, and released only after decades of intentional aging.
Our Heritage-Three Decades in the Making
Our vintage collections began with my father’s vision in the early 1990s: to create cigars of unmatched quality, aged with time rather than urgency. Using premium Dominican-grown Cuban-seed tobaccos and storing every cigar in cedar boxes and bundles, he built a heritage meant to be unveiled only when it reached absolute maturity.
Today, after more than 30 years of natural aging, we proudly present the Caonabo and Domínguez Vintage Collections—crafted by his hands, preserved by his legacy, and released by my promise to honor his work.
A Legacy Born from Courage and Craftsmanship
From the legend of Chief Caonabo to the life and artistry of Manuel Dominguez, Caonabo Cigars carry a story of resilience, precision, and tradition—preserved through time and revived for those who appreciate meaning in every draw.
