DBC Cigars is a Dominican cigar brand produced at Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera and launched in 2025. The brand is built around a conceptual framework inspired by Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Rather than offering traditional line extensions, DBC Cigars structures its portfolio around three distinct personas: Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Utterson and Mr. Hyde. Each cigar is designed as an independent smoking experience, defined by format, wrapper, strength and visual identity.
Production is led by master blender Eladio Díaz. As of now, distribution is limited to the Dominican Republic.
Brand Overview
DBC Cigars positions itself as a concept-driven brand, using psychological archetypes to differentiate each release. Instead of a linear strength progression, the brand presents three cigars intended for different moods, preferences and smoking moments.
This approach places equal weight on narrative and product design, integrating color coding, vitola selection and wrapper choice into the identity of each cigar.
