DBL / Dominican Big Leaguer – Cigars
DBL: Cigars for True Sports Enthusiasts
If there were cigars that fit perfectly into a stylish sports bar, they would undoubtedly be those from DBL—short for Dominican Big Leaguer. This becomes evident at first glance: Hardly any other brand offers vitolas in the extraordinary shape of a baseball bat. Particularly impressive are the Baseball Bat Connecticut and the Baseball Bat Maduro—both true eye-catchers. There were even cigars shaped like an American football in the past, but these are now sold out.
The connection between sports and cigars runs consistently through DBL’s portfolio. Even some cigar names pay tribute to well-known sports figures. “La Flecha,” for example, is the nickname of the famous pitcher Fernando Rodney, who played for teams like the Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays.
On the other hand, “La Maquina” refers to Albert Pujols, a legendary baseman who made his mark with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Angels. Both players hail from the Dominican Republic, creating a clear link between the origin of DBL’s tobacco and the world of sports.
Dominican Big Leaguer: Cigars for Connoisseurs
DBL stands for moments of indulgence, where sports and premium tobacco complement each other perfectly. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a handcrafted premium cigar from DBL, accompanied by a refreshing lager beer. In Germany, a good Pils is always a great choice—or if you prefer something more traditionally Rhenish, an Altbier will do the trick.
But DBL isn’t just about unique cigar formats. A baseball bat can be handy around the house—not just as sports equipment but also for a spontaneous demonstration of quick reflexes. However, it’s the craftsmanship and thoughtful blending that truly make this brand stand out. As Schiller once said: “A baseball bat in the house replaces the security guard.” Or something like that …
DBL Cigars: Sporting Elegance in Perfection
Back to the essentials: Francisco Almonte, the founder and mastermind behind DBL, is a true master of his craft. No surprise there—he gained valuable experience with esteemed houses like Arturo Fuente and La Flor Dominicana before realizing his own vision with DBL.
With DBL, Almonte brings together his two great passions: sports and tobacco. His experimental nature is evident in a wide variety of formats and remarkable complexity of flavors.
Yet, despite the originality in design, one thing remains undisputed: DBL cigars impress not only with their extraordinary appearance but above all with their masterful craftsmanship and unique taste.
