This was my first trip to a cigar factory. The staff were very helpful. Even though it was near closing the staff still took the time to give me a full demonstration of cigar making, and were very helpful in the selection process.

We have visited the place after Puerto Plata sightseeing. Amauris shared with us a great knowledge in regards to D cigars...and really nice coffee. Smoked LFD Lingero recommended by him, I enjoyed this one a lot even though I knew their production earlier. Great company, great place. I have been there with my gf who does not smoke at all and she found it as interesting experience. Worth visiting also if you wish to try local production. Good place for heavy smokers and beginners, as the choice over there is very wide. Enjoy Puerto Plata cigar lounge!!

Annual Father’s day cruise, aboard the Carnival Breeze first stopped Amber Cove, Dominican Republic as usual we visited all the Diamonds International Shop. However the TI International shop is where we met the most friendly, knowledgeable sales associates. Bielka (aka Dee Dee), Store Manager Nash Karla along with our Carnival Cruise Shopping Director Matt Hadley were instrumental in helping my wife select the Crown of Light Solar collection diamond ring, men’s diamond ring, Regal collection diamond earrings and diamond necklace. They were pleasant and forthright as they offered various options for payment. With the assistance of Matt we got a very good deal and felt comfortable with this purchase. Dee Dee and Nash didn't use pressure sales tactics, they let the jewelry speak for itself. We had each item appraised, upon returning home. The appraisal range was 40% to 50% higher than what we paid. One item cost $6,200.00, appraised for $11,500.00. The appraisal process confirms what Matt Hadley said during our pre shopping brief about the Crown of Light Diamond. The knowledge and honesty Dee Dee and Nash displayed is second to none. If you go to Amber Cove, go to TI international ask for Dee Dee or Nash. M. McIntosh
