This is not a tourist excursion. This is a private invitation into the world of one of Punta Cana's most authentic and respected boutique cigar makers — personally hosted by Bert van Kol, the man behind Vivaldi and Secretariat cigars.

The Gentleman's Reserve is a private two-hour masterclass reserved exclusively for your group. The lounge is yours — no walk-ins, no strangers, no interruptions. Bert has been educating guests about fine cigars for over 20 years and brings a level of personal attention and genuine expertise that simply cannot be found on a standard excursion.

What's Included:

• Private exclusive lounge reservation — your group only
• Full introduction to the history and philosophy behind Vivaldi and Secretariat cigars
• Guided exploration of cigar lines — varieties, profiles, and what distinguishes a premium Dominican cigar
• Proper cigar enjoyment education — selection, technique, and the dos and don'ts
• Sample cigars included for the tasting session
• Curated pairing with high-quality Dominican coffee — selected specifically to highlight the pure notes of the tobacco
• Personal completion certificate — a memento of the experience for each guest
• Complimentary round-trip transportation from Secrets Royal Beach
• Hosted personally by Bert van Kol

Important Notes:

• This experience is open to all guests — not just cigar smokers. The history, craft, and pairing are genuinely engaging for everyone in the group
• Cigars are available for purchase following the masterclass — Vivaldi cigars are priced significantly below what you would pay at the resort
• Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance
• The $35 per person fee covers coordination, private reservation, and transportation arrangement

Perfect for: Cigar enthusiasts, curious travelers, couples, and anyone who appreciates craftsmanship, culture, and a genuinely local experience. You don't have to smoke to love this.

Non-refundable once booked. Advance purchase required. Time slot — 11:00 AM or 3:00 PM — will be confirmed and communicated to all guests prior to the trip.
