i have been to the D.R. at least a dozen times...to santo domingo,santiago,puerte plata,juan dolio,and punta cana......you are correct...don't buy what you're being told are cubans...they are fake....most cigars in the D.R. are free-zone...they are exported....buy leon jimenes and la aurora...both excellent cigars from the oldest factory in the country (1903).....

in some of the shops,you may find fuente or fonseca...both excellent cigars,but not as readily available....anything else is questionable....have fun...

forget the dom cohibas...buy them directly from hex (caminoviejo)...

alright, thanks, ill check out the 2 that you stated. Whats "buy directly from hex" mean?

-also, should i travel into the nearest town (Higuey) in search of a shop instead of the souvenier shops near the resorts? I assume it would be cheaper in a none- tourest area.

Hex is the man in charge around here! He also has a nice little cigar store online...caminoviejo.com

How are Romeo y julieta's from the D.R.? My sister bought me a cuban romeo, and it was dilishious.

how do the two compare?

for Dom. Republic cigars I like Macanudos myself, but that is personal preference.
