I wasn't planning on looking for cubans while down there.
I'm actually going to Santo Domingo also. Maybe I'll look to go on a tour of a factory, may have to do it solo though as I don't imagince anyone I'm going with would be interested.

Well most of the cigar factories are actually in and around the Santiago region. It's a 2 hour bus ride to the North from Santo Domingo. I didn't really feel confortable renting a car and driving around for myself, mainly because traffic laws don't seem to exist down there. I just took the Metro (bus) and it didn't even cost $20.00 round trip IIRC.Originally Posted by Kass
Where are you staying? I stayed here in Santo Domingo: http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/SDQGW. Its one of the better hotels in the city. They have a business center with computer/internet access and some of the rooms get wireless. It’s close to the colonial district, and you have a few restaurants / bakeries within walking distance so you don’t have to pay hotel prices for food.

Its 45 minutes from Santo Domingo airport. I read somewhere that there are factories in La Romana, which looks much closer.
