Some are saying that Opus X cigars cannot be bought in the Dominican...according to a good friend who recently returned from the Dominican w/a box of Opus X I would venture to say Opus X are for sale in that country.

True or false?

First, I have personally seen Opus X cigars for sale in the Dominican Republic, and they were expensive.

Opus X cigars are manufactured in the "free trade zone" in Santiago, D.R. Cigars made in this area are for export only. What this means is that Opus Xs for sale in the D.R. are first exported out of the country, and then imported back in...

sounds expensive

A small number are exported from the DR then reimported back into the country, as south-by-southwest described. So yes, you can buy them. There aren't many, however, and there are lots of fake FFOX cigars for sale in the Dominican Republic. It's not a good place to buy cigars.
