No Cuban's there, only the infamous Cohiba glass top and fake square boxes of Cohiba Esplendidos wrapped in plastic seal. Should have been in flat rectangular boxes.
But, I did find Opus X's for $56US a stick. Passed on those.
Had 3 nice Cuban's that I brought with me, and I will post that review in the Cuban forum.

One problem with them being in the free trade zone is that they have to export then import cigars like the opus x in order to sell them there. They get real expensive.
You can find some fantastic local sticks though. I had a great time sampling some of the local stuff.

Steve,
Did you go to the cigar shop over at the Iberostar resorts?

The duty free was limited to spirits, and not a great selection at that. The only Dominican cigars that I found were really over priced, with Opus X's at $56 US a stick.

Thanks for the response just imagine the price of the Opus without being duty free. I was going to write without the duty but that didn't sound right for some reason.

When I was in the Dominican a year ago, the duty free shop at the airport did have some cubans. There were Montecristos, and some Cohibas. Prices were resonable. I didn't try to buy any though, the next stop was the U.S.A!
