Re: Are Cuban cigars available in the Dominican Republic?

Just like when I lived in Kansas there was so much Kansas beef and everyone wanted to preserve that market, so you just never saw Japanese beef on the shelves.

Yup.
There is everything on Earth to be found there but all fakes.
They peddle glass top Cohibas like they are going out of style.
They sell both Dominican and Cuban.
None real.
Best to just bring your own sticks there.
