Enjoy, you're making the right decision to take your own for sure.

great collection of sticks there - looks like you'll give the local smokes a real run for their money!

Enjoy!

Now that's a cracking selection of Cohiba they have there....

[thedame007]

What a marvellous selection of horrors...

Ridiculous that this is so openly flouting plagerism and counterfeiting. I mean if a hotel ‘shop’ was filled with knock-off Louis Vuitton it would be more frowned upon, or at least be judged as being ‘cheap’ both morally and in terms of ‘class’.

Thus concludes Tuesdays rant!

looks like you’re having a great time Sham! You’ve been smoking some great smokes too!

I didn't buy anything in the DR as I didn't trust that even in the shops or the Duty Free that everything was genuine & /or at a reasonable price. Mostly the prices were the same as in Belgium, sometimes more so; not exactly an incentive to splash my cash. The rum on the other hand was worth buying. Try various brands in the hotel bar & them chose your bottle in the town is probably the best way to get a good deal.

More fakes than the Kardashians!

I remember watching silver video where apparently Macanudo means erection! [emoji16]

A Macanudo (I think it was a “Hampton Court” or something) was the first cigar to really grab my attention and make me think cigar smoking is for me, I guess you could say it gave me a metaphorical erection for cigar smoking

Hey guys

Off to DR : La Romana in a few months...I've been told that Cubans there's will be very expensive...so doubt I'll be looking for any...but any cigar factory or farms to visit?

Hello mate, that would be my approach too, not cubans to buy there but a huge variety of things to do with the local tobacco, it is a great opportunity.

As you are going to LA ROMANA you have there Tabacalera de Garcia Factory Tour (La Romana)

AURORA CIGARS, at la Aurora cigars you can visit the factory, tell them TURIN sends you, they may even let you roll a cigar. Gustavo Velayos may be a great ambassador. They have good cigars, the new ADN seems to be good, and the old AURORA 100 anos is great.

You also can rent a HARLEY to do a day in the island which I would recommend with NACHO MAHOU, great journalist who is living there now.

You also have a MR HENKEL who has DAVIDOFF running for decades who shows the place, and many more.

hahahahah.... it means awesome, which is a word it can be used for many good things.

That really surprised me! I smoked one of those in Club Macanudo and it was shite
