Does anybody know how many boxes of cigars a person is allowed to bring back from the DR? Any idea what kind of prices a person can expect to find while there? Have a friend going down next month any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just going to the source does not mean your going to make out like a bandit. Also, as far as how many to bring in. I think your allowed up to $400 on general items before you get taxed...that is duty free. Anything over I have no idea. However, it may be different for tobacco products.

just returned from Punta Cana. you are allowed to bring back 40 cigars each person.

cigars shops mainly sell DR smokes. Opus X hard to find. Cubans mainly sold in 2 or 3 stick samplers. did get box of Montecristo No. 2 for $50.00 American. exchange rate was $1.00 = $2.60 Dominican
