Duty Free, Leaving
sauce said:
I like the sounds of $7 a carton but i hate american smokes.
Do they have any Canadian brands? Belmont Milds, du Maurier, Players etc? If so are they $7 a carton as well? Are the american ones $7 a carton or is that for a local blend?
I didn't even think of this.
thanks

You will find Craven A, Rothmans, and a couple others leaving the DR (also leaving the USA usually ) at the duty free - when you arrive, if at SDQ airport, you "might" be able to do duty free at the shops you encounter before migracion - I have always seen them and never shopped a them, maybe they have CDN cigs.
In town, other than the regrettable Nacional brand at about 2 cents a pack and smelling like buring horse poo, it is DR produced Marlboro Red, Gold or Green at about RD$250 a carton, so around US$6 a carton - you can kill yourself for 1/10 the cost of NYC smokes.
The cigar shop in Boca Chica sells a few non DR brands, some US and I think some UK, for a lot of money, and presumably in the capital you might find more.
