Guys,
Just thought I would discuss my 1st trip to Dominican Republic. We arrived in Punta Cana yesterday and during my transit, I purchased a box of Partagas Mille Fleur's and a box of H.Upmann Royal Robusto's at Dubai Duty Free. Great prices with the MF coming out at $49USD and the HM R/Robusto's coming out at $130USD. Currently smoking the Partagas paired with some Dominican Republic coffee and throughly enjoying it and think it is a great value for money stick. I will be trying the Upmann later tonight with a nice glass of Pinot, so will fill you in later.
I purchased a Punch Punch from the cigar room at Harrods when in London and again, really enjoyed this smoke. Paired with a few glasses on Pinto and if I had a second stick on me, most likely would have fired that up as well:)
On Tuesday I am heading to the Don Lucas cigar factory for a tour, as well as a shopping spree. They sell a large variety of DR and Cuban cigars, so I have a few penciled in for purchase as I will be spending the following 2 weeks travelling through Prague and Amsterdam, so need some supplies.
I will be coming home via Dubai so will hit up the Duty Free store again and purchase a few other boxes, will probably have more than allocated for 2 people travelling, but happy to pay the duty on them to start my collection.
Will keep you posted on my tour of the cigar factory and purchases from the day.
