Punta Cana Travel Forum

We are going back to Punta Cana for a second time. The first time we bought Cigars from a vendor who came to our resort. Is it safe to buy Cigars from these people who sell them when the resort has a vendor night?

I stayed at the Ocean Bavaro last time I was there and they also had a vendor night too. I found their prices to be a bit higher and they weren't willing to negotiate as much, probaly because the resort charges them a arm and a leg to sell there. I have no doubt that the cigars they were selling were authentic as they were similiar to the ones I bought from the beach vendors who sell out of huts. I would actually recommend buying from the beach vendors as I was able to negotiate much better pricing and the cigars ended up being excellent! You can find these vendors by simply walking down the beach and you will eventually run across a bunch of huts which is were the vendors do their business. Hope that helps!

As an inveterate cigar smoker and a frequent visitor to the DR,here"s my advice.
Buy here in the US and take them with you.
