Try La Leyenda Cigars Calle Hostos @ Calle Mercedes in the Colonial Zone. They carry everyones cigars at good prices. Try their cigars you will be impressed. Do not take a cab or tour guide and save 20%

You best bet for buying high-end Dominican cigars are to buy them in the US. Most of the better Dominican Cigars are made for export. In the past they had to pay import taxes if they wanted to sell the high-end brands in the DR. There were some exceptions, and the tax situation may have changed since CAFTA. Hillbilly should be able to provide some more current info.

As far as buying Cuban cigars in Boca Chica, I don't know of anyplace that sells the real thing.

The cigar store in the Juaragua Hotel in SD has the a very good selection of high end cigars. Both Dominican and Cuban. There are no fakes there.

Yes, that's an excellent shop, but the OP said he is not leaving Boca Chica.
