What’s interesting is that high end Dominican and Hondoran cigars are now getting as expensive as Habanos S.A. prices.
A box of Opus X or Ashton VSG are about as expensive as a box of Cohibas or Bolivars from Gerard Pere et Fils in Geneva.

Quite a number of Honduran, Dominican and Nicaraguan super-premium cigars have achieved qualitative parity with Cuban offerings, whose export prices have long been artificially inflated by domestic scarcity due to an embargo risk premium. Prices have escalated along with demand, but all would decline if the US were to finally admit that our Cuban economic embargo of 50 years duration has proven fruitless and, I would argue, counterproductive.
I have a box of cigars one of my clients gave me. I am just a neophyte when it comes to cigars and these are Dominican Bering cigars. They are quite good.
