I figured that I could pick up some Fuentes at a reasonable price but everything on the beaches were counterfeit and the hotel stores prices were crazy. Was told by a cigar store owner that most Fuentes are bound for export which drives their price up in the DR market.

Go figure.

You did not visit the factories themselves....
