Absolutely! Luggage not permitting, I have extras. The water is a bit chilly, but even the Florida/Dominican-accustomed folk got used to it in quick order. A Chicagoan will think it's plumb toasty. We can swim at Sosua; there are random corals right off the beach, and a small reef a short swim out (200 yd +/-).

There's also a good place to eat there on the beach. It's a small shack but the food is good -and safe to eat.
Oh, my goodness. Then my thrice-weekly swimming sessions at a local fitness center will have been worth the effort on more than just a general health scale!

Also...just in case, because it's not outside the realm of possibilities...you may want to pack some Imodium. The stuff they sell over the counter here is inferior. I'd have killed for the real thing the first few weeks I was here.

We'll try to keep your intake as new-American-safe as possible, but you never know when things may loosen up, so to speak.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

Final "research" cigars for the trip to the EPC factory with Kip. The Cabinet is a totally forgettable cigar, but the Dark Rituals was better. Won't ever really look up either of them for purchase, though.

A fairly mild, but present, cigar that will definitely not break your budget. Not as good as the Melanio, but at half the price is a winner.
