Cuban Romeo and Juliettes were pretty easy to get in Kuwait when I was there. In fact, they were sold right on Camp Wolf, first by the Brits, later by a small store ran by locals.
Last week I tried the Dominican version of the Romeo and Juliette and I have to say it was actually a bit better than the Cuban. Taste was very similar, the Dominican was a little bit stronger but they were pretty close. Although I would never turn down a Cuban for the cost (about 7 bucks per cigar in the US) the Dominican version was certainly a great choice.
