So I'm in the D.R. right now.   Went to the "factory tour" and got some D.R. cigars, nothing special, not great pricing.   Seemed like a gift shop that showed the cigar aging process basically.  There are guys on the beach selling cohibas and monticristo for cheap.  I understand they are probably knock offs but are they ok cigars for the cheap price?  Talked him down to $50 for 10 and still havnt bought yet.  
What are your thoughts?

Well... fake for sure, unless they're hot

As far as a 'decent' smoke, I can't see $5 each adding up to much of anything.

Offer $5 for one smoke to test it out and see what you think. If decent and enjoyable you didn't lose anything.

Here's what I did. they let vendors come in tonight, guy had 10 cohiba maduro 5 for $90, Got down to $20. Honestly, if they are crap, oh well, maybe I got some good ones.  What's $20
