Cigar shopping in Tax Havens

[Habana-Habanos]

I live in Hong Kong, and have been visiting the 'shop' lately.

A very casual place for a smoke.

Just give me a shout if you want a bit more info. /photo / latest prices.

btw, I am a cigar newbie.

Hi sean,

You should try introducing yourself in the newbie greets section.

-HH.

Stagnetto's Gibraltar is my choice based on a great aged selection and first class service. Though im off to Havana in a couple of weeks i hear they may have 1 or 2 nice outlets.

Throw up some pictures Sean, I have friends in HK and I'm likely to be out there again soon and would love to have somewhere to go and enjoy a few smokes. I don't speak any Cantonese though!

ok, I shall do it tonight when i get home.

its not the best looking place in town but the price as i heard is 2nd to none. for posh environment, one can choose the up market smoke shops in the 5 stars hotels such as the Mandarin Oriental in Central or the Sheraton in Kowloon.

In Hong Kong, you get what you paid for most of the time and once in a while you get major rip off. LOL !

And don't worry about the language, almost everyone here speaks English. I am pretty sure the shopkeepers there do too.

...Mandarin Oriental...

The Captains Bar Absolutely brilliant place and great G&T's too.

You can no longer smoke in the Captains Bar and in fact all indoor bars are now smoke free zone, hated it, but no choice. Yes, freedom is restricted here. What a free world

The only places are outdoor ares of pubs and cigar smoke shops. There is one at the Mandarin Oriental, called Cohiba Cigar Divan.

Wow, really! It was such a great atmosphere in there with the cigar smoke.

Will definitely be coming back to HK in the future, maybe for the Rugby Sevens.
