Does anyone know if there are any cigar lounges in seoul? Someone had mentioned there were a couple at hotels, but that's as far as the info went.

There's one at the bottom of the main strip in Gyrunggidan. I've seen it but forget the name. Zypher (probably spelled his handle wrong) mentioned it in the smoking thread that steelrails destroyed.

This is a nice club. Walk in humidor. The owner is the authorized Habanos dealer for Korea. Last time I checked membership was about 1,000,000 won. That may sound like a lot of money, but the people you meet at the club will be directors, CEOs and above of the best Korean comanies. If you want to network yourself out of your kindie job, this is the place.

As TJ linked, Burn in Gyungridan is the only one I can think of.

Bit overpriced but to be expected, pretty chilled atmosphere and a decent selection. Come out of exit 2 at Noksapyeong station, head down the road til you get to the underpass. Take that and it'll be just around the corner, 2nd floor.

I've never smoked a cigar but would like to try sometime. How friendly are they to complete beginners?

Hal is an extremely cordial guy. He'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have.

Coffee Bar K is a good place to have a cigar. I also enjoy a cigar at The Library (Shilla Hotel). Don't remember if Off has cigars or not--great whisky selection, though (competitive with K's!).
