I am a Parliament lights smoker. Is it possible to get those there or should i just bring a couple of cartons and hope to eventually find them. Oh and if you can find them , do they taste the same?

I don't smoke (often), but I have bummed a Parliament before. Don't know about lights. Just smoke half the regular one?

Nah nig, they've got P-funks here in Korea. Really cheap here too, like 2,500, or roughly $2.50 US. The taste is pretty much the same, but there is a slight difference. But nothing too different. Remember, these are American cigarettes made in Korea. But I would suggest buying some other cigarettes from Duty-Free shoping before entering Korea.

Marlboro and PLs are two of the bigger American brands in Korea. If you are a menthol smoker, I'd suggest buying Newports, I've never seen Newports in Korea, I'm dying for a 'Port.

Remeber, you can always barter for things from US military personnel/ and their wives. They'll usually have US stuff that they get from base to sell to foriegners or Koreans. Btw, the CocaCola in Korea does taste different. Less sweet.
