Does anyone know of any cigar shops in Seoul? My friend is coming for a visit and wanted to pick up some nice Cuban cigars. Can anyone recommend a place?

Are you just wanting to buy cigars or sit down and have a drink as well? I've been to the hotel inside the COEX for cigars, and it was really nice... expensive, but nice. A friend of mine went to a hotel attached to the Express Bus Terminal and bought some cigars there, but from what he said the prices aren't any better.

If you're just looking for cigars, though, check out http://www.cigarsofhabanos.com/. They're cheap, reliable, and fast. I've ordered from them two times now and haven't been disappointed. Heck, my first order was a couple months before Christmas, and right around mid-December they sent me a surprise gift of a free butane lighter (a quality one at that). They're also willing to ship and price orders so that you don't get hit with any customs fees - just tell them to do so when you order.

2nd floor of small shopping center next to Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon. I can't remember the name of the place though, sorry.

ditto on this.

They have a decent selection and the cost (as far as cigars in Korea go) is acceptable.

The lobby of the JW Marriott has a nice cigar shop called Maska's (Seoul Express Bus Terminal Station)

Thanks for the reply!

I think he was planning on buying and possibly bringing back rather than sitting down to enjoy with a drink. I will pass the info along to him as well as the link you mentioned.

Anyone else know of any other reasonably priced cigar shops where you can buy Cubans?
