Does anyone have any recomendations for a good cuban cigar. I am going to a wedding in June and I want to bring a couple. When I went to Itaewon, the lady tried passing a dominican (romeo and julieta) cigar as a cuban and wanted 14.00 dollars for one. Any one who can tell me a good place to go, as well as a good medium priced one. Thanks in advance

If you're just buying the cigars to impress someone, get some Cohibas.

And forget about finding cigars in Korea at reasonable price. That one store in Itaewon and the top tier hotels seem to have racket on them in this country.

Order them off the internet.

Go to the Phillips Building across from the Hyatt in Itaewon. See Pierre...he is the only Cuban cigar importer in korea. Large store...he'll sell to you...not just to stores/shops.

Try Davidoff's or H. Uppman. If you know of anyone leaving the country on vancation you could always get them to pick them up for you at the Duty Free Shop. Of you can order them online. Enjoy.

I am from the states, so I dont know if its ok for me to get them from the duty free shop. Has anyone had any experience. Also I took your advice and l searched online, but with the cost of shipping it seems to be the same price as in Itaewon. Thanks for the help so far.

Nice! Do many people here (on the board) smoke cigars regularly? I am an avid smoker, I smoke 99% habanos. If you're still looking, I say go for a partagas lustiania (a double corona- my fave!), montecristo #2, or Vegas Robaina Unicos. Cohiba and Trinidad are the big Flagship cuban brands, both are nice but very expensive (heck a box of cohiba esplendidos is over $400 us in Cuba! Trinidad funadores are even more expensive). For the money you could get many not as prestigious habanos for less money.

good luck,

mike
