I smoke natural American Spirit cigarettes, and want to have them shipped over during my stay in Korea. Maybe 5-6 cartons at a time. Is there anyway to know
1. How long for them to arrive and
2. Is it even legal to ship cigs to Korea?

Thank you

You will need an import license as a tobacco importer
(read - not gonna legally happen).

Contact Korean Customs

Grey/black market is yr answer. Or make friends with a GI and ask for some off base.

If you need American Spirits, just go to Japan's Narita Airport. They sell them in the duty free shops for cheap. Or you could find any other Japanese tobacco shop. They're not too tough to find in Japan. In Korea, forget about it. But seriously, just take a trip to Japan or have someone send some without marking the package as containing smokes.
