i buy my every day cigars from Jrcigars.com and have them shipped to a family member who in turn ships them to me. Never had a problem.

I buy my cubans from a few different online stores that ship to Korea. Again, never a problem.

It has always been cheaper doing this than buying them here in Korea.

Ahh God! Another stupid post by another newbie. Legit question, bad way of asking it.

First off Korea is a country albeit small it still has big area and whole lotta people. Give us a hint - WHERE DO YOU LIVE? If in Busan try an some of the big hotel at the Beach. If in Daejeon - try the Shisha House. If in Daegu - not much luck, maybe check around the Army base. If in a small town - cruddy cigar maybe at the 7-11 dried into a dog turd.

Have you tried looking in the Forums. Their has been some post previous about it. You might have to weed through but you will find some help.

Also, have you thought about where you are? You are in Korea. Your in a country that does not really have a cigar culture, yes they do like smoking cigarettes but it is the same for cheese or wine or chocolate. They like them but getting the really good stuff is very hard to get. Sorry Seoul is the major place to get them.

But as the previous poster posted there is the two pieces of tech in which to use. One the Internet - in this day and age there a so many places to buy cigars online and with the second technology - modern delivery service it will get to your door in a timely manner.

Hint if going to buy online - order some cigar - 10 to 50 not a couple of boxes and you might even get lucky that customs will ignore you. Many of the online services do send cigars labeled as samples thus allowing some people to get away with out paying customs.

Sigh! Rolling Eyes

Just ignore the lifer with the attitude above. Outside of Seoul you will
need to check out large hotels like the Hilton or Sheraton. But be
prepare to be gouged.

I recommend http://www.coh-hk.com/

Pretty much the cheapest on the planet and I have NEVER had a box
arrive in more than five days. They usually arrive by trackable Speedpost
in 3-4 days.
