In the Hamilton Hotel shopping mall, Itaewon. Next to the hotel, enter off the main drag where the KFC is. Straight up the stairs 1st level, on the right.

I always thought rolling tobacco was just made to be used as an alibi Wink

I tried the Hamilton tobacco store. One brand: Drum. One price: 10,000-12,000 won (can't remember exactly). Needless to say, I didn't buy it, and some better quality is on it's way to my house right now.

I'm excited to see the confused stares from Koreans ("WTF is that?"), the jealous face of hippy-teachers ("Dude, can I hit that? Where can I score? You're brave.") and the random drug testing done on the spot from the Korean cops who just can't believe it's not an illegal drug.

Hey do they sell cuban cigars at that smoke shop? I've walked through that mall type place and saw the smoke shop but didn't check out their wares. I'm aching to smoke a nice Cohiba if they're cheap enough there or at least another comparable cuban cigar maybe a Montecristo or Romeo y Julieta if they have em.

Yes, they have Cubans, but at terrible prices and selection. If you
MUST buy cigars in Korea go to:

http://www.pierrecigar.com/

Pierre Cigar is the authorized Habanos dealer in Korea. It is located
near the Hilton Hotel near Itaewon. Even there you will pay 2-3 times
more than:

http://www.cigarsofhabanos.com/index.asp

This place IS the cheapest and they deliver duty free to your apartment.
I have used them for years with no hassles.

The only brand they have is Drum? If so, not too impressive. Did you order some better stuff online? If so, what's the store?

I was going to have it mailed to me from a friend in the US, but since I have a friend coming to visit soon, he'll bring it for me.
