    Ordering cigars online

    Anyone tried this? If so what's the import duty?

    Never tried that in Thailand. Would be leary. I buy mine at the Dusit shop in Bangkok and at the Cigar shop on Patong Beach Road.

    Yeah, it does feel like a gamble. I suspect someone in the customs office will help themselves to the package, or they'll assess the duty so high that it would have been cheaper to buy them here.

    ^Well, cheaper is a relative term. $30 for a Cohiba is not cheap. I smuggle them in from Hong Kong when I travel but don't tell customs please.

    Nice cigar, but a little strong for me.

    My humidor is about half full at the moment (holds around 200). Think I'll hold off restocking until later in the year.

    Yeah, they are strong. I pay $9 for them in Phnom Penh.

    I always stock up with Dannemans Sumatra smokes in KL
    Manage to bring about 100 back - trouble is they are small.

    Used to buy bigger ones in Jakarta but cant get them elsewhere

    If I smoked cigars, used to, not anymore tho, I would move over to Cuba, I would get them cheaper, Cuban pussy is ok by any standards, and Cuban grub is better than Thai chuck anyday.
    Only thing I hate about it is them Cubans is so close to being Messicans that I think they all should die of the screaming shits.

    Thanks, but I'm making an overseas trip around then anyway, so I'll probably stock up then. They had a decent selection in the duty free at Abu Dhabi when I went through there last time.
