What is the price of Cigars like in Thailand? Any places to buy half decent cigars in Udon?

thanks

They are expensive here in Thailand.
There is a liquor store on the corner of Sisutha Rd. & Posri Rd., that sells Dutch cigars...once again, expensive. And they are not stored properly. IMO.
If you are planning a visit, I'd suggest bring your own stash with you. If you happen to have a stopover in Amsterdam, there is a excellent Duty Free cigar store at the the international airport there. Good Dutch Cigars at very reasonable prices. IMO.
If you are already in Udon, and in need of a few good smokes...PM me, and I will tighten you up.

jingjai you are a true gentleman.

I'll try and stock up in duty free but Qatar is bloody expensive and I'm flying direct to Thailand.

i was always under the impression that those areas are cheap as chips for duty free things..?

i recall buying in a liquor store in patters years and years back(corner of the junction of pattaya klang and second road)...cigars where hard to find, but there where one or 2 shops that stocked them usually next to the till and always a liquor store and JJ is correct...not stored very well and some where dry and stale...then when Robinson opened oppersite they stocked them a bit better in the Whisky and wine section, but i never came across 1 girl who liked the smell.....Men Men thats all you got, i also find i did'nt enjoy so much in the searing heat.... the right ambiance is vital to get the best out of your smoke.

Ham...look out for some Sweet Orient Mahari's, a flavoursome sweetish smoke slim style(panatela) 1 will last about 15-20 mins of regular puffing, very satisfying imo.

If on extended visa and hang around Thailand, Gourmet Markets in Bkk have decent selections and stored quite well, though pricing is hit and miss. Sold in the Wine Shop department. Forget which one, possible ChitLom or Paragon, had good selection.

Villa market is now carrying cigars. Cubans, which are a little pricey. Also some smaller Dutch cigars in tins of ten cigars.
Appeared to be stored somewhat properly.
