Cubans in Vietnam?

[Anth87]

Hi all,

 

Hope everybody had a great weekend.

I'm off to Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) for a conference at the end of March.

Can somebody please advise whether there are any reputable vendors there or better to take your own stash?

 

Thanks in advance

Love Vietnam! 2 1/2 hour flight from Taiwan. I have yet to come across a cigar shop that I would buy from though.Your best bet will be the upper tier Hotels this is where I have found cigars in SE Asia. That said I always bring my own when I travel here (SE Asia) as prices are freaking ridiculous - $60 USD for a Lusitania, 50 for Epi 2's - bring your own, you'll be glad you did.

Siqar is excellent.

Random, I'll be in Vietnam end of March as well. Hanoi, Hoi An and Danang. If you're traveling about let me know.

That place looks awesome (Siqar)! Vietnam is super high on my places to visit, so I'll have to keep it in mind when I get over there. We have a pretty big Vietnamese-American community here in the Bay Area, and I've always really admired the people/culture, and of course, the great food.

More random, I'll be in Hanoi and Ha Long bay end of March early April. Thanks for the correction! Glad to hear about Sigar for next visit to HCMC.

I have added Siqar to my list of places to visit on my upcoming honeymoon. We will be bouncing around SE Asia for about a month so any tips that this community can provide for Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Dong Hoi in Vietnam. Then Siem Reap, Cambodia and also Bali!   It’s going to be a great trip!!!

I would definitely recommend siqar. I was there for a while on NYE in 2016 before heading out to meet some friends and tbwas great. Great cigars, great drinks.

Don't miss Hoi An, it's a bit Disney-fied but quite beautiful.
