Shanghai and Hong Kong airports

Gents

Looking for some advise on the above airport duty free humidors.

Is it worth searching the duty free for some fine cigars at a decent price or are they just as bad as most airports...

Cheers

Crap, god knows..

Will find out. Does it make a difference cigar and price wise?

Not a lot, the prices are pretty steep in China duty free..Hong Kong is a far better option price wise..if, & big if, they've started to regulate the humidors!

Hmmm that's why I thought.

Just the mother in law flys out next week and offered to bring back cigars, sounds like I am better off just leaving it and getting her to stick to the Rum

Get her to get some tins of pipe tobacco. If sealed will keep forever.

Doh. I just figured if the conditions of storage are hit and miss itd be a fool proofe alternative.

Would love to, but managing to find the time for a Puro is hard enough..

When I passed through Hong Kong in November the selection was very small and very expensive, just your run of the mill Cohiba and Monte's with a few NC's too.

The La Casa in the Sheraton Hotel was small but had quite a variety of the Asia Pacific Regionals, think London prices for them.

Which one's the better of the two?

Pudong..but I'd rather be there to pick them myself..the usual airport poor storage..
You'd only, I think, pass through Hongqaio if your flying internal in China or in/out from/to HK, I don't think they do any UK direct flights now but I may be wrong..

went through Hong Kong airport in September, only found a small selection of cigars, wondered if I had missed a a duty free shop somewhere, where they had a better selection

I too was recently traveled through Hong Kong. I found a small selection in the far corner of the duty free shop. They had RYJ, cohiab, monti, and I think HDM. I couldn't tell you if they were cheap or not as I don't have the experience. Some other things to pick up below.
Snake booze.
