I've seen them for sale at small places in GZ but you never know how long they've been sat behind the glass counter here. Aren't decent ones supposed to be kept in a humidor?

There is a proper Cigar shop on Shimain Island. Very close to the Hostel. Be prepared to pay though. I dont know if it has a humidor room. Jeez, im trying to quit smoking cigars. im on my last 5. now im craving one too. THANKS JERKS.

I bought one few years ago in Shenzhen. Small shop close to one of the Railway stations. MC was too dry and overpriced (doubled HK price).

You're better off the get them in HK. They are properly stored.

I usually go to the last hotel on the L side of Nathan (Mong Kok), if you're heading toward the sea (building no's decrease/bellow 100). Can't remember name of the hotel. Last or 2nd last building, before you hit the sea.

You can find 'Cubans/cigars retailers in HK' through Yahoo-gle search with addresses listed. Every district in HK has at least one Cubans shop.

I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer.
