In Guangzhou you can go to Backstreet in the CITIC building basement and there's a tobacconist in there, in fact you buy Cigars pretty much anywhere in Guangzhou....

I've seen a couple in that fancy neighborhood where the American consulate is.

in guangzhou they have a lot of black market cigars that are not on display go when no one else is around and use a translation to request cigars or say american cigars they will get the hint

but they are usually old, different stores have different brands

I think for hookah the glass pipe will be better choice. I heard that there are variety of pipes available and it is of now available in new designs. I personally think d place for cigars guangzhou is a good place for cigars and hookahs. shisha reviews

If you are in Shenzhen, you can buy Cuban cigars at Airport or Railway Station. In mainland China, Cuban cigars cost 50% more than in Hong Kong.

I would make day trip to HK. Every price in HK is on 20% discount to mainland price.

I ordered a box of cohiba robustos at cigarofcigars.com  and they where delivered with all the authenticity seals that back up their genuinity. I had them shipped to Shenzhen and the only problem is that it took around 12 business days to get them, also they only take paypal. 

The key to low profile marketing is to have a high post count question and anwer. I have a fantastic range of Rolex watches I want to sell. But I will wait till me and my sock puppet have 5000 posts each before I advertise.

Go to HK. Tsim Tsa Tsui/Mong Kok: last hotel, close to the beach on L side of Nathan, if you're heading toward the Port, is my spot for cohibas.

I answered that Q 2 Y ago. I remember now.
