nbhwarrior Posted January 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I am sailing on the millennium in February it is my first time cruising in asia, although travel to asia a few times my ports of call in order are Singapore - marina bay Bangkok (Laem Chabang), Thailand Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My), Vietnam Chan May, Vietnam Hanoi (Halong Bay), Vietnam and finally hong Kong can anyone tell me if there are duty free shops at these ports specifically selling Cigars, as starting in Singapore and trying to avoid paying duty on tobacco on entry, I know through being in some parts of Asia before I haven't always found it easy to get cigars :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpos Posted January 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2016 No duty free shops at Vietnam ports - they are all industrial ports and no shops of any kind nearby. Hong Kong will be your best bet, particularly if you are flying in or out of HK and also Singapore airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelMore&More Posted January 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes it will be hard to fins cigars there. Your best bet is HK but it is your last stop. Do not waste time looking for a duty-free shop, the whole country is duty-free. No taxes in HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DipBrat Posted January 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If the issue is finding cigars rather than duty. There is a cigar store in the Marina Bay Sands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
