    Absinthe and Cloves

    Does anyone know where to buy Absinthe in HK at a decent price? I bought once in USA but it was very pricey and semi illegal depending on the ingredient potency. Is it totally legal in HK?

    Also where can i buy high quality cloves cigarettes? I think they come from India or Indonesia not sure. What about good Cuban cigars?

    Thanks.

    Proper absinthe cannot be purchased in Hong Kong or USA. I import my absinthe from this site based in Spain (I have been using this site for 5 years now, with no problems at all). I recommend the Swiss absinthe Duplais. My personal favourite is the Spanish absinthe Segarra.

    Djarum is the most popular brand of cloves, at least in NYC. For Cubans, you can't beat Arturo Fuente, Romeo y Julieta and Cohiba. I love a good Partagas (NOT Cuban) too. Sounds like my kinda party! Cloves, absinthe and cigars

    Whoa, the shipping cost would be phenomenal. If you're picking some up, I'd love to get a bottle or two so we can both save on shipping.

    Actually usually what I do is have it shipped to my family's home in Canada, then whenever someone comes to visit, they bring me a bottle

    lol I guess that works too. Since my parents live in Austria, I should just have 'em bring me some the next time they come back.

    Yeah, I noticed that earlier when I saw the website in Spain carries absinthe from Austria Danke. Shoulda been more specific!
