| | | 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  | |
