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.

Clove ciggies can be purchased from most Indonesian stores / restaurants (esp the Causeway Bay ones..)

Any tips for type or brand of cloves? What is the average price range? Know of a particular shop thats good in Western District?

What about Cubans??

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!
