Shops in Phuket

[fady]

I'm heading to Phuket next month and wondering if anyone knows any good cigar shops to stock up in?

Unfortunately not stopping off in Bangkok or anything, straight to Phuket and back.

Much appreciated,
Fady

Lucky bugger!
I don't know of any cigar shops in Phuket, but if you go to Otop shopping market at Patong (just up the road from Jungceylon shopping mall), look for a bar called Blondies2. The guy there, Mick, is an Aussie ex pat, and a great guy. He'll look after you. He might even know where a cigar shop is.
Hope you have a great trip mate.

Will make sure to check it out Mitch, we're staying only a few streets away from there.

I didn't see anything near the banyan tree. There are shops apparently around some hotels but the prices are legendarily...expensive.

I was advised to buy at duty free.

Is there a duty free cigar shop in Phuket airport?

Been there a couple of times and I wouldn't recommend anything! Massage on the other hand

Am I going to have to be THAT GUY? ...Yes.

Bring lots of money and just say Phuk et, buy everything in sight.

Thanks for the info gents, looks like I'll have to blow my money on massages, ping pong shows and cheap suits.
