It seems that my first months of the 2011 will be in mainland China and more precisely to visit factory areas in Qindao,Yanji and Yunnan beside HO in Shangai.

Any LCDH in those places :-)

Really any up here can give me some ideas of these area? only factory-cities?

Thank you

Hi there Mr Japan, I'm pretty sure you can find some fine cigars at 5 star international hotels in those cities. But might be best to bring your own (read my experiences in Shanghai from another post)!

And happy Chinese New Year!

If I'm not mistaken, I think the LCDH is in the Westin Hotel in Shanghai, but not too sure about that.

Or could be the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. In South East Asia it's usually in the Mandarin, on occassion in the Westin.

Enjoy China!

I only know official LCDH in Beijing and Shanghai. I used to be in China every month until about a year ago and never saw a LCDH in the other cities. Prices are pretty high. I resorted to bringing my own smokes...

Nino, I check on your site probably once a week to see what you've been up to, you have a great collection of stories! Plus, you have some great cigars that you've smoked on there that have just blown me away!

Yeah most Westins have a LCDH. There's one here in Taipei as well!

Have fun! And remember to negotiate!!!! Nothing in Asia is sold for the retail price.

Any thoughts on where to get smokes in Chengdu? I am going to be living here for a year while teaching at a university.

How time flies. I was last in Shanghai, Chengdu & Kunming in 1989. Probably wouldn't even recognize the cities now. So much modernization going on. Of course the rice paddies are timeless.
