Mr. Japan Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 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
utsao Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 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!
ryans Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 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!
First Lady Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Gino When you are in Shanghai go to see our good friend George Chen who is the owner of the Roosevlet Prime Steakhouse (fantastic food and place) http://www.rooseveltsteakhouse.com/home.htm George has a great humidor there and I know you will enjoy it Tell him Lisa from FOH sent you Ciao amore Lisa
Lotusguy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 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...
wen1979 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 wow.....looks awesome. i am going to try that place when i head off to shanghai =)

wen1979 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 awesome info on guangzhou.....i am heading there end of this month. gonna go check out the places you mentioned =)
CohibaBehike Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 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!
CBL Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 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! 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.
Mr. Japan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 Gracias Nino. But I was in Qingdao and Yanji only this time.
laficion Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I'm sure that you'll have a great time Gino, have a safe trip l'ami, ciao.
Xikar Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 There is a nice cigar club at Hilton SH, nice Cohiba selections.

I am going to be living here for a year while teaching at a university.
Chaki Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Mr Japan, when will you be in Hong Kong? Would you be available for a cigar?
bassman Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 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.
