kwsaw63 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Nope, they are actually quite on the look out for very taxable items as from what i heard they have quotas to achieve. And we use the word "rilek" not "lepak" in malaysia. haha I must be lucky then. Have had multiple shipments since 2011 with no problems. I even walked thru KLIA with my coolidor when I moved back from Shanghai in 2011.

sengjc Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Just get a few packs of duty free cigars at KLIA when coming through. I think you are allowed to bring in up to 25 sticks.
Fuzz AI Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I wouldn't buy from KLIA. I was there earlier this month and found mold on quite a few cigars. They've got their humidifier cranked up on high.

Fuzz AI Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 On my last trip, I went to the one near the Aerotrain, though I have found mold in the other store too on previous occasions.
maxcjs0101 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 KLIA cigars are from PCC and for Cohibas they are mosty 2013 stock. However i saw a dude who bought a box of CoRo and the appearance were very dull.

sengjc Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 You're allowed to bring in 50 sticks but its quite relaxed for hand carry cigars. I see, I see. Yeah they are quite relaxed for hand carries and I hear they are not too fussed about the size of the sticks, more just the number. You can be bringing in Monte A's and double coronas, so as long as you keep the number of sticks to the quota - it's all good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
torsion Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Bumping this thread for advice from the locals in KL - which places are ok to bring your own sticks? I am passing through for 2 nights to see family next month and will have my own supply with me. Should note if I see any interesting sticks I will of course buy and sample!

I think every venue is ok with regard to bringing your own cigars to smoke as long as you are a customer. Grab a drink at the bar when you come in and have a ask. At very worse, they may say "no" which I highly doubt will happen seeing that you are a paying customer. 1
westg Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 went to Havana lounge and they were ok with it...I am actually back in KL between the 7th to the 10th of May for a wedding. You have to buy at Marinis on 57 but well worth the visit..Nobu is one floor down if you like amazing Japanese food.
