Trip Overseas...

[Jamie76]

Wife and daughter are currently in Thailand.  I will be joining them in a few weeks.  On the way back, we will spend a couple days in Seoul.  Are there any particular bottles I should look for in the Incheon Airport, or in Bangkok?

Ha im in seoul now moving to thailand shortly. Will you be staying there long?

Pretty much all of the bottles in duty free thailand are the same as duty free seoul but they're substantially more than you would spend in the states. Some international versions, yes. Better, not really. But if you want some scotch with your cigars in thailand, then you might as well.

CCs are about three times the price of an internet value. In seoul near itaewon/noksapyung there is Burn in Hal, a cigar lounge run by Hal. Pricey on the sticks, but not too bad prices on a great scotch collection.

Have fun and if you need any further advice feel free to ask.

I'll only be over there a couple weeks unfortunately.
 
That is what I was wondering about...the international versions.  I looked at the duty free shops in Incheon and none of the brands really stick out, be it scotch or brandy, etc.

Not sure if you've gone/returned yet, but Johnnie Walker has as a few explorers club special editions out right now.  The duty free I was in recently let you try them first.  I was able to try to gold route and spice road ones.  Both were pretty interesting.

I'm back.  I seen the JW explorer club's and was thinking about the spice road edition.  Ended up not getting anything, although the prices on the Tesseron Lot 76 cognac was tempting.
