finy Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hey, I was wondering if there is anywhere in Thailand to buy quality cigars and scotch Whiskey, in Thailand. I've tried a tobacco shop before and I can only describe the experience as unpleasent. I would like to know if there are any specialist cigar shop, and likewise, a nice liquer shop where quality whiskey can be purchased? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There are two or three cigar shops in Pattaya. Dont know how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Well it would help if you give us your definition of, "quality scotch Whiskey" Many over here seem to think JW Black fits the bill, I prefer single malts from the isles, names like Ardbeg, Highland Park, Talisker, Macallan and Laphroaig spring to mind. Yes occasionally these can be spotted and should be snapped up on sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbymd Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 As of a couple months ago, there was a good cigar shop in Pattaya, between Beach Road and Second Road, just down from Mike Shopping Mall. They always have a decent selection and reasonably priced. As for whiskey, careful now, what is good for one is not for all. That topic fits between women and religion.

Probably one of the better selections, of both, in town. If you are really particular, such items can be found at the more exclusive private clubs and 5-star hotels [in house shops].

BngkkB Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There are quality Cigar Shops "Habanos" in a lot of the nicer Hotels, JW Marriott Sukhumvit Soi 2, for example. "Habanos" stores are filled with Cuban Cigars, Try the Hoya de Monterey, Cohiba, Romeo Julitta just to get started. I have also seen Chivas 21 year at the liquar department of the food section of Emporiam. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spearfish Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 cigars can be found in in nakhon phanom .

richard_smith237 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) You don't mention your location: In Bangkok, there is (or used to be) a cigar shop in All Seasons Place near the Conrad Hotel. Their range was quite extensive. Regarding Whisky - Glenmorangie and decent Whisky's of that standard can be found in Villa and Gormet Markets throughout Bangkok.

BigJohnnyBKK Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I reckon if you asked the concierge at the Oriental or Peninsula Hotel they could help you, may well such a shop right in the lobby. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raro Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I visited both shops in Pattaya myself the other day, almost only cuban cigars. Cheap Cortez and then up to cohibas which were between 1200 and 1800 a pop. Both shops had more or less the same selection. sent from my Android phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique355 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I love to visit the Cigar and Whiskey lounge in the Hyatt (lower lobby level), which sells you the best cigars individually or a whole box. They have all the best names like Cohiba, Trinidad, Hoyo etc. They also have a large collection of aged single malts and again you can get a glass or a bottle. I leave my boxes and bottles there and they keep them in perfect condition. My favorite cigar? Cohiba Behike. My favorite malt? Glenfarclas 25 years old.

Rob8891 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 WHISKY = Scottish whisky ("scotch").... the real McCoy (no, that's not a brand!!) WHISKEY = Irish booze, or something totally alien Go for one of the Islay malts ...Bowmore, Laphroig, Bruichladdich... or from Skye, there is Talisker, which is a good dram. But for <deleted> avoid stuff like Teacher's and some of those other naff blends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaMah Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 When I want a taste of good whiskey I reach right past the bottle of Oban in my cupboard and grab the Jameson. Delicious, reliable and available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do not disagree with your choices, excepting Bruichladdich as I have not had the pleasure of having its aquaintance, something I would like to put right in the near future, however there are some good Irish Malts, Connemara Peated Single Malt, I have fond memories of.

To me, Bruichladdich is similar to, but a bit less smokey than, Laphroig. I'd also give the Spey malts a miss. IMO they are too sharp. I have to confess total ignorance about Irish malts (amongst many other ignorances on my part!) ....I'll have to some research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnehaha Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I remember seeing a shop that fits that description on the Sukhumvit strip, just past the park by Emporium on the way to Soi 22. despite the the fact that the thread is months old, the shop you are talking about is pacific liqour Yes Pacific Liquor is directly across street from Villa Supermarket, crosswalk is at Suk Soi 33. The woman owner is quite nice and they are trying to sell out stock to close the shop. This has been going on for more than a year. Lately, she doesn't seem to be open some days. I think her health is not good. They have parking, well you can park in an empty lot just before the shop. She also has lots of cigars, and I think... has a humidor. I have never bought cigars there. And I do not know about the selection. booze prices are slightly below market rates. Much cheaper than Emporium (I hate that place). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
