Twenty-five years ago, cigars didn\u2019t exist in the land of morning calm. Even now, only a handful of aficionados can be spotted in Seoul\u2019s scarce smoking rooms. It must be said, they have some of the toughest anti-smoking laws in the world. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

When Pierre Cohen-Aknine landed in bustling Seoul to launch the sale of Cuban cigars over twenty years ago, he had to start out from scratch. You couldn\u2019t find a single premium cigar in the country at the time – Cuban or otherwise. \u201cNot even in five-star hotels.\u201d Mr. Cohen-Aknine is no missionary, although he fondly recalls the \u201caroma of cigar smoke on Sundays at home in Paris when [he] was a child and when [his] father would play the piano in the lounge smoking his puro<\/em>\u201d. He had never even smoked a cigar himself, having only tried \u201ca cigarette at school at sixteen to look cool in front of the girls\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Young Koreans in search of an identity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI arrived in the cigar business in Cannes, at the 1994 duty free exhibition,\u201d he recounts. \u201cI saw the Habanos stand and went up to it, \u2018\u00bfHola, que tal<\/em>? Do you have anyone working in Korea? I\u2019d like to represent you for the domestic and duty-free market.\u2019 Cue improvised muttering from the Cubans\u2026 \u2018We\u2019re interested, we\u2019ll put you in touch with the Pacific Cigar Corporation [importer for the Asia-Pacific zone \u2013 Ed.]\u2019 One month later I signed a contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how Pierre Cohen-Aknine found himself tasked with introducing Cuban cigars into a country where cigars were entirely unknown, even amongst the upper classes which have emerged as Korea has progressed from its status of \u2018dragon\u2019 to \u2018newly industrialized nation\u2019. Those who smoke cigars today are therefore his \u2018babies\u2019. With so little history it\u2019s quite difficult to define the typical profile of a South-Korean cigar smoker. \u201cWe can, however, distinguish three groups. Firstly, there is the non-Korean clientele, the expatriates, who smoke socially; some organize themselves into clubs and hold regular dinners, like the Gaulois Cigar Smokers Club who have met every month since 1998. They are subsidiary directors of international companies, entrepreneurs, bankers, artists\u2026 And then there are the young Koreans, in search of an identity that will set them apart. They smoke in small groups and buy their cigars on the internet. Lastly, there is a segment of affluent, predominantly male, upper-class Korean consumers for whom the cigar has become part of their culture \u2013 limited, of course, to the few places where you are still allowed to smoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twice the price of cigars in France <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Korean legislation is very restrictive as to where people are allowed to smoke. Smoking in public places is strictly prohibited except for a few smoking rooms where only smoking is allowed i.e. eating and drinking is prohibited, \u201cyou\u2019re not even allowed to drink coffee,\u201d laments Pierre Cohen-Aknine.<\/p>\n

Due to its short history in the country and these exceptionally strict rules, \u201ccigar smoking remains very niche here,\u201d confides Piere Cohen-Aknine. What\u2019s more, given the high taxes on tobacco imports, cigars are very expensive in Korea – as they are almost everywhere in Asia – almost twice the price of cigars in France. In total, there are only five specialized cigar shops where you can purchase them (and where you are also allowed to smoke) plus a dozen or so tobacco shops that also sell other tobacco products (cigarettes, pipes, electronic cigarettes etc.) Outside of these outlets, Koreans who buy their cigars in packets have abandoned these \u2018physical\u2019 stores to purchase on the internet (despite it being totally illegal, as it is in France) or at duty free.<\/p>\n

By coincidence, or maybe because the Swiss brand wanted to test the potential of this new rich country, Davidoff entered the South Korean market in 1995, just a few months after Pierre Cohen-Aknine and his Havanas. For a long time, Habanos and Davidoff were the only two brands available in the country. But Davidoff\u2019s distributor, based in Hong Kong, has always considered South Korea to be secondary in comparison with other Asian markets. So much so that following the latest series of anti-smoking laws voted in in January 2015, the company closed its only store and now makes do with small scale distribution through direct sales. Yet during what Pierre Cohen-Aknine refers to as \u201cthe golden age of the 2000s when [he sold] around\u00a0110,000 premium cigars per year,\u201d other brands like Gurkha, Rocky Patel, Arturo Fuente, Olivia or La Aurora tried to penetrate the South-Korean market but they all failed or remained marginal. South Korea thus remains fertile ground for whoever wishes to sell cigars.<\/p>\n
