Yamamoto Tabako-ten

A valuable place to buy cigars in Kumamoto, with Cuban cigars such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Romeo y Julieta available. It is a reliable stop when you run out of cigars while traveling, and it also carries hand-rolling tobacco supplies. The friendly female shopkeeper is well regarded, and there is an air-conditioned smoking area inside the shop where you can smoke right after buying. Rather than a bar for lingering, this is a practical place to secure the cigars you need and enjoy them on the spot.
