Hi all, thanks to everyone who's answered my previous topics.


I'm in the final two weeks of my four-week trip to Mauritius (my first time here) and planning to move here from the UK and get a 10-year retirement residency permit in the autumn. One thing I've struggled with is finding shops that sell cigars and pipe tobacco. Does anyone know of any such shops in Port Louis or Curepipe? Google Maps suggested Kennedy's in Port Louis but when I got to the area it was nowhere to be seen! Thanks.


(You can buy a limited range of Davidoff cigars at Chez Popo in Trou-aux-Biches (cash only, but there's an ATM not far away.) I got an excellent one - lasted over an hour - for about Rs1,400, in Davidoff's store in London the same cigar is over twice the price, £53 each - Rs3,000. Another reason to move to Mauritius!!!
