If I pass by a cigar store, I will let you know.
As a point of reference, I left my Ipod Touch (32gb) on the plane to HKG so I was shopping for a replacement in Hong Kong. The shops in Mongkok and TST had prices from U.S. $277-$310 and the price at a store at the airport was $348. Meanwhile it was $257.54 on amazon.com. I wouldn't buy anything at HKG.
