Where to buy cigarettes or tobacco (including foreign brands) in Ho Chi Minh City besides regular stores?

TL;DR
In Saigon, cigarettes and loose tobacco are commonly sold by street vendors on nearly every corner — you can approach any of them, not just one specific seller. Dedicated tobacco shops with a wide cigarette selection or European brands are rare.
What the community said
Dedicated tobacco shops with a wide cigarette selection are hard to find in Saigon — this remains a common question among travelers, and there's no single well-known address for such a store.

If you're after European-style loose tobacco rather than local Vietnamese cigarettes, ask street vendors directly — it's not always displayed openly. Pipes and related accessories are sold separately, not by tobacco vendors themselves.
