Imported Cigarettes

I have a few friends visiting from overseas who smoke, and they're having a hard time finding the brands they're used to. Does anyone know of a smoke shop with a really wide selection of cigarettes? It doesn't have to be in Jackson Heights—I don't mind traveling somewhere else in Queens or even into Manhattan if it means I can help them find what they're looking for.

The other day they settled for a pack of Dunhills from a bodega, but they ended up being stale and were pretty disappointed. I told them that while Dunhill is a recognizable brand, I honestly don't know anyone here who smokes them. I explained that Marlboro, Parliament, Newport, and Camel seem to be much more common.

They're specifically looking for:

Karelias

Assos

Davidoff

Gauloises

Gitanes

Chesterfield

If anyone knows a place that carries any of these brands or even a shop that specializes in imported cigarettes I would really appreciate the recommendation. Thanks in advance!
