Best Cigar Establishment You Have Enjoyed

[SDShark]

Mine so far is Churchill's, a local B&M here. Comfortable leather seats, flat screens, a large humidor.

LEAF in Easton PA is my hometown B&M and my favorite! Nice selection, great staff, great food and always something on special.

They also have killer mojitos. Last time I was at Casa Fuente was two years ago when I was in Vegas for a bachelor party weekend. The groom and I bought two Casa Fuente cigars and mojitos, and it was a great cigar experience. It was almost ruined by some idiot sitting next to us who bought an $80 Opus X, and stubbed it out after three puffs. The manager asked if we did it, and I said I would never desecrate his store by wasting a great cigar like that.

Story time.

The wife I scheduled a quick getaway to the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country resort. I booked a room with a nice balcony and was looking forward to chilling and smoking. Unfortunately, the room overlooked the swim area, complete with lazy river, water slide, etc. and 14 million screaming kids.

The resort was nice, but definitely not the “quiet retreat” we were looking for. To say the least, we were somewhat disappointed.

Fortunately, on the property is a TPC golf course and an amazing steakhouse next to the club house. Not only was smoking permitted on the deck, but food and beverage service as well as cigars for sale were available.

After a lovely meal, sitting on the deck watching the sun set over the Texas Hill Country will enjoying a Siglo VI saved our trip, and for that reason will always be one of my more memorable smoking spots.

Casa Fuente
Casa de montecristo
Corona
Outlaw in kc

Okay, I've noticed a lot of people keep saying Casa de Montecristo, and I am curious as to what makes it so great? I've never been there, but I saw a picture in Cigar Snob that made it look like a night club. Is the cigar selection? Drinks? Can someone delve more into their experiences there, so I can get an understanding of what it's like?

Thanks!

Their cigar selection is pretty darn good. Prices are reasonable BEFORE IL/COOK COUNTY TAXES grrrrr....Atmosphere is nice. The VIP lounge is very classy. There's a handful of TVs, booths, bar (free soft drinks/water/coffee...BYOB). The owners are very personable and treat members from BOTL and out of town very well. Yes, the VIP lounge somewhat resembles a nicer club minus the shitty music and drunk dbags. There's also a conference room down there and a small movie theater. Any other questions?

the pictures make it look swanky, but it really isn't. it's just really nice. they have a tremendous selection and tend to get a lot of the htf stuff. they also have a vintage room where you can find some real prizes. and yeah, the downstairs is a great place. i know a couple of people that use it for a home office!

My favorite "establishment" is Plaza Monumental in Tijuana. Bring your own sticks, watch bullfights, cheep drinks, dancing and dinner afterwards...


I've yet to be "wowed" by a cigar lounge, but then I don't get out that much...

In no particular order...
La Casa Del Habano Cuban Cigar Shop – Rome Italy....this place is very high end and so is the pricing but how many times can you say you bought a CC in Rome?

Nassau Stogies (The Atlantic Tobacco Co.) Every time I go to Nassau I usually always visit the GrayCliff Resort and the Cigar Store there.
Prince George Arcarde at Bay Street

George Town, Grand Cayman---I end up here at least twice a year and end up buying me a few liters of Havan Club Rum...good pricing.
Cohiba Lounge & Cigar Emporium

Avignon, France----what a place to just take a few days and live the life...great town and along with Arleigh and a couple of other little cites...having a cigar here is memorable.
La Maison du Fumeur

Cannes, France----again a city that is only matched by the people who live and visit there.
Name: Civette Carlton

Athens, Greece----after you've looked at the ruins it's time to light up a cigar and cement the memory.
La Casa del Habano

Gibraltar---One of the best memories and having a great cigar, too.
Cigars Don Gabriel Gibraltar

I remember Cigar Masters in Boston, Ma. when it was on Newbury Street...had a pushed out huge window overlooking the street and you could people watch and have a cappacino/cigar at the same time.

There are a ton of places around the states that have great places to smoke..a lot have already been written about.

One of my all time favorites on cruise ships was on the Queen Mary 2.....Churchill Lounge.


Here are some photos of some of the lounges they have on cruise ships:


This is on the Explorer of The Seas

These two are on Holland America...not sure which ship though.



This is on Carnival.....Glory I think

Wisconsin's a little short on lounges statewide (come on-- no cigar lounges in tourist trap Wisconsin Dells???!!). But I was visiting Green Bay a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the hospitality at Titletown Tobacco - http://www.titletowntobacco.com/The_Lounge.html. A nice selection in the humidor-- stuff I haven't seen at my usual haunts. It's customarily a membership lounge, and the coolest thing about it is that members get a keycard so it is accessible 24/7!

Emerson's Cigars - home and first real lounge I hung out at, went to events at and met up with many BOTL's there
Casa de Montecristo - just an amazing place all around
Casa Fuente - a must visit as many times as possible when in Vegas

Stopped in Emerson's Cigars the day before deploying overseas in 2012. Met a retired Air Force Colonel there who made me feel right at home. After enjoying a Padron 1964, he went to his locker and handed me one of the Winston Churchill's he had. We both sat and enjoyed another great smoke together. I enjoy making every effort to visit local lounges wherever I go and have never been disappointed. Good company can always be found at a lounge.

Also hit Casa Fuente in April then again in August of last year. Paired an Anejo with JD Single Barrel and watched the world go by.

Without question, the coolest cigar lounge I've ever been to is the Foundation Room in Las Vegas. It's on the top floor of the Mandalay Bay with the best view of the strip possible. With hidden passage ways for celebrities, astonishing antiques and decor, and more - it's really the one of the coolest places I've ever been. The fact that you can enjoy a cigar there (after the restaurant closes at 10:00 PM) makes it all the better!

My next favorite is Lit at the Snoqualmie Casino. Great people, comfortable environment and very competitive prices (that are tax free due to being on a reservation) make it my favorite place to go.

I enjoyed going to Casa Fuente in Las Vegas, but honestly it was a little underwhelming. It had a great humidor, but it was much smaller and less comfortable than I would have hoped.

Here's my Yelp Reviews of them:
