Colt45 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Cigars as luxury items - what is sown is what is reaped.....
ronin Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Cigars as luxury items - what is sown is what is reaped..... Agree. They are being marketed as such and will hurt them overall. Hanging on to the next big revival being Cuban cigars in the US, is like chasing rainbows.
Scdalak Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Boom or Bust almost every Hotel has one, they are alot of fun and a necessity for most Casinos. I'm headed out in a few weeks and can't wait for my first stick at Rhumbar at the Mirage, no better place in America to light up undisturbed!
sblevit Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Vegas is the ONLY city in the US that caters to cigar smokers.
thechenman Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 I love smoking cigars in Vegas. Casa Fuente and Rhumbar are two great spots to kick back and enjoy a fine cigar. While you can smoke in certain areas of the casino floors, it ruins my experience when people are giving me the evil eye or waving their hands in front of their face.
Van55 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 I've had some really enjoyable cigar smoking experiences in Napoleon's Lounge at Paris in Vegas. I wonder if it is still there and cigar-friendly. The dueling pianos act wasn't particularly good, but smoking there when the piano's weren't dueling was great.
LLC Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Napoleon's is still cigar friendly and the dueling pianos are still as you remember. Better choices are Casa Fuente, Rumbar and the new Crystals lounge in The Cosmopolitan.
Scdalak Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Did I mention Rhumbar???lol.... Especially on a cool night when they have the flame pits on? 5 days and counting!!!!
ZinZan Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I'm gonna check out casa fuente hopefully today and will try to check rhumbar during this trip
Lotusguy Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 My next visit won't be until CES in January '12

Im not sure what they are called. If you've had them, what did you think of them?

Im not sure what they are called. If you've had them, what did you think of them? Plato, they are quite good - very similar to an Opus X but with a different wrapper. I would recommend to try the Lanceros, if you can. Pricey stuff, though.

LLC Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I'll be down for CES as well. I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and had the Fuente Opus X double robusto that is exclusive to Casa Fuente, very good but like most Opus X's it was very strong. Best after a big steak dinner at Joe's in the forum shops.
thechenman Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Plato... There are some places on line where you can find the Casa Fuente cigars, but the prices are ridiculous. The cigars themselves in LV are already high priced. Best bet is to have someone who is going to Vegas help you out by picking some up for you. I'd send you some myself, but I'm all tapped out. I'll keep you in mind though on my next trip out.
kyee Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Rhumbar and Casa Fuente are always on my to do list when in Vegas. I'll be there Oct 18-21. I haven't been to Crystals at the Cosmo yet, I'll check that place out next week. I also like to have a smoke at the piano bar next to the Bellagio front lobby. it's cigar friendly, and a good spot to people watch.
