There has been a rise lately in cigar lounges and bars in upscale hotels around the world. Unfortunately a lot of the newer cigar lounges are modern and sleek with boutique spirits and contemporary furniture. I say unfortunately because there is something to be said about the traditional, old school, cigar lounge. I am talking wood paneling, big oversize leather chairs, brass railed bars and stocked with fine whiskey, scotch and rums. I have been to many such fine tobacconists and from time to time I purchase Arturo Fuente and other premium cigars online.<\/p>\n<p>But when traveling it is always nice to take a break and visit a fine cigar bar.<\/p>\n<p>Without filling an entire post with US cigar lounges, of which there are many fine ones, these are some of the best cigar lounges and cigars bars throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fairmont.com\/dubai\/dining\/thecigarbar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The Cigar Bar<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Cigar Bar in the Fairmont Hotel Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, boasts a walk-in humidor, fine cognacs and whiskeys, along with word class cigars. Open from 7pm to 2 am daily The Cigar Bar a relaxing place to light up a fine cigar and unwind.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldecuban.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Olde Cuban<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located in a 19th Century building formerly used as an Opium Den, this Singapore Cigar Lounge is all about the Cuban Cigar. Take a look at their selection and all the old Cuban Cigar brands are there, Montecristo, Partagas, Ramone Allones, Bolivar, Cohiba and more. Big leather chairs, hardwood floors and fine whiskeys lure the cigar smoker that wants to relax and look out onto the streets of Singapore.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clubmacanudo.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Club Macanudo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visiting New York city and want to experience a fine cigar bar? This place has it all. While it is open to the public don\u2019t think you\u2019re going to step in wearing shorts and sandals. Collared shirts are a must and why wouldn\u2019t you? Fine cigars, fine dining, humidor lockers for rent, handmade humidors for sale and a six page cigar menu make this a premier place to enjoy that night out. This is the kind of place you think of when it comes to a New York Cigar Lounge.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacasadelhabano.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">La Casa del Habano<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems that everyone who travels much or plans to has<a title=\"Prague Street Musicians\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thetravellingfool.com\/prague-street-musicians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Prague<\/a> in the Czech Republic on their list of places to see. After a long day of visiting the Castle and braving the crowds on Charles Bridge there is a place to unwind and relax in style. La Casa del Habano has a great lounge where you can enjoy a fine Cuban Cigar and get away from the crowds for a while.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g274958-d2016674-Reviews-Chicago_1933-Tallinn_Harju_County.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicago 1933<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the last several years Tallinn Estonia has become a stop on the European must see tourist trail. UNESCO Heritage sites by day and trendy bars at night. One of the newest venues doesn\u2019t look new at all. Named for the end of prohibition in the US, Chicago 1933 looks like you just stepped into one of Al Capones old haunts. They serve food and have a good selection of beers and spirits along with live jazz music. They have a small but decent selection of cigars but you can\u2019t beat the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/clubperdomo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Club Perdomo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bangkok and <a title=\"Thai Snake Handlers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thetravellingfool.com\/thai-snake-handlers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thailand<\/a> in general is another place on every ones travel bucket list. There are several cigar bars that have opened in Thailand in the last few years but probably the best is Club Perdomo in Bangkok. Smoking cigarettes inside the club is forbidden, special occasions require a jacket or in some cases a tuxedo and at no time are sandals, flip flops, T-shirts or collarless shirts allowed. But get past the dress code and a great experience awaits.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mandarinoriental.com\/manila\/fine-dining\/kiplings-cigar-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kiplings Cigar Bar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Manila Philippines is Kiplings Cigar Bar.
