Cigar Journal’s Cigar Trophy competition gets fiercer each year. The 2018 winners were decided – as always – by public votes from across the world and were announced at this year’s InterTabac tradeshow in Germany to a packed audience of the great and the good of the cigar world.
Rocky Patel’s luxurious BURN Lounge in Pittsburgh scooped up the Best Cigar Lounge award. Since the opening of the first Burn Lounge in Naples, Florida, in 2010, Patel has since spread the concept to four other US locations.

Mixing a heady blend of Cuban, Asian and Mediterranean influences, the lounge includes members’ lockers, cool music and a walk-in humidor featuring the best of the New World, plus pre-embargo Cuban smokes.
