NYC Cigar Lounges Begin Reopening

With the summer in full swing and the COVID curve now flattened in New York for more than a month, the city’s longstanding cigar bars are making difficult decisions about the best way to begin reopening.

Fat Ash Cigar Lounge

Fat Ash Cigar Lounge in Ashland | CIGARFRIENDLY: Kentucky, USA

Blessed be this wonderful lounge in the bosom of America’s heartland, Ashland, Kentucky. If you need a smoky treat while driving down Interstate 64 at the junction of West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, I have just the place! Beautiful souls and owners, Dwight and Shannon Adkins caught up with me and we discussed the incredibly unique establishment that is Fat Ash as well as the jewel that is Boyd County, Kentucky and all it has to offer.

Vicente of London Premier Cigar Lounge & Shop| Cigar Friendly: Naples, FL

If you’re driving down to Naples from the North, take exit 111 which is Immokalee Road and head West until you see the Shoppes of Galeria. In this pristine shopping center, go to the Western most part and you will see Vicente of London. The self-proclaimed “Hidden Gem” by one of the owners, Phillip Beshara, is an absolute treat for the cigar lover. After having a beer and a cigar with Phillip, I would agree with calling the place a jewel indeed.

Southside Cigar & Tobacco | Cigar Friendly: Indianapolis, IN

A Wednesday morning in Indianapolis, a ten-minute drive south of the city center: four older men have taken a seat at the card table in front of the walk-in humidor and are immersed in their game. Opposite, in the lounge area, a small group talks about the most interesting offers from the local auto parts shops. The walls are decorated with cigar posters, boxes and souvenir photos of various festivals.

Let it Burn | Cigar Friendly: Naples, FL

The Rocky Patel signature lounge, Burn, pushes the envelope on what a luxury cigar environment should be.  The city of Naples, Florida by itself puts a demand on the local establishments to deliver only the highest quality product to its affluent citizens and Burn does not disappoint!  Old-school elegance lives in harmony with new-school swagger
