Las Vegas cigar recommendations?

headfirst · 10/02/2023 04:30 PM

I'll be in Vegas in about a month (U2 at the Sphere!) and wondered if there's any cigar shops I need to hit while I'm there. I've read on here that there are some fans of Casa Fuente. Is that more for the lounge experience or are there some HTF's there that make it worth looking around the humidor? I'm going with someone who's not a smoker and only there for a day or so, so I'm more interested in good shops to check out than lounges to hang out in.

Casa Fuente is in the shops but it's on the corner, it's not a huge lounge, but it had decent seating & you can smoke there for sure. Get the mojito and a few sticks and enjoy! Only place I've been able to find the Phantom Lanceros is there, they limited them to 2/ day when they did have them, more than likely they won't, but worth checking. They have all sorts of Opus X rolls that you couldn't get any place else when I was there, otherwise pretty normal selection of stuff AF makes. I've been to a few other whiskey bars, but didn't seek out any other cigar lounges I took plenty with me when I went, prices of course are insane, so I always had 3-4 on me n reloaded when we went back to the hotel room. Enjoy the trip man! Haven't seen U2 in years! That new Sphere looks awesome! Have fun

Casa Fuente is a great spot, it has a small humidor however there are a lot of sticks in there that you can only buy there plus they typically have other limited AF options. It's mostly about the experience, great drink options and conversations.

If you go down to the old strip find my friend Paul Vato, he has his own brand and is fun to hang out with, there's no dedicated lounge but he's in Binions so you can sit anywhere and smoke.

If you want to get away from the strip head over to Henderson and check out the Man Cave.

I love Cigar Box. Great selection, wonderful staff, comfortable and clean. Top notch in my book, and the place I always go to when visiting Las Vegas.

Eight Lounge in Resorts World is a great place

En Fuego is a bit off the strip and is a good lounge/humidor. They had some of the special Fuentes a few years ago when I was there. Casa Fuete is a must stop, Montecristo Lounge also in Ceasars is a great lounge, like most of the Vegas shops, it's very expensive. Great drinks though.

I think En Fuego is a new location since I was there, so maybe it's still good lol

Have a great trip and enjoy the show Gary!

So I made it to Casa Fuente and that's about all I had time for. I was disappointed. The selection was pretty bad. There were maybe 5 Lost City sticks and that was it for Opus. They did have their house stuff in stock. The guy admitted to me that they were intentionally withholding the good stuff because the Big Smoke is happening soon. I almost walked out empty handed until I saw the JC Newman American sticks so I grabbed a couple of those since I had been curious about those.

The Mojito was good, the cigar was pretty good, but I could've done without the Latin Pop/Rock cranking the whole time. The Montecristo lounge in Paris Las Vegas looked much better but they seemed to be fixing the place up for the Big Smoke so it was closed the whole time I was there. Definitely picked the wrong time to go for hitting the cigar joints.

But the concert made up for it big time. Fantastic show, and the Sphere is a very cool place!
