The Best Places to Smoke a Cigar This Fall

A great cigar “experience” often involves factors beyond the cigar itself. What you have to drink, who you’re smoking with, and where you light up can all affect how much you enjoy (or don’t enjoy) any given smoke session. Today, we’ll highlight a few locations across the country that supply excellent atmospheres for cigar lovers of all kinds. Here are four of the best places to smoke a cigar this fall:

The Cohiba Experience at the Ritz Carlton Bacara

No brand embodies luxury quite like Cohiba. So it should come as no surprise that the Cohiba Experience at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, provides an exemplary smoking environment. The al fresco ambiance is premium and modern, and the Ritz Carlton Bacara’s cigar selection is top-tier (with plenty of Cohibas to choose from). In addition to the upscale bar and food options, this lounge boasts incredible, unique views of the Pacific Ocean — perfect for relaxing on a cool autumn afternoon.

Club Macanudo (New York) 

Located on the other side of the country, the original Club Macanudo in New York City delivers a truly archetypal cigar lounge experience. If you enjoy classic cigars, cocktails, and food options like filet mignon and blackened tuna steak, then the original Club Macanudo is a must-visit destination. Note a second Club Macanudo in the USA is now up and running in Bossier City, Louisiana. 

The Preserve Club

Some cigar lounges are much more than just cigar lounges. The Preserve Club in Richmond, Rhode Island, offers guests spectacular amenities like access to an 18-hole golf course, hiking trails, tennis courts, a full spa, and much, much more. While we recommend spending as much time as possible at this stunning resort, you can also visit the cigar lounge for a single smoke if you’re so inclined. 

Outlaw Cigar Brewery

Looking for something a little more tailgate-esque? Then Outlaw Cigar Brewery in Kansas City, Missouri, has you covered. Boasting 24 in-house craft beers, 18 large-screen TVs, and over 150 whiskeys, Outlaw Cigar Brewery is a dynamite place to assemble your crew and smoke away a fall afternoon watching football or taking in live music.
