CigarChoice.net- Cigar Reviews and News

Any cigar smoker knows, when you go to Las Vegas, the “holy grail” of cigars is Casa Fuente.  I go to Vegas fairly often, but I have yet to do a review of Casa Fuente.  I did not get any pictures, as I was busy smoking a cigar and drinking a beer to take any pictures.  On to the review…

The Casa Fuente Cigar shop is a shop dedicated to all Fuente products, from Opus, to Ashton, and everything in between that is manufactured by Fuente.  The great thing about this particular store is that they carry every rare Fuente product you can imagine.  From the Opus X Forbidden X and the Opus Chili Pepper, to the seasonal release of Anejo’s, they have it all.  Be prepared to spend some heavy $$ there if you REALLY want to enjoy yourself.  This time around, I bought myself a God Of Fire, and one of their trusty Mojitos to start with.  The cigar was $35.00 and the Mojito was $12.00.  After those were over, I opted to pick up a Casa Fuente house Corona (this is the ONLY place you can get these cigars, with the exception of one other place online, that I don’t think is supposed to sell them) for $18.00 and a Newcastle draft, of which I cannot recall the price.  The cigar and drink choices are excellent, and the staff are friendly, and not to mention, the waitresses are smokin!

Another thing that Casa Fuente is known for is their great collection of cigar paraphernalia. They have some very nice Opus X Dupont lighters, and the famous Cigar in a bottle of liquor.   I don’t recall what the liquor is, but for some reason I want to say its scotch.  Anyone that is a cigar smoker who goes to Vegas needs to visit Casa Fuente at least once during their trip.  Sit out on the patio, smoke a cigar, and have a nice drink.  There is nothing more relaxing, and the smokes and drinks are all top notch.  I am in vegas at least 4-5 times a year, and every time, I hit up Casa Fuente, because it is in fact very enjoyable.

Being that I just started up this blog, I thought it appropriate to review my home cigar shop for the first post in this blog.

My home cigar lounge is “The Humidor” at 12 E. Vine St, Redlands, Ca.  There is a nice lounge area with 4 huge leather chairs, and 2 flat screen televisions.  The “regulars” there are just like family to me.  The selection of cigars is one of the best I have seen in the inland empire, and the prices are very good in comparison to the rest of california.  We often spend many an hour playing darts, poker, or just shootin the breeze.  The cigars are kept in the highest quality conditions and the variety is outstanding.  You will be able to find a cigar for anyone.  From $2.00-30.00 per stick, no matter your budget, you can find something at “The Humidor” that you will enjoy.  There are also many events and a monthly poker tournament that take place at the shop.  The owners, Tim Hughes and Terry Dickey are two of the coolest people you’ll ever meet, with a real drive to see their shop succeed.  I love every day I spend there, and I hope it doesn’t change.  If you are ever in Southern California, a stop at “The Humidor” should be considered manditory!
