How often do you get to go to Vegas and hang out in an iconic place like Casa Fuente?

Really though...if you're in Las Vegas and if 35 bucks is gonna break you, maybe Vegas wasnt a good destination choice to begin with. It's not like you're gonna buy 3 to smoke there & 6 more to take home with you.

Like others have said, its a small price to pay for the experience.

I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I go to Vegas all the time, and the experience wasn't that great.

I can think of half a dozen nicer cigar places I'd rather hang out.

Prime, Boca Raton FL
Smoke Inn, Margate FL
Burn, Naples FL
Smoke on The Water, Weston FL
Casa de Montecristo, Chicago IL
Cigar King, Skokie IL

Re: Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. Color me unimpressed.

It is a matter of opinion, that's 100% true.

Personally, my first time at Casa Fuentes was awesome, not really because of just where I was at, but rather the "whole" experience which was being there with a whole gang of friends living it up and having a blast. For me a location itself is not as important as the the friends I'm there with. Hell, I have the fondest memories when friends & I were in just in a plain ol garage or on some ordinary patio.:tu

True that! I have more awesome memories at Darrell's garage watching movies drinking Sierra Nevada than I do at any number of high price lounges

In January, I'll take any place in Vegas over Chicago. ;)

Now there's something we can agree on. I grew up on Lawrence & Pulaski. My dad said it was 8 yesterday, I said, "8 what" :)

Everything NOT Casa Fuente is huge mark up. The Casa Fuente's themselves average between $17-23 depending on vitola. I always make it a point to go there for scotch and cigars. This is bc I love the experience and the Casa Fuente lancero is my absolute favorite NC. Honestly for the experience and ~$20 a stick I don't mind it at all. When I don't want to smoke a Casa Fuente or pay a huge chunk, Pheasant cigars is the place to go.

Hope that helps if you ever make it to the desert Scott!

I think you meant Pheasant Cigars, correct?

I see what you mean about the architecture. Very well presented in its form. The way its outlined and then proportionally situated side by side is perfect.

Rhumbar is imo the best place on the strip to have a cigar. The selection is smallish, but the atmosphere blows Casa Fuente away.

I'm not Paul. I just lurk here. I'm guessing Paul is TBone (no hyphen)? I sometimes get PMs meant for him and have to let people know. :)

:r You got some big shoes to fill Paul2!

I have been to Vegas tons of times but never since I have been a cigar smoker. It sure changes everything when you become a cigar smoker, I would have bought a different home too.

Years ago people who have visited that establishment ended up having their credit cards compromised by someone working there. Have there been any recent people who have had this happen?

I was there in 2011 and had no issue. (Other than the cocktail service being slow as s---)
