Miami’s Best Cigar Lounges: Ideal Places for a Luxurious Smoke

Miami’s Best Cigar Lounges: Ideal Places for a Luxurious Smoke

August 2, 2017

Cigars have long been associated with living “the good life.”

Legendary Boston Celtics coach Arnold “Red” Auerbach used to light up a “victory” cigar the instant he felt a game was in hand – even if it was still going on.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Michael Jordan are three alpha males who’ve made the image of an expensive stogie placed in their mouths – say, while conducting business or while out on the golf course – part of their personal brands.

But you need not be a world-famous star to enjoy a well-constructed cigar – especially if you live in Miami at One River Point. That’s because we have many a luxurious cigar lounge conveniently located for your smoking pleasure.

So, whether your favorite brands come from Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras or the Dominican Republic, there’s a cigar lounge in Miami ready to meet your preferences.

RUMBAR/Ritz-Carlton

RUMBAR-Ritz-Carlton If you’ve got an affinity for the look and feel of pre-Castro Cuba in the 1940s, then RUMBAR is for you. The recently updated space features dark, rich woods and several contemporary design touches.

The recently updated space features dark, rich woods and several contemporary design touches. The ambience is perfect for intimate chatting – or just listening to the array of Latin music (traditional, pop and Top 40) that thumps all night long. And be sure to pair your cigar with one of RUMBAR’s superb drink options – which include nearly 90 varieties of rum, piscos and cachacas.

RUMBAR is located in the Ritz-Carlton at 415 Grand Bay Drive, Key Biscayne, FL 33149; 305-365-4500; ritzcarlton.com.
