Admire the Hand-Rolled Beauties at Casa Fuente
· “A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.” Groucho Marx
· “Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.” George Burns
Burns and Marx, great men of comedy who were forever associated with the “cigarro” as part of their routine, truly understood the beauty of the “small roll of tobacco leaf for smoking” as webster.com so simply puts it.
To the untutored nose, that’s what a cigar may only be, but for the rest of us who see a fine cigar as fine art, we know the best place to appreciate a stellar rolled one is in a cigar bar - here cigar aficionados can congregate and trade great stories centered around their obsession.
So let’s cut to the business at hand. While there are some amply suitable cigar bars in town, the high water mark that stands above them all is the Casa Fuente located inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. This is not up for discussion, ask any cigar smoker in town and they will confidently tell you that Casa Fuente simply rules the proverbial fine smoke roost.
Once you step inside you’ll find it hard not to understand why. You know you’re in for a treat from the huge walk-in humidor that greets you when you enter the premises. From here, take in the inviting nooks draped in rich wood paneling, the attractive tiles and colors (red and mustard-yellow) and the captivating outdoor patio setting.
And of course the reason why you will go - the fine hand rolled beauties, particularly the exclusive Arturo Fuente made in the Dominican Republic, that is worth the anticipation. Top it off with some fine cognac (you’ve already committed yourself so don’t stop now) and you’ll naturally take in the ambience, because it’ll be memorable.
A hint to the wise - happy hour is between 4-7pm daily, and the discount for the wine, scotch and brandy are worth noting.
Casa Fuente is open Sun-Thur, 10am-11pm; Fri-Sat, 10am-Midnight.
