Featured Cigar Lounge: La Casa De La Habana in Detroit

Filed under: Cigars

While many Detroit businesses are looking for the exits, La Casa del Habana decided it was time to enter the beleaguered city. The Michigan-based collection of tobacconists offers an upscale alternative to traditional lounge smoking with its private clubs. In Detroit, between the Opera House and Music Hall, you can enjoy a touch of luxury until 2 AM every day (except Sunday, when it closes at 9 PM) at a destination that features the city's largest walk-in humidor.

To access the second floor VIP lounge, the fee is $100 a month, and you are required to buy a box of cigars up front. But, you receive a private humidor that can accommodate up to 20 boxes of cigars, full use of the club facilities at any La Casa De La Habana location and two premium cigars every month. Members get the first shot at hard to find cigars when they become available and can enjoy special events not open to the public.

Detroit may need a bit of help, but it's great to know that it already has its own oasis.

La Gloria Cubana Super Roll Cigar Rolling Contest

Filed under: Cigars

A torcedor (which literally translates to ‘twister’, is the last thing you should do when rolling a cigar), or cigar roller, is a true artist with tobacco. Knowing all the work it takes to hand roll a cigar, it’s actually quite amazing they don’t cost more then they already do… rolling leaves into themselves, inspecting the best leaf for wrapping and sculpting the cigar to the requested shape. Earlier this month at the annual La Gloria Cuban Super Roll in Las Vegas, rollers got to compete for the top title of torcedor. If you think you have what it takes for future rolling events, sign up is about $500 (training included).
