Davidoff Doubles Down On Vegas With New Cigar Bar

4/24/2016

Las Vegas is basically a cigar smoker's paradise. Yet somehow Davidoff—arguably the original luxury cigar brand—lacked a knockout presence there despite several upscale retail outposts scattered throughout the city.

Well, not anymore. The Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar makes a pretty dramatic statement, perched in a can't miss spot on the Vegas Strip at the tony Fashion Show Mall. It's a showstopper in a town that's not exactly lacking in glamour.

While not quite as large as the new Montecristo Cigar Bar, size isn't everything. The Davidoff bar has a fantastic and obviously carefully curated selection of spirits, including an impressive pairings menu of pre-selected cigar and beverage combos starting at a very reasonable (for Las Vegas) $22.

Speaking of reasonable, a pour of Glenlivet 12 is around $12, which is not bad at all. Check it out:

The interior is obviously beautiful, with the typically understated European flair we've come to expect from the brand. However, the 50-seat outdoor patio is the fair weather spot for us. It's a perfect place to drink in all the atmosphere the Strip has to offer. It doesn't get much better, especially on sunny 72-degree afternoon in April.

Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar is the latest in a series of partnerships between the Arcella family and Davidoff USA. Clearly, these are good times for both parties as Davidoff pushes beyond its rather conservative past with a series of exciting new products, and the Arcellas continue to innovate in terms of presenting those products in new and exciting ways.

Our perfect paring for a heady afternoon of shopping and dining? A Davidoff Nicaragua and one of the bar's signature cocktails, Zino's Coffee, combining Stoli Vanilla, Kaluha, Espresso and Dark Creme de Cacao. It's a combo that matches up well with the city's energy level—and offers a lot of enjoyment and atmosphere for around $30.

First Look: Montecristo Cigar Bar, Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the most cigar friendly towns in the world, and it just got a boost with the recently opened Montecristo Cigar Bar. Located at Caesars Palace casino, adjacent to Old Homestead, across from Nobu Restaurant and Lounge, this clubby, luxurious cigar bar has it all.

The cigar lounge will pair notable cigar offerings with fine whiskeys, small bites and more, in a contemporary, organic 4,000 sq ft environment, designed by the award-winning architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, and executed by Bergman, Walls & Associates. State of the art ventilation will keep guests feeling fresh and comfortable, and the space extends outdoors into a beautiful courtyard.

Cigar aficionados will most appreciate the cigar retail area and humidor, offering famous brands like its namesake Montecristo, Romeo Y Julieta, H. Upmann, Padron, La Flor Dominicana, Arturo Fuente, Ashton, San Cristobal, La Aroma de Cuba, My Father and many more.

The retail shop and humidor are comprised of two intersecting circles with custom curved glass walls and shelving. In the retail shop, floating wood and glass jewel cases create an elegant display for the cigars. Top-of-the-line accessories will also be available for purchase, including S.T. Dupont. The spacious 400 sq ft humidor can store up to 1,000 cigars in a climate controlled environment, one of the largest in the city. The transparent walls visually connect the shop and humidor with the bar/lounge, highlighting the relationship between the three areas.

Montecristo Cigar Bar will also serve guests a selection of dishes to compliment the space and its offerings, including: a selection of domestic and imported cheeses, charcuterie, spicy pork rinds and house-made vegetable chips. Lavazza coffee will also be available, including tableside French pressed coffee.

“Caesars Palace is in the midst of a beverage and nightlife renaissance with the refurbishment of our iconic Lobby Bar and Sports Book bars, the addition of the cutting edge VISTA Cocktail Lounge, and of course we are home to OMNIA nightclub, arguably the most important club in the world. These new outlets pair perfectly with our incomparable lineup of stars, celebrity chef offerings and luxury amenities,” said Caesars Palace Regional President Gary Selesner. “Montecristo Cigar Bar is a continuation of this renaissance, and will offer our guests the finest in cigars, whiskey and other fine beverages, while in a contemporary and inviting space featuring a walk-in humidor and cigar store, unlike anything else in the city. Our ambition is for Montecristo to be the best place in Las Vegas to smoke a cigar with a drink, while watching a stirring sporting event or, by special arrangement, as part of a gourmet meal from Old Homestead, Nobu or Restaurant Guy Savoy. We think this unique new offering is the perfect marriage of two world-famous brands, Caesars Palace and Montecristo.”
