Cigars at Disney World!

[N2Advnture]

In a time where it seems like anyone and everyone is banning smoking of any sort, who would thought you could find a cigar and a place to smoke at Disney?

Awesome!

15 June 2007: Fuego by Sosa Cigars Opens at Downtown Disney Pleasure Island

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The rich enticing aroma of premium tobacco welcomes cigar aficionados to Fuego by Sosa Cigars, an upscale cigar bar now open at Downtown Disney Pleasure Island at Walt Disney World Resort.

Cigar connoisseurs can savor a smoke and enjoy other tobacco products in an intimate lounge setting where premium wine, beer, spirits, plus specialty coffees and other non-alcoholic beverages are served daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

The new lounge is a tribute to four generations of the Sosa family with pictures of family members decorating the walls. The gathering place blends contemporary furnishings and high tech with old-world charm. Pendant-style light fixtures adorn the room while a hand-crafted glass bar top resembles a floating block of ice. The back bar is illuminated with silhouettes of tobacco leaves and back-lit with images of fire. Custom-designed, hand-crafted wooden humidors hold more than 100 facings of hand-rolled premium cigars -- from the legendary Fuente Fuente Opus X to the highly rated house-branded Sosa cigars. An expanded terrace offers guests outdoor seating as well.

"The Sosa family is honored to open a second location at Downtown Disney, which will allow guests to indulge in life's simple pleasures," said Alex Sosa, director of operations.

Sosa Family Cigars and Walt Disney World Resort have enjoyed a long-standing relationship over the past ten years. Downtown Disney West Side is also home to Sosa Family Cigars, a premium cigar store showcasing a large walk-in humidor and the art of hand-rolling cigars.

I saw that while I was at Disney last month. I did not get to go in since we had our granddaughter with us.

I remember how wild she was in the candy/fudge store nearby. I am sure I would of acted that way in the cigar store.

Actually, Disney is pretty smoker friendly. I had a suite at the Saratoga Springs resort and they had smoking rooms. I had a non smoking room, but there was a balcony that I was able to go out onto and enjoy a cigar.

I believe they recently banned smoking in all their hotel rooms and on the balconies. Smokers must go to certain designated areas at the resorts to smoke now.

Well, it was last summer, so you may be right.

 

[cvm4]

Not even on the balcony? The nerve of them!

 

[CWS]

Well they do call it Pleasure Island. Very cool.
