Indulge Yourself at Whisky Tango Foxtrot in Malaysia

If you’re planning an exotic vacation to Kuala Lumpur, you’ll want to check out Whisky Tango Foxtrot, the only private cigar lounge in Malaysia. This members-only club sells a selection of Cuban and non-Cuban cigars, plus a tempting array of whiskies, champagnes, wines and micro-brewery beers. The posh interior is a blend of modern and WWII Britannia, with satellite TV and WiFi.

If you can’t make it to Malaysia for the holidays this year, you can still enjoy some spirit from Whisky Tango Foxtrot by ordering their Christmas Gift from the Gods. This box of ten Robusto cigars is sure to please the discerning smoker on your list.

These strong cigars are produced by master cigar maker Jose Seijas at the renowned Tabacalera de Garcia Cigar Factory in the Dominican Republic. The cigars are hand rolled from Dominican Olor and Piloto leaves for a flavor that combines sweet vanilla and a hint of cinnamon. Each cigar is 5” long, 50 ring and comes in an individual aluminum tube for extra freshness.

Bar Centro Terrace at the Bazaar is the Hippest Hang in L.A. for Cigar Lovers

Los Angeles has a reputation for having some of the toughest anti-smoking regulations in the country, but there is an oasis in the city where cigar lovers can relax and enjoy a fine smoke.

Here’s what the site for The Bazaar has to say: “Bar Centro Terrace sits just off the restaurant, allowing guests to take in the vibrant atmosphere. Amid the Mediterranean outdoor setting of the restaurant’s expansive terrace, guests can enjoy premium cigars, an array of spirits and liqueurs to pair along with some of the restaurant's most popular tapas, such as the croquetas and Japanese tacos.”

The Bazaar at SLS Hotel on La Cienega Blvd. houses four luxurious restaurants, including Bar Centro. The Bar Centro Terrace began offering cigars for sale in August, and has four choices, Davidoff cigarillos ($7), Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur ($10), Ashton VSG Illusion ($15) and Montecristo Churchill ($28).

General manager Christian Philippo hopes to expand that list in the near future. He explained, “We want to make the list a lot more comprehensive. We hope to recruit some of the best cigarmakers in the world to provide us with something special.”

For now, the Bar Centro Terrace is already a great place to enjoy a cigar with your tapas and drinks.
