BittersweetFarang Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I enjoy an occasional but regular fine cigar. For lack of better options, I would get a Romeo & Julietta or an H. Upmanns at Foodland for 300 baht on occasion. Then I discovered some higher end cigar lounges including the following: Aqua at The Four Seasons Bangkok 155 Rajadamri Road, Bangkok 10330 Divan@494 / Whisky Priest@494 Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel Lower lobby at Grand Hyatt Erawan. Spasso Lower lobby at Grand Hyatt Erawan. Bed Supper Club 26 Soi Sukhumvit 11, Bangkok - Not sure if they still offer cigars, but they did at one point. Havana Express JW Marriott Hotel 1/F 4 Sukhumvit Road, Soi 2 Klongtoey, Bangkok 10110 Divan @ Siam Paragon Siam Paragon Ground floor(Gourmet market) 991/1 Rama I, Patumwan, Bangkok 10330 Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hustlehouse Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Don't forget the Perdomo Lounge in Sukhumvit 28. The best place I've been so far. Need more details PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've visited most of the lounges listed, and I agree with you that the Perdomo Club in Soi 28 is the best...particularly in terms of spaciousness, opulence, and attentive service. It's also the closest to my home and is a fairly easy walk from Phrompong BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabi Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Not quite a Cigar lounge but Bourbon Street in Washington Sq sells Cuban cigars and a few others. Sitting out front and puffing on one can make for an enjoyable afternoon. Edited January 4, 2010 by wasabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people really paying up to US $50,000 to join this club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people really paying up to US $50,000 to join this club? Yes, it's a private members club. There are various levels of membership. The highest level being $50,000, however, this is lifetime but with an investment payback after a certain time period. I have some friends who took this membership, however, I believe the majority of existing members probably paid for one of the lower levels of membership. Quite frankly, I think that the cigar divan next to the 494 Bar in Grand Hyatt Erawan is also very good, particularly since you can take advantage of the 494 Bar's excellent happy hour which lasts 'til 10pm , plus their 100 baht tapas buffet.

mark5335 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 They still have jazz in the Bamboo Bar which is connected to the Le Casa Del Habano at Oriental Hotel. As far as I'm aware smoking cigars is still possible in the Bamboo Bar. I"ll visit again later this month and check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunerboi Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Trend Hotel, Sukhumvit 22 is a hideaway... I wanted to get a glass of wine and smoke at the bar so they offered me the Cigar room... You get a whole room (aircon + ventilation) to yourself... sits about 6 comfortably with couches, lounges and a lazy boy, and also a flat screen TV (42 I think) with cable channels. They sell cigars too... saw RyJ, Cohibas and others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyhat Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Since this thread has been necro'd I'll add I went to one in the basement floor of the Westin Sukhumvit. (Pretty sure it was the Westin I'd had a few by this point) and it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moontang Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Here is a mail order option from Phil's... www.tabaqueria.com I was 7 out of 9, no customs... and one time they sent me the cigar box instead of the packs.. slim panatella... decent.. they sell them at Siam Paragon in that same shop adjacent to the grocer.. I bring back 2, bricks of 5 packs with 6 each.. Monte Cristo or Hupman.. Dominican and Nicaraguan.. I am ready to claim they are 4 grams each if they make an issue, which would be under 250 grams.. but I think a box of large would be more, but I think a single box would be OK.. their eyes are peeled for the Hong Kong packages, that is for sure.

Popular Post Andy3232 Posted August 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2019 And a bump for refreshing it does need! Now let's make this list a bit more definitive too lol Before diving in, there are a great many places where you are free to smoke (a good 50% of all venues outdoors or on rooftop) but the below are a list of places that either sell cigars to smoke on-premise or to-go (the latter marked as "SHOP ONLY") Aqua at The Four Seasons Bangkok : CLOSED (though see "Character Bar" below) P&L Club @ Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel Bed Supper Club : CLOSED Havana Express @ JW Marriott Hotel : SHOP ONLY Havana Express @ Siam Paragon, Gourmet Market Mezz. : SHOP ONLY P & L Club @ Conrad Hotel Lobby : CLOSED LCDH/ La Casa Del Habano in the Bamboo Bar @ Mandarin Oriental Hotel :: Top 3 (No smoking in the proper bar but the lounge for smoking is just adjacent through glass windows and next to the band. Full bar service available from your seat in the LCDH lounge. Black Amber in Thong Lo : Excellent period style cocktail bar with live music, food and good priced quality cigars. Red Sky Bar @ Centara Grand Hotel rooftop CigarOne (Near Conrad Hotel) : Modern space run by mixologist with concise, curated cigar selection Cohiba Atmosphere (Also near Conrad Hotel) : Top 3 Perhaps the best selection in the city. Duke @ Gaysorn : Top 3, quietest of the top 3, also offers some non-cubans and you can smoke your own if you bring the receipt from the Davidoff shop below Davidoff @ Gaysorn : SHOP ONLY, good NC selection as well as Cuban El Guacho @ Asok, near T21 : Smoker friendly restaurant/ lounge with limited but good cigars Flamenco @ EmQuartier : Outdoor venue with limited cigar selection GodFather @Central Embassy : Indigo @ Silom/ Sala Daeng : Fine dining restaurant with smoking parlour on 2nd floor. Character Bar @ Anantara (essentially replacing Aqua) : Great atmosphere with great selection of cuban and NC Character Bar @ Compass Hotel : Newcomer that is amazingly stocked and classy, on a high flor near the roof bar/ club. Lobby Lounge @ Intercontinental Hotel Hanuman Bar @ Siam Kempenski Hotel Pacific Cigar Divan @ Crowne Plaza Hotel ThreeSixty @ Millenium Hilton : Outdoor bar with cigars on the menu. EXCELLENT VIEW. Whisgars @ Multiple Locations : Limited, non-cuban selection only. I can't say I really like these places. The cigars are ones you'd often not even smoke in America but at 3 x the price. The service is often uninformed too. But I can say that the environment is the most casual and even Hard Rock fun-campy. Reminiscent more of an American blue collar man cave than a stuffy room of people wearing tweed in the tropics. Music is often lively and the drink selection is generally good. It's for casual smokers but/ and it's enjoyable. **All of this said, I'm sure I'm forgetting or missing a few places. Please fill in as info becomes available, PARTICULARLY OF CLOSURES. Whether we're hard working expats, lazy retirees or time-pressed tourists reading this, all of our time is valuable, so let's look out for each other. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place has lost of lot of its retro character, however with the renovations, and music changes over the years even though it still feels like something out of the 1920s. 2 hours ago, Andy3232 said: Whisgars @ Multiple Locations : Limited, non-cuban selection only.

I sometimes end up at the one at Asoke with friends from out of town, as I work near there and just because the outside patio is so casual and enjoyable and has craft beer and all sorts of eats in the plaza there. Cigars are exactly as you describe. 2 hours ago, Andy3232 said: P&L Club @ Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel This is another easy go-to at Asoke and has good single malts. Amazing bump and update on an original 9 year old thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy3232 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hi all, Have a few more to add. Some really great new comers on the scene. Unfortunately, as of yesterday, SARS-CoV-2 "Covid" is the reason they are once again closed and/ or the reason why more people in the anglophone world aren't able to go there.. but an update is needed none-the-less. ALEX Whiskey & Cigar Bar - in the Eight Thong Lo complex. Refined, "boys club" atmosphere with a good selection of Cuban cigars and great drinks. Privately owned and very cool; push-pin seating, dark woods, bar bruin lighting. Says they open at 11 but they're usually afternoon opening. LCDH Kempinski Sindhorn - Beautiful lounge, in the same styling as the Bamboo Bar. Replete with live music and a remarkable cocktails selection. Cigars are what you'd expect from an LCDH; top quality and selection. Wonderful new place. They open at 5pm. BKK Social Club @ The Four Seasons Chao Phraya - Another brand new addition with at 1930s theme. Excellent selection and wonderful atmosphere. Really special place especially as this address is still rather exclusive and off the beaten path luxury. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
