Buena Vista Cigar Club
In a mysteriously dark storefront, cigar czar Rigo Hernandez offers a smoking sanctuary for aficionados and in-the-know locals. The space resembles a formal drawing room, complete with comfortable club chairs, flat-screen TVs and thief-worthy ashtrays collected by the owner himself. The lounge boasts a self-standing cigar shop with a variety of tobacco products and collectibles favored by moneyed actor types. Evenings offer a livelier bar atmosphere of Cuban music and socializing around the day’s hottest sporting event.
