Hi Eva
I still love going to Bogart’s even if it’s just for a chat to Norman. What he can’t tell you (but I will!) is that the plain packaging in the Cuban cigar bands comes off to reveal their original bands! I was so excited the day I discovered that. I’m thinking of popping a quick post up about it.
As for cigar lounges, I go to Cohibar in Darling Harbour, or there’s a good Cuban bar behind the QVB on York Street that’s cigar friendly. Called Bodeguita Del Medio. Otherwise it’s the Hilton or Ivy I’m afraid.
Good luck and please let me know where you go for a smoke. Always looking for new places to try!

One of the things I love about Cohiba Siglio cigars (which I bought for Hub’s birthday a week ago) is that they have yet to change their packaging – they still come in a bright yellow box, or for the bigger ones, a bright yellow cylinder…
I am holding onto the pretty packaging for as long as I can, as I know that soon enough, it will change into an ammunition-style offensive.

No fun.

On the flip side, if you know of a good cigar lounge in Sydney, please share the news 🙂
