Cigar Smoking Etiquette at a Casino: A Guide

Cigar smoking has long been associated with luxury, sophistication, and leisure, making it a natural fit for the casino environment.

However, enjoying a fine cigar in a casino comes with its own set of unwritten rules. Understanding proper cigar etiquette ensures that you can savor your experience without disturbing others or running afoul of the establishment’s policies. Here’s a guide to navigating cigar smoking at a casino with class and consideration.

1. Know the Casino’s Smoking Policy

While cigar smoking is permitted at Caesar’s new casino in Danville, not every casino is as cigar friendly. Before lighting up, familiarize yourself with the casino’s smoking rules. While many casinos allow smoking in designated areas, not all spaces may be cigar-friendly. Some areas, like poker rooms or high-end lounges, may have specific restrictions. Always check for signage or consult a staff member to avoid an awkward situation.

Pro Tip:

Drop by Havana Phil’s before making the trek to Danville, Cherokee or Las Vegas— we carry premium smokes without the premium price you would pay at the casino.

WE’RE ALSO OPENING A NEW LOCATION IN DANVILLE SOON!

2. Choose Your Cigar Wisely

When smoking in a public space like a casino, opt for a cigar that suits the environment. Strong, overpowering cigars with thick smoke may not be the best choice in a crowded or mixed-use area. A medium-bodied cigar with a pleasant aroma is more likely to be appreciated by those around you.

Pro Tip:

Consider bringing a travel humidor with a selection of cigars, so you can choose the perfect one for the occasion.

3. Be Mindful of Others

Casinos attract people from all walks of life, many of whom may not share your appreciation for cigars. Be aware of your surroundings and try to position yourself in a way that minimizes smoke drifting toward others. If you notice someone visibly bothered, politely adjust your position if possible.

Pro Tip:

Avoid blowing smoke into the air aimlessly. Instead, direct it upward or toward ventilation areas.

4. Handle Ash and Debris with Care

Cigars can produce a lot of ash, so keeping your smoking area tidy is essential. Use ashtrays provided by the casino and tap off your ash frequently to prevent accidental messes. If an ashtray isn’t readily available, ask a staff member for assistance.

Pro Tip:

Carry a pocket-sized cigar cutter and lighter to handle your cigar cleanly and efficiently without relying on casino tools. Count on Havana Phil’s for your Cigar tool needs.

5. Don’t Rush the Experience

Cigar smoking is about relaxation and enjoyment. Casinos are high-energy environments, but that doesn’t mean you should rush your cigar. Take your time to savor it and allow it to enhance your gaming or socializing experience. If you’re playing a table game, make sure your cigar doesn’t slow the pace of play.

6. Respect the Staff and the Venue

The casino staff works hard to create an enjoyable experience for all patrons. If a staff member asks you to relocate or adjust your smoking behavior, comply graciously. Similarly, avoid leaving burnt-out cigars or ashes behind for others to clean up.

Pro Tip:

Thank staff members who assist you with smoking accommodations—it’s a small gesture that goes a long way.

7. Engage with Fellow Cigar Enthusiasts

Casinos often attract other cigar lovers, so don’t hesitate to strike up a conversation if you notice someone else enjoying a smoke. Sharing recommendations or stories can make your evening even more memorable. Just remember to respect their space and preferences.

8. Know When to Call It Quits

Finally, be mindful of how your cigar smoking fits into the broader casino atmosphere. If the crowd becomes too dense or your cigar is causing discomfort to others, it’s a good time to step away or move to a designated area.

Final Thoughts:

By following proper etiquette, you can elevate your experience while ensuring that others around you also enjoy theirs. Whether you’re at the roulette table or lounging in the cigar room, a little consideration and class go a long way in making your casino outing truly unforgettable. If you’re going to Danville’s new Caesar’s Casino, you will not be disappointed as a cigar smoker.

Knuckle Sandwich Packs a Punch + Special Raffle

Havana Phils is excited to introduce the new Knuckle Sandwich cigar line.

Renowned chef Guy Fieri is shaking up the premium cigar scene with Knuckle Sandwich cigars, and I can hardly contain my enthusiasm! As a longtime fan and having had the honor of smoking with Fieri at a show, I love how he channels his vibrant personality into these exceptional cigars. Handcrafted at the San Lotano factory and distributed by Espinosa Cigars, Knuckle Sandwich comes in two variants: a natural and a maduro. Both feature a blend of perfectly aged Nicaraguan long filler and binder tobaccos, wrapped in either an Ecuadorian Habano or an Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro.

The Habano-wrapped natural offers a delightful mix of white pepper, cedar, nuts, and sweet cream, while the Sumatra maduro reveals rich flavors of dark chocolate, spice, leather, and sweet dried fruit. With a medium-bodied profile for both blends, these cigars are ideal for both novice and seasoned aficionados. These cigars vary in flavor and strength, with the Chef’s Special arguably being the most strong cigar at our store, according to HUMIDOR ED.

Exquisite Summer Smoke: La Palina 1948

We tried out the La Palina 1948 Diadema and it’s one of our favorites for this summer.

The La Palina 1948 cigar honors Bill Paley, the chairman of La Palina and grandson of the original founder, marking his 75th birthday in March 2023. La Palina has a long-standing tradition of celebrating its founders and their significant milestones, a tradition that continues over 125 years since its inception.

To create this special cigar, La Palina partnered with the renowned Oliva family. The La Palina 1948, crafted in the Olivas' famous Nicaraguan factory, boasts a vintage aesthetic with depictions of Estelí and Manhattan as they were in 1948—the year Bill Paley was born. It features a two-year-aged sun-grown Sumatra wrapper from Ecuador and Nicaraguan binder and filler from the Oliva farms.

The cigar offers a medium strength and delivers flavors of toasted cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and hints of ginger snap cookie through the finish.

Smoking the La Palina 1948 is a true delight. From the moment you light it, the cigar showcases impeccable construction, ensuring an even burn and a smooth draw. The flavors are rich and nuanced, with each puff revealing layers of complexity. The toasted cedar provides a warm, woody base, while the nutmeg and cinnamon add a spicy sweetness that is both inviting and intriguing. The subtle touches of ginger snap cookie on the finish offer a delightful surprise, rounding out the flavor profile beautifully.

Enjoying the La Palina 1948 Diadema while relaxing on the sunny Montecristo patio at Havana Phil’s in Greensboro made the experience even more exceptional. The ambiance of the patio complemented the cigar's rich flavors perfectly, creating a memorable smoking experience. Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or a casual smoker, the La Palina 1948 delivers an extraordinary experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

How to Refill Your Butane Cigar Lighter: A Guide

For cigar enthusiasts, a reliable butane lighter is an essential tool for igniting the perfect smoke. But as any aficionado knows, keeping your lighter properly fueled is key to enjoying a consistent and satisfying burn. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to refill your butane cigar lighter, ensuring that you're always ready to indulge in your favorite cigars.

1. Choose the Right Butane: Not all butane is created equal. Look for high-quality, filtered butane specifically designed for refilling lighters. This will help prevent clogs and ensure a clean burn.

2. Prepare Your Lighter: Before refilling, it's essential to purge any remaining fuel and air from your lighter. To do this, use a small screwdriver or a dedicated purge tool to press the fuel release valve and bleed out the remaining butane.

3. Refill the Lighter: Hold the lighter upside down and insert the nozzle of the butane canister into the filling valve on the bottom of the lighter. Press down firmly for about 5-10 seconds, allowing the butane to flow into the lighter. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause leaks or malfunctions.

4. Wait and Adjust: After refilling, wait a few minutes to allow the butane to reach room temperature. This will ensure a more consistent flame when you ignite your lighter. If necessary, adjust the flame height using the flame adjustment wheel or screw on the lighter.

5. Test the Lighter: Once your lighter is refilled and adjusted, test it to ensure it's working correctly. Depress the ignition button to ignite the flame and check for a steady, even burn. If the flame is weak or flickering, you may need to bleed the lighter again and refill with fresh butane.

6. Maintain Your Lighter: Regular maintenance is key to keeping your butane lighter in optimal condition. Clean the burner and ignition mechanism periodically to remove any debris or buildup that could affect performance.

For those in need of butane refills or lighter servicing, visit Havana Phil’s in Greensboro. Our expert staff can assist you with all your cigar-related needs, and we carry major brands such as Colibri and Dupont. Ensure that your cigar-smoking experience is always top-notch with a properly fueled lighter from Havana Phil’s.

A Perfect Match: Pairing Cigars and Steak for Ultimate Enjoyment

There's something undeniably luxurious and indulgent about the combination of a perfectly cooked steak and a fine cigar. Both offer a sensory experience that can be enhanced when enjoyed together, creating a symphony of flavors and aromas that tantalize the palate. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just beginning to explore the world of cigars and steak pairings, this guide will help you elevate your dining experience to new heights.

1. Consider the Cut and Flavor Profile of the Steak: Just as different wines complement specific dishes, different cigars complement specific cuts of steak. For example, a robust, full-bodied cigar pairs well with a rich, marbled ribeye, while a milder cigar may be better suited to a leaner cut like filet mignon. Consider the flavor profile of the steak—whether it's smoky, peppery, or buttery—and choose a cigar that will either complement or contrast those flavors.

2. Match Intensity: It's essential to match the intensity of the cigar with the intensity of the steak. A bold, spicy cigar may overpower a delicate cut of steak, while a mild cigar might get lost when paired with a heavily seasoned or charred steak. Aim for balance, ensuring that neither the cigar nor the steak overwhelms the palate.

3. Consider the Wrapper: The wrapper of a cigar plays a significant role in its flavor profile. Maduro wrappers, known for their rich, earthy flavors, pair well with hearty steaks like porterhouse or T-bone, while Connecticut wrappers, with their milder flavor profile, complement lighter cuts such as flank or sirloin.

4. Contrast or Complement: Decide whether you want the flavors of the cigar to contrast with or complement those of the steak. For example, a spicy cigar can provide a pleasant contrast to a sweet and savory steak, while a cigar with notes of coffee or cocoa can enhance the richness of a well-marbled steak.

5. Experiment: The beauty of pairing cigars and steak lies in the endless possibilities for experimentation. Don't be afraid to try different combinations to discover what works best for your palate. Keep notes on what you enjoy to refine your pairings over time.

Now that you're armed with the knowledge of how to pair cigars and steak, it's time to elevate your dining experience to the next level. And for those seeking guidance or looking to expand their cigar collection, look no further than Havana Phil’s. Our knowledgeable staff will help curate the perfect selection of cigars to complement your steak, ensuring a truly unforgettable dining experience. Visit us today and embark on a journey of flavor and indulgence.
