The Best Cigar Lounge in San Juan

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 10, 2016

Dark lighting. High-backed leather chairs. A top-shelf spirits selection. A breadth of cigars.

There’s even a library.

These are the ingredients to a great cigar lounge, and the Avo Lounge at San Juan’s Condado Vanderbilt hotel.

This is the classic cigar lounge, a place that makes you feel like you’re a member of a private club (and there are, naturally, private cigar lockers).

What really puts this lounge over the top is the spirits list, which comes from the hotel’s lobby bar and happens to include a wonderful selection of rums from Puerto Rico to Martinique.

This is a must-visit place in San Juan.
