I want to go a little in-depth here, but for starters, here is my list of cigar-friendly places in NYC..... but oh man do I miss those awesome years of pre-2003 (prior to the smoking ban), where you could exercise your right to smoke (with good taste of course) in bars across this fine city.
For Starters:
Club Macanudo: Great cigar bar, an established institution in midtown. Great for a group outing. The club is also a store front for the General Cigar Company (who own the cuban-originated labels of Cohiba and Romeo y Julieta). They have an awesome selection of cigars. It was here that I tried my first Partagas Black Label (the maduro line of non-cuban Partagas). Great construction, heavy body that went well with a dark red cabernet sauvignon or a nice tawny port. The place itself was good overall, but also kinda creepy since it was filled with 50 year old cougars trying to snare 20 somethings. (and this was PRE-sex in the city folks).
