So far, in our Where to Smoke series, where we explore the lounges, bars, and terraces, perfect for lighting a habano, we mostly focused on exploring London based establishments. However, the ritual of smoking Cuban Cigars outdoorsy is not chained exclusively to the British Capital or the UK. Amongst the most progressive and technologically advanced cities in the world, Hong Kong is not just a centre of contemporary and multicultural appeal but, also, is home to a number of cigar friendly establishments – ideal to enjoy a fine smoke. Having said that, in today’s article we take a look at the top three places to smoke in Hong Kong. Some of the most recent blog posts from the series include:

The overall environment is casual and relaxed while a musical trio performs every night, making the Chin Chin bar a must-visit Hong Kong establishment. In addition, the bar features a spacious terrace capable of hosting approximately 40 guests. Despite Chin Chin’s extensive list of wines and cocktails to choose from, the whiskey range is what truly stands out here. Over eighty single malts by the glass are available at the bar, comprising a quite impressive collection. Amongst the establishment’s wide Speyside collection, a ten-year-old Glenfarclas single malt and a Lagavulin 25 years old cask strength are the ones that truly stood out to us. Taking into consideration the bar’s gorgeous terrace alongside its great collection of whiskeys, Chin Chin Bar is amongst the best places in Hong Kong to light any of our Cuban Cigars Online. Very much sought by cigar aficionados for its deep and full flavoured aromas, the Ramon Allones Superiores Cigar would be the most suitable smoke for this occasion. Produced only for flagship La Casa del Habano stores, superiores is know for producing a set of flavours and aromas atypical of the brand, making this LCDH Editions Cigar a unique habano.
