|
| THE PRIVATE SMOKE |
| The Havana Club at the Miami City Club |
| |
Setting: The sweet smell
of tobacco permeates this exclusive social club. You either have to be a member or the guest of one to gain
entrance. But that's never been a problem for you.

for members and a private cigar line, Graycliff.

| THE RETAIL SMOKE |
| Merchants New York Cigar Bar |
| |
Setting: Ignore the fact
that you're technically in the Dolphin Mall and focus on the fine cigars, ports, wines and beers. When you
start feeling like you could maybe go for an ear piercing, it's time to leave.
Smokes: A solid and
reliable variety of Dominican and Honduran stogies.

| THE BYO SMOKE |
| La Marea at the Tides South Beach |
| |
Setting: As you know,
there's nothing classier than smoking on a terrace, and La Marea's elevated Ocean Drive spot is nicely
removed from the fray. If you bring your own post-dinner smoke, the restaurant treats you to a complimentary
glass of rum.
Smokes: You have to bring
your own—but who has better taste than you?
