You'll need proper attire at this East Side cigar joint from the well-known upscale Merchants hospitality group, with its English decor and plush carpeting and furniture. It's an elegant space, to be sure, with a fine selection of wines by the glass, as well as the requisite single malt scotches, bourbons, cognacs, and so on, available at the marble-top bar from some of the city's most well-trained bartenders. A likewise delightful selection of cigars are on offer, with the somewhat unnerving and brash announcement—not only in the bar itself, but online—of the availability of Padrons, Cohibas, Monte Cristos, and the like, such an unlikely flaunting of international trade embargos against Cuba that one has to assume these are the lesser varieties of those brands that hail from Ecuador or the Dominican Republic or similar locales rather than from Cuba itself.
