Cigars and Tobacco

Thanks to its past (and present) as a bustling trade port, New Orleans has always offered wide varieties of tobacco. Cigar aficionados can sample for themselves at Havana Dream Cigars (1101 Decatur Street at Ursulines, 504.569.0630), which offers a wide variety of cigars and a comfortable lounge to enjoy them in. A little further into the French Quarter, Cigar Factory New Orleans (415 Decatur St., 504.568.1003) boasts a variety of cigars that are hand- rolled onsite by one of their eight in-house cigar masters.
