It’s the Asian epicentre for cigars, especially Cuban cigars. Here are a few more lounges to visit, after you visited the lounges from our previous Hong Kong article.

Min Ron Nee, a well-known Cuban cigar collector and writer of ‘An illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post Revolution Cigars’ resides in Hong Kong. This book is the bible for hardcore fans of Cuban cigars.
He’s not the only collector with a huge collection in the city, and many of these wealthy cigar collectors have personal lounges that can rival, and even top , the best cigar bars in the world.

Cohiba Cigar Divan
The inception of the Cohiba Cigar Divan dates back to 1992, under the ownership and management of the Pacific Cigar Company.
Situated on the first floor of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, the initial HK Cigar Divan may be modest in size, boasting only 30 exclusive private lockers for dedicated patrons looking to mature their cigar collection. Nevertheless, it has consistently retained its status as the ultimate haven for genuine cigar connoisseurs since its establishment. The ambiance is reminiscent of Havana, complemented by the authentic mojitos they expertly serve.
