If you wish you to smoke some of the finest cigars in the world you can do that now for free with Etihad Airways in their brand new cigar lounge, though there is a slight catch: it’s only available to people who travel first class with the Abu Dhabi airline.
Those who splash the cash on first class tickets know the unrivalled luxury that comes with that extra money. You enjoy the hospitality of the first class lounge before the flight, board the flight before the rest of the passengers, relax in your fully reclining bed whilst on board, you are fed delicious food and plenty of champagne as well as being handed cashmere sleepwear and luxury toiletries for pampering yourself whilst on board, and now you can smoke the finest cigars in the world whilst flying into Abu Dhabi airport. The airline has opened a new cigar lounge within their new Etihad Airways First Class lounge which also includes an à la carte restaurant, showcase bar, fitness room, spa, barber, nail salon, television room, relaxation room, showers and much more.
The stylish new lounge features super comfy wide bottom chairs offering unrivalled luxury for when you light up your cigar with the menu nearly consisting of just Cuban cigars with some fantastic drinks also available for some fantastic pairings.
There are three Cohibas available, Panetela, Siglo II and Siglo IV. There are two Montecristos, a diminutive No. 4 as well as a Double Edmundo, a Romeo y Julieta Petit Churchill, a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial, and an Arturo Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8 from the Dominican Republic. There’s also no surprise that they have included the Bolivar Emiratos, the Regional Edition Cuban cigar that was made specifically for the United Arab Emirates which launched back in 2010.
Aside from flying first class with Etihad Airways you can also pick up fantastic and luxurious cigars at Havana House cigar shop, online or instore.
