In a time where it seems like anyone and everyone is banning smoking of any sort, who would thought you could find a cigar and a place to smoke at Disney?

Awesome!

15 June 2007: Fuego by Sosa Cigars Opens at Downtown Disney Pleasure Island

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The rich enticing aroma of premium tobacco welcomes cigar aficionados to Fuego by Sosa Cigars, an upscale cigar bar now open at Downtown Disney Pleasure Island at Walt Disney World Resort.

Cigar connoisseurs can savor a smoke and enjoy other tobacco products in an intimate lounge setting where premium wine, beer, spirits, plus specialty coffees and other non-alcoholic beverages are served daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

The new lounge is a tribute to four generations of the Sosa family with pictures of family members decorating the walls. The gathering place blends contemporary furnishings and high tech with old-world charm. Pendant-style light fixtures adorn the room while a hand-crafted glass bar top resembles a floating block of ice. The back bar is illuminated with silhouettes of tobacco leaves and back-lit with images of fire. Custom-designed, hand-crafted wooden humidors hold more than 100 facings of hand-rolled premium cigars -- from the legendary Fuente Fuente Opus X to the highly rated house-branded Sosa cigars. An expanded terrace offers guests outdoor seating as well.

"The Sosa family is honored to open a second location at Downtown Disney, which will allow guests to indulge in life's simple pleasures," said Alex Sosa, director of operations.

Sosa Family Cigars and Walt Disney World Resort have enjoyed a long-standing relationship over the past ten years. Downtown Disney West Side is also home to Sosa Family Cigars, a premium cigar store showcasing a large walk-in humidor and the art of hand-rolling cigars.

I was thinking the same thing when I was at Disneyland last summer. It was not in the park itself but in the Downtown Disney area where all the shops are. There was small kiosk that was selling stogies. I was sure that they were all way overpriced so I did not even look that closely.
 
It's been a few years since I have been to Downtown Disney. They used to have a cigar store there. I don't remember the name but, they did not serve alcohol. It was definitely a shop and not a kiosk. The old place must have gone out of buisness.

It is nice to hear that they support this kind of buisness. :thumbs:

I was there a few years ago. And I think it was at DownTown Disney where Sosa had a shop, already.

It was defintely a Sosa shop, and it was defintely a night-time geared type of area, but doesn't Universal have a similar area?

They have two airconditioned cigar shops now and at night they have a kiosk open. Yes they are overpriced but isnt everything at disney. I really enjoy visiting the shops there they sometimes have some really good sticks.
 
About a year and a half ago, I was down there and visited the Sosa store at Downtown Disney West Side, where indeed they were well overpriced. We were doing most of our family fun at Universal Studios on that visit, and I found that Cigarz, the cigar bar at Universal's CityWalk was moderately priced, considering the area.
 
Sosa's in Downtown Disney is where I first got interested in smoking cigars a few years back. I knew absolutely nothing and I found them to be rather helpful without really trying to oversell me.

Little did I know back then that a casual enchantment would turn into a full blown infatuation over the course of the next year or so.

Overpriced or not, thank God for Sosa's. :)

Cigars are still cheaper than a therapist!!

:D
