Rem's Cigar Snob X - Live May 14-16 Bally's

Went to the Bond Bar at Cosmo for some VP and cigars right after lunch. Now have been here for 5 hours because we're getting tremendous service here.

Bartender Mike is creating some drinks on the fly for us, and they are pretty much all great. The green one he called Liquid Marijuana and it's excellent.

 

That typo has been there for a while. About time they fixed it. ☺

 

Haha, that's funny.

I was so curious about it, my cousin didn't believe me it was called BurGR the last time there. I should have made a bet with him.

Found this article, saying they quietly changed the name for marketing reasons. I kinda liked the old name, the emphasis on Gordon Ramsey's initials. After all, the celebrity is the selling point of the place.

Oh nice i'm heading out next monday going to check the monte lounge and davidoff. I was able to snag a box of behike 52 before they became scarce december 12 is the box datw Now im seeing them for 800 a box.

 

Well timed buy on the BHK52 box purchase!

Hopefully the better tobacco crops Cuba is reporting in '16 and '17 will show up in a couple of years in more Cohiba production.

That said, the Siglo II I've had from 2016 are legendary quality. Grab a box or two of those now if you can.

 

Used the $75 off MyVegas coupon for the 36 oz tomahawk ribeye at Tender (Luxor). Splitting with my cousin.

Also tried the roasted bone marrow. Did not like it at all. But at least I've tried it and know it's not in my taste preferences.

 

Nice TR , i love how much i see the cigar come by , i dont smoke but i can imagine the feeling just playing some VP , nice cocktail , good cigar, life can be great

 

Yes indeed, one of life's small luxuries!

 

Now at the Skyfall Lounge out on the balcony. Heaters are out of propane and it's a bit chilly when the breeze kicks up.

Probably staying for just one drink.



From the elevator.

 

Wrapping up the last full night here in our traditional fashion...at the Vesper in Cosmo.

 

Thanks for the advice on the Siglo's Enjoy!!

 

Nice pics! Too bad you forgot to snap those ducks!

 

OP, I smoke the occasional cigar but am a real amateur. Do you have a top recommendation on the Strip to enjoy one?

The only cigar bar I have visited in Vegas was Rhumbar. Got great service. Ordered a cigar and when the waitress came by to check on me, I told her honestly that I had made a mistake and picked a cigar that I didn't care for. I didn't expect her to do anything about it, it was not her fault or the bar's. She immediately offered to bring something else, and provided a recommendation which I gladly accepted. It was much better than my own selection.
