The Habana Cabana is Oahu's newest cigar club located in downtown Honolulu behind the Hawaii Theater. It's an elegant cigar club with all of the features you'd expect of a private, high end club.

Overall, a very warm and elegant setting with a true aloha atmosphere for all cigar lovers. Open to the public w/no membership or entrance fees. Principal is Brian Uy.

One of Honolulu's best seafood restaurants! Beautiful oceanfront location with spectacular views of Kewalo Basin and Waikiki. Excellent food and service. Their Sunday brunch is also a real winner. Definitely one of my all time favorite restaurants! Cigar smoking is allowed in the lounge and is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to smoke!

Other Cigar Friendly/Tolerant Places
Another great, informal place to smoke is at Side Street Inn. Real local place w/beer & pupus! They also have cigars for sale and smoking is definitely allowed! Also heard that Sam Choy's has a new cigar smoking room w/lockers! And herfing also seems to be allowed at Ryans at Ward Warehouse, and Pacific Cafe at Ward Centre. And the list grows with Anyplace Lounge on King Street, and Dixie Grill on Ward Avenue. Leland Chong reports that their Gumbo served with rice is ono! And Kincaids' at Ward Warehouse is also rumored to allow cigar smoking in the lounge. Hard to believe!

Misc. Oahu Stuff

Spanish Cedar: The only place I know of locally which carries Spanish Cedar is:

Sanders Trading Company (near Ala Moana Shopping Center)
1211 Kona Street (nearest cross street is Pensacola)
(808) 596-2303

I got my spanish cedar from Sanders for about $12/board foot. Minimum order is two feet. Selection is minimal. They had two beams the time I was there. One was about 6X8 and the other was about 6X16. Be warned that it's an unfinished block/chunk of wood. You'll still need to machine/plane it down to size. I'm not sure if Sanders will do this for you and for how much. I would call first to check availability and prices.

Hawaii ascers Jon Fia and Monte Monte also report that Spanish Cedar is available from Martin and McArthurs already finished and ready to go! Thanks for the tip guys! Sounds like a good deal!

Propylene Glycol:
You can probably get this from any of the local pharmacies here, but don't expect to see it on the shelves. It's a good idea to call first and speak to the pharmacist because the clerks won't know what you're talking about and will just tell you that they don't have it. Tell him/her what you'll be using the PG for...BTW, I noticed that they don't think it's funny if you mention a b*mb! Jim Mulligan (1996 ASC/ICG Honolulu Post Xmas Cigar Crawl Alumni) found his at Longs Drugs Ala Moana Center for about $7.09/pint.

Thank You for Visiting!
Any additions, corrections, comments, and/or feedback is always welcome and appreciated! Mahalo!
