Drafi Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 When looking from the Skytrain down towards sukhumvit soi 7/1 there is a sign at the top of the Star Inn reading "Havana Club Fidel". Does anyone know why this sign is there? Looks rather strange in this part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 No idea, but I know the sign you mean. Maybe it's a smoking joint, would be in the right location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've always wondered about this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm2002 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 In the lobby of the Star Hotel is a small cigar bar. Actually nice selection of Cuban cigars. Not sure how the recent smoking ban has affected them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebuzzard Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 They do have a nice selection of cigars. I was out late a few weeks back and in the mood for a cigar or two to take home and remembered they had some Cubans, so I dropped in. They had a buy 3 get 1 free deal going on. Trouble is, their nice-sized Bolivars and Cohibas were a bit moldy from being over humidified, and a bit too pricey. They had some smaller Punch and Romeo Julietas that were okay though. And, no, you can't buy three of the cheaper ones and then get a free Cohiba. Not unless you are ready to grapple with the large ladyboy bartender-hostess. For smoking your cigar, there's an outdoor area, but because the smoking ban only seems to be spottily observed and enforced, you could probably light up inside if you want.

chivo Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 For a moment I thought it was a news headline announcing Fidel had been clubbed by the population of Havana... yikes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
