Always love a bit of cigar shopping, looks very interesting, must go back to NYC...

Now under sail, I've checked out the cigar lounge which looks nice, photos tomorrow when I test it out.

Nice one PJ, tell me you didn't choose the boat due to it having a cigar lounge

Internet here is very patchy and expensive so I'll load a few pics when I get back.

Actually no, my friends booked the boat and then I found out that you can only smoke cigars in the lounge or the casino. Here's a shot of the lounge which had waitress service

and one of their little ashtrays

For reference thats a Mananitas perched on the edge

There was a small cabinet humidor in the corner of the lounge and a cigar menu on the tables. Prices were good but they didn't have the only thing on their that I would have smoked.
They also sold cigars in the on board shop where I found Diamond Crown robustos.

Even if you don't smoke NCs this is a must see for visiting New York. The front of store is about as big as JJs including their humidor. Nat's then has a walk in humidor the same size again behind that. Attached to that is another smaller walk in containing some rarer items like Serhiy's box. The smoking area is a table and four armchairs at the front of the box. There is also a second floor for member's only that runs round the shop as a gallery. When you go in an assistant will accompany you to the humidor with a tray into which you put your purchases.

And a Diamond Crown Robusto No 4 I discovered in the onboard shop

No 4

I enjoyed the Diamond Crown so much that I bought the rest of the box!

Nice shot here of the waterfront shops in Hamilton which is the capitol.

On this street is Chatham House cigars who have a nice selection of Cubans at decent prices but nothing I wanted. I was heading for Cigarbox in Church Street who had boxes of Bolivar Gold Medals. I had asked them about opening times and got a prompt response then arrived to find them closed for two days.
A lot of other shops also sold small amounts of Cubans.
The Royal Dock where we were moored also had a few shops selling small amounts of cigars. A guy also set up on the dock every day with a small selection but he also sold Bermudan cigars. They weren't cheap at $20 each so I bought one to try but when I got the cello off it still smelt of ammonia so I guess its still too young.

Finally a view personal observations of all the great Americans I met in the cigar lounge on board. They are much more casual about cigar smoking than we are. One old boy even smoked an inch of his cigar, clipped the lit end and put the cigar back in his pocket for later. They found it quite amusing when I removed my band and put it in my pocket.
All but one took the band off before smoking and nearly all of them used soft flame lighters.
None of them showed any interest in Cuban cigars at all.
They all wanted Donald Trump for president because they think he will run the country like a business but they also all thought he'd be assassinated before he's elected or soon after!
