RTShaker Posted April 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2022 If memory serves me correctly, the only place that cigars are allowed is on the port side aft next to the sunset bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is true, I have seen cigar smoking in the other smoking areas on board except the pool deck area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Solstice & Silhouette are the same class ship. Cigar smoking is port side aft by the Sunset Bar on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Smmessineo Posted December 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) As cigar smokers, we love the smoking area at the Sunset bar on all S Class ships. It always surprises me how many people just gravitate to the Mast bar smoking spot , which is always packed, with uncomfortable chairs and full exposure, while the beautiful spot at Sunset, with cushioned big chairs and an overhang and bar, is half empty. Maybe i shouldn't advertise it though.... Edited December 5, 2022 by Smmessineo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Currently on Solstice and smoking area is Port Side Sunset Bar, Starboard Side Forward near theater on 5, Mast Bar on Starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaleblanc Posted December 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2022 This thread sparked my interest! I like to have a cigar every now and than, but as someone who has to travel from Canada into the US for a cruise, I'm limited to what I can bring, and not upset the board guards. I'll be flying into Fort Lauderdale to start a 7 day Cruise in Feb '23 going Leaving from Florida going to the Bahamas, Jamacia, Grand Cayman, and finally Cozumel. We have an excursion planned in Cozumel for a Small Group Cuban Cigar making class, which sounds great. But where is a good place preboarding or within the first stop to get a/some cigars? When I was on the Apex in Feb '22 we found that the shop onboard had Cigars, but I only found it the last night of the cruise, so didn't get anything. Seems the group here has some experience and could offer some tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true concerning cigarettes, but the OP is inquiring about cigar smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted December 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Cigarette, pipe, cigar and vapors all should be allowed to use the same limited smoking area(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised as they have in the past. I was on Eclipse last May, and it was limited to Sunset Bar. Not all obey the rules as I've seen folks smoking cigars on the pool deck.

Elvis1209 Posted January 12 Author #15 Share Posted January 12 Just be advised, it's next to impossible to light your stogie on a moving ship in the Sunset Bar, unless you have a torch lighter, and they are supposedly not allowed on the ship. Lucky for me the bartender had one and would light my stick for me every night. Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I won't just saying in the past it hasn't happened lol. I also read that I'm not supposed to have my torch lighter in my checked/carry-on bags when flying..... I also had no idea and have been flying with it with no issue. Now, of course, because I've found out this information I'm going to be caught lol, that's my luck.

deliver42 Posted January 13 #18 Share Posted January 13 I smoke cigars and never had a problem in any smoking area on the Equinox or the Beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wineaux007 Posted January 13 #19 Share Posted January 13 The staff usually won't say anything to those ignoring the designated smoking areas for cigars. When we were on Solstice a couple of months ago, some folks were encroaching onto the bar area, and the head bartender back aft chased them back over to where they belonged, on the port side only.

We do not have much of a shipping/import for cigars in my part of the country. Thankfully I go on a cruise about once a year, and pick up a box or two and bring them home.

I was in Newfoundland last September and a few years ago. It's like you said, next to impossible to find cigars! Even in Quebec I couldn't find any! It must be could up there, eh? (Did you see how I snuck that "eh" in there? Do you think I'd make a good Canadian?) Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
