While in Nassau, I was approached by a local selling "Cuban" cigars. Since I know they're probably fake, I passed. Also of note, I was having a cigar in the casino and was informed by a crew member that I was not allowed to smoke a cigar in the casino. A lady sitting next to me mentioned that there was a Karen sitting behind us who complained about her smoking a cigarette....in the smoking area. I had no issues smoking a cigar on Deck 11, Port side.

I ended up bringing a selection from my own humidor and enjoyed one the other night on Deck 4, Portside. Thank goodness for travel humidors! Since we're currently at sea today, I'll probably do the same thing this evening. I noticed there were several cigar smokers on deck, which was great to see! For those wondering, yes we've had an amazing time aboard the Independence!

You are correct, there's still an embargo on Cuban-made cigars. My main question is whether there is a place onboard where I can enjoy a cigar.

Hi guys, I'll be taking my first cruise aboard Independence OTS on Dec 6. I was wondering if there are places onboard where I can sit and enjoy a quality cigar and a drink. I'll be bringing a few from my own humidor and was planning to visit a shop in Nassau.
