Cigar Bar Opens in Walt Disney World
Posted: Friday, July 13, 2007
By David Savona
Cigar-smoking fathers dreading the family trip to
Orlando have reason to rejoice: Walt Disney World
now has its very own cigar bar.
Fuego by Sosa Cigars opened in June on Disney's
Pleasure Island, the adult-oriented area of the iconic
Florida theme park. Fuego sports a bar that looks like a
slab of melting ice, seating for around 30 people and a
complete selection of alcoholic beverages.
A smoky, boozy bar may seem like an odd fit for Disney,
best known for smiling children, charming music and an
image reminiscent of America in the 1950s. Smoking is
prohibited throughout much of Walt Disney World, and
since 2000 Disney has allowed smoking only in designated
smoking areas. In the Magic Kingdom, for example,
there are 14 designated smoking areas, including "the
alcove behind the clock tower" in Adventureland.
Sosa Cigars is part of the Arturo Fuente Cigar Family,
and the Sosas have run a cigar shop in Disney for the past
decade called Sosa Family Cigars, which stocks 80 cigar
brands, humidors and cigarettes. Sosa is the only spot in
Disney where one can buy tobacco products.
