Cigar aficionados, get ready to smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. Caesars Palace confirms Eater Vegas’ reveal that Montecristo Cigar Bar takes over the former Hyakumi Japanese restaurant and sushi bar, with an opening later this month.

Rockwell Group designs the 4,000-square-foot space with a cigar retail area and humidor stocked with Montecristo, Romeo Y Julieta, H. Upmann, Padron, La Flor Dominicana, Arturo Fuente, Ashton, San Cristobal, La Aroma de Cuba, Mi Amor, Las Antilles, My Father and more.
