Or set up a burnished cigar bar with serve-yourself premium cigars, vintage props and cigar accessories, along with comfortable seating and elegant ashtrays within easy reach. We especially love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/royal-oaks-cigars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">River Oaks Royal Cigars&#8217;<\/a> handmade cigars from the Dominican Republic, where their finest blends are a step above the common cigar. Your guests are sure to fall in love with the vivid flavor and rich aroma that accentuates the exquisite taste of royalty. Either way, a cigar bar is a swank and sexy feature for your late-night wind-down. Just locate your cigar bar in a well-ventilated area, away from guests who may not appreciate the scent of a luxurious Maduro, Habano or Demi Corona, quite as much as you do.<\/p>\n<h6>2.
