“I’ve smoked for 21 years. Habanos Festival taught me cigars aren’t just sticks—they’re blood and fire. Thailand deserved that heat.” — Matthew Nekvapil
Matthew Nekvapil lit the match in 2018. A 21-year cigar vet, he’s not some poser with a cutter. Habanos Festival cred backs his chops. Cigar Emperor didn’t just land in Thailand—it torched the scene. Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya? Conquered. Scrollers, cynics, junkies: this is your haze.
Turf and Sticks
- Bangkok: Heart of the empire. Moat Cigar Club hums with smoke.
- Phuket: Beachside puffs for sun-chasers.
- Pattaya: Gritty nights, fat rolls.
Cohibas rule the Cuban roost. Brian Laudico, onboard since 2019, pumps New World heat—think Arturo Fuente, Nicaragua’s finest. Why? Matthew’s blunt: Cuban prices are insane, quality’s spotty. New World’s where value lives. Humidor game? Top-tier. Medical-grade humidity, American cedar, 24/7 temp control. Cigars age like kings.
The Den
Bangkok’s lounge hits hard. Leather grips your back, smoke curls thick. Barber chair in the corner—shave while you puff. VIP booths lock in the elite. No fake polish; it’s a pit for real smokers. Walk-in humidor’s a fortress—best in Thailand. Water’s filtered Swiss-style, pure as hell. Cigars don’t just sit; they thrive.
Proof in the Ash
“Khun Paranee’s Montecristo pick was a gut-shot. Knows her shit.” — Trustpilot, 4 stars
“VIP booth’s a haze dream. Worth every baht.” — X smoker, 4.5 vibe
Check Trustpilot. Four-star grit, real voices. Staff’s not guessing—they live cigars.
Join the Haze
New World’s calling. Cuba’s overrated. Pick your poison or choke on the sidelines. Cigar Emperor’s not waiting.
