Stogie News: Waiting for the Bus

I usually don’t get this excited about public transportation, but I just can’t wait for the Macanudo Bus to pull into Washington on its American Passion Tour.

A so-called “cigar lovers’ paradise on wheels”, the traveling cigar lounge allows lucky patrons to partake in premium smokes while relaxing in the luxurious bus, or outside on it’s “green carpet” decked out with high-end patio furniture.

Most recently, the bus – a mobile replica of Club Macanudo in Chicago – pulled into the PGA Tour’s Western Open in Lemont, Illinois. These fortunate golf fans (including my folks) had the opportunity to unwind in Macanudo lavishness, including a big screen television, a putting green, and a blackjack table with a dealer. Complimentary cigars abound, of course.

While it doesn’t appear as though the American Passion Tour will be rolling into the nation’s capital anytime soon, a quick glance at Macanudo’s events webpage reveals the magical mystery tour may be coming to your neck of the woods sometime in the near future (especially if you live in Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, or Louisiana).

If you’re lucky enough to catch the bus, take some pictures and send them along with a short description of your experience. We’ll share your photos and anecdotes with Stogie Guys the world over.

One final note: How sweet would it be to earn a living driving a huge cigar bus – smoking, relaxing, and sharing stories with fine stogie enthusiasts across America? What a long, strange trip that would be…
