El Presidente Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Time for Signage on the nw premises. I can't name it Friends of Habanos as given I and the Govt are not seeing eye to eye....I want to keep FOH separate. The easy part was signage for the other businesses : ORIS, ShooAway, Spitbucket. But what about the biggest ,,,and most part of the location...the cigar club! Cigar Czars........yet again...better to keep that separate given some of the likely Govt battles to come. Its a Club. No Tossers no Wankers. Friendship, Fraternity, Laughter Loyalty. Referral membership only. "Mostly Legal". Full of reprobates. I'ts a special place for Lovers of the leaf, a pirates cove where stories are made and secrets are kept (mostly ) Casa Habano? Surely we can do better. If someone picks a name I like between now and Monday my time.....I will pick a sampler selection for them
TankerT Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 "No Cigars Here. Try down the street." or "Cigars? What Cigars?" I'm sure either sign would fool inspectors from your current government administration..."
riazp Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 i'm thinking Habanos & Company (seeing how you also deal with wine, watches and fly producs) OR Habanos & Friends (once again friends represens the other products and represents us, sounts like friends of habanos but no real link...those government people are surly not THAT smart to link the two together!!) Good luck with the new place Rob -Riaz
TankerT Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 You could go with something simple, that makes sense to cigar fans... but not to others... Something like: "Herf" or "The Herf Deck" or whatnot... I thought of "The Herf Lounge" or "The Stogie Lounge" would make people think of a bar or tavern. (At least us American tourists would think that...) Other random thoughts: "Casa Puros" "The Safe House" (Referring to houses where spies on the run go to hide... or... in this case... where cigar smokers go to avoid attention?) "Vice" Or simply: "The Deck"
Fuzz Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Refugio de los Reprobos - Well, it is a refuge of sorts... Lisa's Cuban Daycare Centre - With you, Smithy and Ken et al running around, it is like a daycare centre. House of Ayala - If Fraser can make a success of it floggin' their cheap jewelry, I can't see why you can't either. The Gateway to Cuban Delights - Hmm, people may think you're a restaurant... or a bordello! Lover's of the Leaf - you may get unwanted attention from the drug squad looking for Mary Jane.
Warren Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I tend to favor a snappy name. How about. Sclerosis on Gabba.

Almost spread coffee on the keyboard + 1 with Habanos Social Club
DougB Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 This one was easy for me..... The Palace Oh yeah...
CBL Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 - Puro Particulares The deck is a private club for Cuban Cigar smokers and their close friends. - The Shaggy Foot A more salt of the earth name that's still steeped in Cuban "slang" - Refugio Seguro Safe Haven in Spanish - Casa Tarde Spanish for: home late
CigarAsh Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Always loved the term "BrisVegas" that Lisa and Smitty throw around. So how about "BrisVegas Social Club"? Sure to draw attention and questions with BrisVegas in the name. Other possibilities: La Hoja Cubana (the Cuban Leaf) El Club Cubano La Casa Cubana Just my 2 cents!
ColKurtz Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Let's see, probably best to stay away from explicitly mentioning cigars.... Perhaps a pirate theme? The Aging Room Jolly Rogers Gentleman's Day Care Adult Day Care He's not here Almost Home Vegas Ayala Bit of Havana Havana Dreaming Sublimes - Club Sublime Blackbeard's Retreat The poop deck (no wait, I'm confusing that with what happened @ Ken's) Utopia A Taste of Cuba
