Havana Room - YCPRW

This is where I smoke every day. I’ve posted this shameless brag before, so I feel a little guilty doing it again. Not really.
 

Turn the lights down low, and settle in to my chair with my favorite Cuban cigar, which is ANY Cuban cigar, and my favorite cocktail, a Cuba Libre made with Diplomatico Mantuano Rum.  Turn on the 77 and I’m in my Happy Place.  
 

My wife and I spent 20 years living in a small bungalow, saving and investing for our retirement dream home. We spent two years working on our house plans, and I spent hours designing my man cave. After throwing out several design themes (sports, speakeasy, beach, etc.), I finally decided to try to create something that reminded me of Havana. We’ve made two trips to the island, and, as those of you who’ve been know, that place has a way of getting into your soul.  So, long story short, this is the result.

I bet you’re a popular man with a lounge like that in your house!

Contrary to common belief. You are allowed to be proud and brag about your awesome man cave

Great set up - do the things you enjoy!

Love the picture of Kramer-wonder if he is smoking the same RAG that ultimately burned down the cabin!

Dude that’s badass. Great man cave.

Must be rough.  😆

That's one of the more spectacular smoking rooms I've seen.  Congrats.  

What's the ventilation and filtration setup like?

The room has a dedicated 1.5 ton HVAC with three charcoal filters. Also, over the smoking area, there is a 300cfm exhaust fan vented outside, and for good measure, a Rabbitaire filter with carbon filters. The room also has two windows that create cross ventilation that I raise when the weather is right. The room is the only room upstairs, and it is encased in spray foam insulation.

Damn,   Absolutely gorgeous.   I love seeing people’s personal space for cigars.  
 

Currently working on a 12x22 room above the garage for mine.  I will be doing all the work so it will be slow going until the weather gets better.  Have to dig a bunch of footers for the stairs.  
 

posts like this keep me inspired and help with design ideas.

Truly beautiful. Gives me hope that in some years down the road I too can build myself a spot like this!

Great work! It appears to be a very comfortable place to smoke. The prohibition ladies pic is priceless.
