Fuego By Sosa Cigars, A Cigar Bar For Disney

You wouldn't peg Disney World as the place to find the latest hot cigar bar but Fuego by Sosa Cigars opened last month on Disney's Pleasure Island. Cigar Aficionado reports that the cigar bar has a cool bar that looks like a slab of melting ice and a full menu of alcoholic beverages. There is also outdoor seating, Custom wooden humidors offer a variety of cigars include the Fuente Fuente Opus X as well as the house brand Sosa cigars. Smoking is prohibited throughout much of Walt Disney World and is limited to designated smoking areas. The cigar bar is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Walt Disney Signature Furniture


If I say Disney furniture you may immediately be thinking of designs for a child's bedroom embellished with Disney characters. But Drexel Heritage has released a line of furniture that uses the name of Walt Disney to create some sexy refined-looking furniture. The piece shown here is the plasma credenza. It has a black granite top with laminated edges and is designed to be home to a giant television (not something around in Disney's day). The credenza has pullout trays for media storage and back panel access for cords. It sells for $2,359. The rest of the line includes couches and brown leather chairs. Furniture lines that have an iconic name are a bit of a trend lately: Thomasville has lines attached to Humphrey Bogart and Ernest Hemingway.

Disney Launches Luxe Baby Line

Disney has just announced the introduction of two collections of luxury children's apparel, aimed at infants and toddlers, due in department stores like Bloomingdales and Nordstrom this fall, as well as at some boutiques. The lines, Classic Disney and Walt Disney Signature, will "offer cashmere blankets, hooded robes and mittens, bibs and burp cloths, organic cotton tees, cardigans, and casual separates." While they will make use of the well-known Disney characters and artwork, their use will be subtle and understated.

The Classic Disney collection will focus on the classic films, including Bambi, Pinocchio and Lady and the Tramp, and their characters. Bambi will be the first character to launch, with baby blankets and burp clothes to be followed by the organic cotton tees and pajamas. The Walt Disney Signature collection will be "vintage-inspired, eclectic and of the finest quality," with pastel colors and cashmere, silk and linen fabrics adorned with sketchbook artwork and appliques.

Golden Mickey

The ultimate collectible for a Disney fan is now on sale. Celebration Mickey stands 24-inches high and is made from 1,500 troy ounces of 24K gold. Despite his small size, Mickey weighs over 100-lbs. The sculpture is the largest gold piece ever commissioned by Disney, possibly in the whole United States, and was cast 2001 to commemorate Disney's 100th anniversary. The specific design used for it was done by Marc Delle, based on the original design by Walt Disney himself. Mickey's price tag, based on his original appraisal after casting, is $4 million.
