About the Seasoned Owner at Bill’s La Habana Cigar Club
Owner Bill Elsasser has been busy expanding the offerings and enhancing the atmosphere at the cigar lounge on Pasadena Ave. His goal is to provide the world’s best cigars and a place where lovers of the ‘cigar life’ can meet like-minded patrons and relax.
To that end, he’s been researching a new look and theme for the vintage establishment. Along with this, he’s introducing new products to complement the cigars, pipe tobacco, lighters, humidors, cutters, and other accoutrements now for purchase in the store. “Any accessory for the cigar world, we can get,’ he says, ‘and we can compete with online vendors for box purchases.”
Elsasser, 66, is deeply passionate about cigars and the culture associated with them. Since he discovered them about ten years ago, he’s been learning everything he can about them. He states, “There is much to know about cigars, their manufacture, history and the lifestyle associated with them.”
“People from all walks of life enjoy cigars,” he says, adding that he’s met everyone from plumbers and cattle ranchers to chief executive officers pursuing his interest. “It’s a very social business,” he says. Ask him a question about his beloved cigars and he can wax poetic.
