Before every Bulls game, Michael Jordan had a habit of enjoying a cigar. Photographs of him holding one are quite familiar to the fans. He always has a distinct persona and a smile on his face when he discusses cigars. His love for them dates back to the early 90s. It would have been unusual if he hadn’t graced America’s most luxurious cigar lounge and resort, joining luminaries like Wayne Gretzky and Mike Tyson. Jordan only elevated the elegance of the place with his presence.

The grandeur of the Eight Lounge’s opening last year was as opulent as the illustrious guests in attendance.
