DOMINICAN-SWISS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE INTERESTING CIGAR LIBRARY OF This Swiss Resort has one of the Biggest

High in the Swiss Alps, one luxury resort is enticing visitors with an unusual attraction. The Chedi Hotel in the mountain town of Andermatt is home to a cigar library containing a vast specialized collection. Many are rare and very expensive with some guests even visiting the resort specifically to sample them. Adam Török, a member of the bar team who mans the collection, explains what to expect when visiting a cigar library.

What is a cigar library?

The Chedi’s cigar library is made up of two elegantly furnished rooms. The first is a cozy, softly lit lounge with plush chairs and bookshelves where guests can smoke. Just off this room is a locked cabinet lined with glass display cases filled with row upon row of cigars. Here, the hotel presents some of its collection of nearly 950 cigars produced by over 400 brands in 15 different countries. A large number of the pieces are limited edition or rare.
