I was standing outside One World Trade center, staring up at the night sky and trying to see the top of the tower: At 1,776 feet, it reigns supreme as the tallest building in the western hemisphere. You look up at it and feel impossibly small. Across the street I could see the glowing lights of the Davidoff cigar lounge; its facade part of the stylish hub of luxury shops and office buildings known as Brookfield Place, in the Battery Park City area of downtown Manhattan. | Cigar Aficionado
