cigarette smokers in B&Ms

Hell no. Keep your nasty cigarettes out of cigar establishments. Smoke that crap outside.

but at a cigar bar that serves alcohol they are probably spending as much as you if not MORE and keeping the establishment open for you to smoke your cigars in!

I like to sit on a park bench with my old stockin cap and stitched and patched plaid over shirt...I then stare at cigar smokers until they offer me a cigar..I always choke on the first drag and watch them smile, then I get to business and toke that cigar to the cap..

First they came for the Cigarette Smokers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Cigarette Smoker.

We need to be careful what we bitch about. All of us have a vice someone else doesn't like.

Meh, I'm an ex-cig smoker and I don't usually mind the smell... but if I was in a cigar lounge, it might be a different story. I don't know, as I haven't experienced it yet. Of course, the owners make the rules, and play by them or play elsewhere, but personally I'd think it odd to allow cigs in a cigar bar, especially considering how many "smoking" places don't allow cigars. It makes sense though when there's alcohol involved, or if the ventilation system really is all that and a bag of chips.

As to "they are one of us", I would disagree... I think the two "hobbies", if you can even qualify smoking cigarettes as such, are worlds apart, and the more awareness of this that there is, perhaps the better off cigar smokers may be.

Not trying to strip cig smokers of their rights here, just saying that if it's a cigar bar, I'd expect/hope that I could enjoy my cigars there without other offensive odors being present.

Interested in how this will play out once recreational pot is legalized in more places, as that has an even more pervasive smell when smoked- although I find it to be more pleasant than that of cigs, and simply different than that of cigars.

Far from one of us. this is what the government is going is lumping cigar smokers in with cig smokers. this is why some states have taxes on cigars because the cigars are lumped in with cigs and cig tobaccoo. this is a big reason i like swisher buying out drew estate. they have a huge lobby in the cigar industry and now have a "true" cigar company and can help fight to keep the government from lumping us with cig smokers.

Unfortunately if they sell them, it is at owners discretion to allow. I am an ex? smoker(@work because all 10 minute cigarellos taste like hot garbage) personally I would not want that smell while enjoying my nica puro, but I have never even seen anyone come in looking for cigs.

Now it works.


So as far as smokers in lounges that would completely change the atmosphere.i know NO ONE who smokes out of pleasure. BUT if the owner allows it, nothing to do but avoid the joint.

Haha, a few years from now tobacco will be illegal and pot will be legal... everywhere. Oh the irony.
