Cigar Lounges...

This is by the same folks who are now determining how much money people can make. And supervising the restructuring of the auto companies. I wonder if they are going to use the same model as our federal government's budget...

I wish I were in DC. They might not have a vote in congress but they can smoke in public!! I live in Seattle. It was decided by public initiative to disallow smoking anywhere inside and within 25' of a business. Only the Indian casinos are exempt from the ban. The funny part is the number of people now walking around with cigarettes rather than being sequestered to a single area.

DC is not a bad area, but its not the best either. In the DC area, you have Bethesda Tobacco in Bethesda, W. Curtis Drappers in DC and then Shelley's Backroom also in DC which is a cigar bar. Usually when people come out here they get directed to Shelley's. Bethesda just isn't a big tourist trap, go figure.

I'm here in Denver and make it up to the mountains quite a bit. Denver still has a few places left, but the majority are gone. Up the mountains you get a dirty look for having an UNLIT cigar in your mouth, so my best bet is seclusion! HA!

Went to The Humidor in San Antonio this weekend. It was pretty awesome. Not the largest sellection, but no BS and they had many of the higher end/popular sticks in stock.

I try to visit The Hill Cigar Co here in St. Louis when ever I can (It‘s a little far from where I live), they have a nice little sitting area in the front of the store as well as a patio for when it's nice out. Their selection is pretty good as well. There is an interesting mix of regulars who frequent the place, and they have great events with excellent food.

I was pretty impressed with the Golden Leaf in Minneapolis when I was up there in April, they had two big sitting areas and huge humidor with a nice selection.
