If you are going to offer liquor at your cigar shop, I would check places that you could even get a liquor license for that type of establishment. A lot of places have limited number of liquor licenses offered, so, that should be priority number one. Second, I disagree with Silent Chamber about a city being the worst place to start. You want a larger city, more customers....In smaller city is where you are going to run into the problem of competition. In a small city that already has cigar shops with their loyal customers, your business will struggle because there are lses people who will try your shop. With a large city, there are millions of people, some will stay loyal to shop they are comfortable at, but there are more people that will try your shop. Pool tables are a great idea. Also, Poker tables....poker is the new rage, tournaments are a great way to draw a crowd.
