Why I hate going to my local B & M

[Cigar Jack]

Most of the B&M's around here are great. My fear is that that State of Ohio and the Anti-Smoking Nazi's are doing everything in their power to drive them out of business.

I have to agree about Cincinnati. I get to Cincinnati once or twice a year for work and always stop at the Straus. They always seem to have a great selection. I always make sure I have extra room in my Cigar Caddy for the treasures I find there.

I will be very upset if they ban smoking. I make sure to visit Nicholson's Tavern & Pub for their huge selection of scotch and a cigar at least once while I am there. It just would not be the same without the cigar.

I met the owner of the Montgomery Inn last year. He was smoking a cigar at the bar with us, so I know they will lose as well. His family is well known in the state, so hopefully they will have a bit of clout and can get this stopped.

Good luck. We are fighting the same thing here in Maryland.

Next time you are in Cincinnati drop me a PM. I work downtown and thankfully we can still smoke at Straus' or go across the river.
