I went up this past weekend with my 2 brothers.  This place is really cool.  Beyond the cigars, there are a couple big seating areas, two bars and 2 levels.  In the summer the place has a ton of deck space as well.  Easily the coolest cigar place I've ever been.  

Here's a couple pictures.

It's about an 1 1/2 hours from me so it is pretty much an all day trip to go and hang out.

That looks very nice.  What is especially appealing is that you can see from one end to the other without straining to see through a cloud of smoke.  It looks like the ventilation system actually works!

I agree. I'm jealous for sure.

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

Thats nice! we don't have nothing like that here, unless your in a proper cigar only store, you not even allowed to see the sticks before you buy them. They hand you a catalog to look through and make your choices.

Wow Im gona have to check that out next time im out in PA

With all the seating, do they serve drinks of any sort?

Its funny how perspective changes based on where you live, I've been here in DC for almost 15 years, if my daily commute home is an 1 1/2 I am doing good.  :smoker2:

My daily commute is usually an hour but sometimes longer due to traffic.  

My point was that given 3 hours round trip, I ideally want to take at least 6 hours to enjoy a couple smokes and a meal there.   :biggrin:

There is a Red Robin in the same shopping center that they have partnered with to deliver food.  They have Red Robin menus with the CI logo.

Cool. With no insulation on that roof deck, it must cost out the A$$ for them to HVAC that place.

I do a similar thing... plus I look at the expected departure time and balance that with traffic. I miss TX!

Wow! That looks great, and the notion that customers can enjoy a drink to go with their cigar is exotic and foreign to me, having to exist here in Commiefornia with no smoking anywhere, anytime, except in my garage....

I would love to visit the CI Superstore!

Given the comparatively lax smoking ban in PA, there are still a few bars that you can smoke in.  Restaurants are few and far between but both Famous and CI have restaurant/bars that allow (encourage) cigar smoking.  Both are a little over an hour from me.

The best cigarbar in my area (Churchill's in Baton Rouge) has a fully stocked bar, and a menu of mostly bar food that they cook on site. The only thing they don't have is draft beer, which I love. It is a very nice place to sit and smoke, about 35 min from my house. I need to snap and post some pics the next time I go; a very manly place, all leather and fine wood appointments, etc.

That place looks cool. Too bad it's so far from home for ya.


 Fortunately, we have a great restaurant right down the street that allows smoking and quite a few bars around here but, my favorite Mexican place just removed their smoking section a couple months ago! *&^%!@$$!  Now I have to wait for it to warm up so I can eat and smoke outside on their patio with my Margaritas.

They used to serve steaks there too, didn't they?  It's been about 6 years since I was there, but I recall they had a pretty nice selection of "collector grade" whisky as well...  If it's the same place, it's a great cigar lounge.   :biggrin:
