Don't try to smoke a cigar at a Dave and Buster's. I found that out the hard way. After charging up game cards and ordering drinks and appetizers, I light up a Oliva G Maduro and immediately get the news that ONLY CIGARETTES are allowed: http://www.daveandbusters.com/Misc/HousePolicies.aspx

That place sucks anyway. I'd rather sit in the bar at the bowling alley than go to that overpriced arcade with bar food, anyway.

Not surprising.  That place is way overpriced, anyway.

I've never been to D&B, but that is ridiculous! People can smoke their s**tty cigarettes, but we can't smoke our (better smelling) cigars? WTF?!?!?!  :mad:

I've never been to the one here in Jacksonville, but from what I've heard I haven't missed much.

F**k'em, vote with your feet. I know just how this type situation feels: about 2 years ago, me and the SO were on a romantic weekend in NO. We walked into the cigar room at the Ritz, sat down and I lit up. The bartender actually ran out from behind the bar and threw us out in a very rude way, it seems the room had been re-classified as non smoking since our last visit. I gave the prick a good a$$ chewing, and then we sat down in the open air atrium and smoked. I did have an interesting discussion with the manager wrt the confrontation, and he gave me a nice cigar on the house: he went into the room we had just been thrown out of, accessed the humidor there.....see the irony? People need to chill, cigars are a luxury, not an evil force to be eradicated.

One of the local bars here, before smoking was banned altogether, had a sign up that said "Absolutely no cigar smoking".
I can remember times that I walked into the joint and the cigarette smoke was too much for me to take, even though I'm a cigarette smoker too.
I can't imagine how cigar smoke could have made it any worse, but found out later that it was a group of punks coming in there smoking Black and Milds and Backwoods that prompted the manager to put up the sign.
Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most.

I am tempted to go into my local D&B, just order a water and light up a cigarillo.  Be interesting to see how they respond.

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

I always ask if a bar allows cigars because I have seen more than a few that allow cigarettes only.  I have no idea why. :confused:

Definitely do it. Let us know how it ends.

I don't know why, either.  The majority of the non-smokers I know would much prefer the smell of a cigar to a cigarette.  If you are going to allow smoking, then allow it  :mad:

We don't have them here in Minnesota but I have had the same experience in some of the Native American Casinos in MN. I didn't have that problem in Wisconsin. So how do they figure a cigarette smells better than a quality cigar? What morons.

I'm lucky, my SO loves the smell of my cigars.

I don't know about yours, but the one in my area of California has zero indoor smoking.  If you want to light up you gotta get out.  On busy nights the front door is pretty much blocked by all the smokers.

If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'" -Jack Handy

Um...never.  Every woman I've smoked around has commented that they like cigar/pipe smells, that it's better than cigarette smoke, etc.

My wife tolerates my cigar smoking, but she does NOT like the smell.  She does admit it smells better than cigarettes, though.
