Beta tested the cigar lounge, ventilation system seems to be working well.

Our very own BluGill assisting with the humidor assembly, I couldn't have done it without him. Mr. Grimes was assisting as well.

Looking good.

Do you have a liquor license? What other service or offerings do you have beyond cigar sales and sitting area?

Phase One: a traditional cigar retailer. We'll sell you a cigar. Enjoy it sitting in a comfortable club chair or take it home. Our goal is Friday the 21st.

Phase Two: the Low Point Beer bar. More bar equipment arrives next week. After the plumber and city inspectors are done we'll sell you a 3.2 beverage or if you prefer a French press coffee. Time frame about 3 weeks max.

Phase Three: the full liquor bar. That is still a few months away. Let's not focus negative energy on a slow state bureaucracy. ;0)

So you are building out with phase three in mind? Sounds like you are going about it the right way. How far are you from OKC?

JohnRogers 08-18-2015 04:18 PM

Re: Opening a Cigar Lounge
 
Yes sir. 90 minutes north of OKC by car.

Enid though is not a tiny town by any means.

I will be making the trip up sometime soon. Assuming that you are open, maybe the Thursday before labor day. I am taking some time off.

Been open three days now, tired but excited! I'm operating as a cigar retailer for now. The 3.2 beer bar opens soon, less than 3 weeks. Full liquor in a few months.

I couldn't have done it without fellow inmate BluGill
