Private cigar lounge
 
My favorite cigar bar is planning on opening a private cigar lounge in the vacant space next to the bar. I don't have any details about cost or what the membership will provide, but based on other B&Ms with similar offerings typically just have billiards, TV and lockers. I think some might come with discounted cigars too.

Anyone a member of one of these? Depending on cost and benefits I'm not sure if it's worth it. Maybe if it is reasonably priced.

There is one a few blocks from my house. I'm not a member as I am away at school often, but if I was there is would be worth the $400 for a yearly membership. They give discounts on sticks and boxes, and are open 24/7. I can come in at 3am if I'm a member, and I can smoke my own sticks. At the moment, I have to buy at least one stick from them in order to smoke out in the front of their store, which is only open every other day from 6pm-10pm.

Vertigo Cigar in Seattle, which is run by our own BillyCigar, is such an establishment. Very cool place near the stadiums.

In AZ it may be worth the price of admission. Unless you like smoking outside in the summer? :2

Not me. I won't pay money to smoke in a lounge. If I buy a cigar and I can use the lounge, fine. Otherwise, count me out.

Plus, who the hell has that much free time that they can hang out in a cigar lounge for hours on end. Must be single guys :)

It'd take a HELL OF A LOT for me to give someone $400 so I can use their lounge. Should be free. :2

I'd rather deal with AZ summer heat, than MI winter cold.

Good point, I never thought of it that way. A few hundred $$$ may be cheap :)

As many members on here share the extra variable of living in a state that has some sort of smoking ban, every time the want to find a place to smoke a cigar; I would gladly pay a annual or a month to month/ quarter to quarter few. Many b & m's will only let you smoke sticks you purchase from them. I am not against this rule I am just limited by there selection. Or if I find a bar to go to, sometimes you have people that give you dirty looks the whole time. There are many people on,here that won't pay to smoke, but not having a place in my house I can smoke and limited retail or bar options make me yearn for a lounge that has a simple cost effective membership.

Sorry for the spelling errors. Autocorrect can be a bi#$@.

If there was one within 20 minutes or so of my house, it would be a no-brainer for me.

Works great for me. I pay about 650/year and keep my scotch in my locker. Heck of a lot cheaper than going out to a bar and I can smoke and relax. Also nice to hang with a bunch of people you know, since it's always the same people there.

Agree with all of these. Pete's point is especially salient.

A Lounge that is open 24/7, where you don't have to buy their sticks, can bring in your own alcohol, and if you do want sticks get a nice discount for it? As well as not having to sit out in the cold of the winter up in WI?

Yeah, it's worth it.

Seen one once in California that was nice. Billards, poker tables, lockers, bar, big tvs everywhere including the bathroom, large movie screen with leather movie seats, wifi, all the PPV fights and games on and if you want a movie they would play that too. It would be worth it to me for the 50.00 a month fee even if you only went in there a few times a month.

I guess living in So Cal, there are so many places with outdoor smoking, that I never had the need for an indoor lounge.

That, plus year round nice weather :)

(it's 80 and sunny today)

For me:
I can smoke inside.
Not a huge alcohol drinker when I'm smoking. I'd rather have an A&W.
It'd depend on the discount.

Besides the last, I'm set on paying $400 to use a lounge. I'd rather use a not as nice one for free, and that's if I use theirs... Back home I was in my local like I lived there, and it was free, and very nice. Where I live now, I don't stay at the lounge unless I'm meeting someone off of here for a herf.

Yeah since they have a bar and seating inside already I'm just not sure :) I am curious though. I will wait to see what they offer.

Have you been to Magnums in No. Phx? It's pretty nice.

No that is very far north for me. I've heard they are pretty expensive as well.
