Only existing cigar stores and cigar lounges (holding a class B license with 15% cigar sales) opened before this date will have the legal smoking exception. I opened in July of 2008 and currently have cigar sales that exceed 15% of our gross sales. We also hold a class B liquor license. I am preparing to sell the business and looking for input regarding the best way to advertise this unique situation. I wouldn't necessarily be selling just the business, but rather the exception to the state smoking ban.

If serious, it sucks that you are being forced to sell. Best of luck to you.
