Members are allowed one guest but anymore you pay $50 fee if they want access to bar if not $25. The lounge is very nice and offers private meeting room. Two large screen TV's with all amenities. Sounds expensive but there are approximately 71 members. Keeping it private has brought in a higher end spender and being next to the Capital we have numerous politicians, lobbyist. The owner has some very nice hidden perks as well.

This is an example of the high-end extreme.
These types of lounges are highly exclusive and very few and far between. There maybe less than 100 cigar lounges of this type nationwide.
Judging from the type of store it sounds like you
the OP have... this type of lounge is an absolute no-go for you,
the OP until you have an extremely sound financial scenario. Judging from the query you posed as to how to afford a lounge, this is not the route you should pursue. That's not to say that some day you can't get to this level... but there's a hell of a lot of work involved to get you there. Unless of course you are independently wealthy.
