Were your smokes the only thing tha was stolen from this- "lounge" or whatever it is? I'm unclear about exactly what it was, who had access to it, etc. Could a party have thought the cigars were there for the taking as part of the rental of the hall? Seems to me that SOMEONE should be able to do a little detective work and discover at least to some degree what happened here. It sure is a sad state of affairs when people take what isn't theirs, but I feel that you could at least be able to narrow it down a bit. As everyone said, this sucks big time and hopefully you will be remunirated in some form for the loss. The person who rented the "lounge" should be held responsibe to some degree for not vetting those that used the space. It breaks my heart to read this, brother!
