I agree, tough crowd for a B&M cigar shop; plus I think you'll have better luck with a cigar lounge with optional adult beverages. I would also go to a friendly location. Get your licences and permits ahead of time before you sink a ton of money into your business. If you'll need funding good luck with that one too.
