Here's where it becomes clever and pricey. You purchase both the store and the apartment above it. Usually these sell as a complete unit.
Your cigar shop is opened on the main floor. You create the lounge in the apartment, which you own as "your personal residence". You just so happen to allow your "friends" to go into your personal residence to smoke. BYOB of course. No licenses needed, and separate entrance. Obviously, this option would only be open to a customer who purchases a cigar from your shop and would like to smoke it indoors in comfort.
You would not advertise this additional space to just anyone...it would be discretely known to your regular, loyal customers. I've just shared my dream with you.
Boom!

Damn that could be a million dollar idea.
