Thanks for sharing, I get the odd feeling you went in and were expecting your group to be singled out or something, I would hope being a "multi-ethnic" group would have nothing to do with it, more like you were a few people coming in together?

As I entered I immediately felt EVERYBODY in the room fix their eyes on me and my entourage. Keep in mind we were a multi-ethnic group in our mid to late twenties, and this being my first time in the U.S I had no Idea what to expect. This really made me understand the intimidation some feel when walking into a lounge.

I have been to quite a few Cigar Lounges and have never felt intimidated, makes me curious who these people that feel intimidation are.
Just for the record, were you the only one smoking, you went in with an entourage, they all sat down and ordered water, you bought a couple cigars and exchanged two lighters (as in to lighters that were no longer working properly so you brought them to exchange them under their warranty?) and only tipped for the wine? You know it's legal to tip a bartender if they are just bringing you water specially if there are a few of you there, at least in most places
Sounds like you enjoyed the place, there's nothing like a nice cigar lounge to hang out in and relax while having a smoke.
