Why did I bring cigars to WISCONSIN????

When there is no place to smoke them....... What's with the smoking bans

replicant_argent · 11-30-2010, 04:36 PM

They followed MNs lead...

Yeah. Sad.

Too cold outside here to smoke a stogie.

Can't speak for Wisconsin, but I had some good times with Paul and Andy in MN. There were a few places you could smoke still, unless thats changed within the las three years Pete.

There still are, but I think I could count them on both of my hands for the entire metro area, so that is sad.

There's Golden Leaf East (LOW selection now), Golden Leaf Uptown, Burn, Tobacco Grove, and Cigar Jones (assuming it's still there). I don't count Stogies on Grand, because I think they're arseholes there.

At least we can still smoke on patios at restaurants, but it's too damn cold to do so here most of the year.

Over in Hudson, there's St. Croix Cigar.

I think Wisconsin's smoking laws are very similar to our here, but might be a bit more relaxed (not much, though). At least their taxes are lower than ours!

Wisconsin? Really? Did you lose a bet?

replicant_argent · 11-30-2010, 04:39 PM

lots of brothers in WI, which town are you being punished in?

kaisersozei · 11-30-2010, 04:41 PM

That's why you need to swing back 'round to VA sometime, kemosabe, we're still a little relaxed here

Gophernut · 11-30-2010, 04:48 PM

I know of a few places where one can still smoke. Depends on where you are at.

Even with all that California wants to ban, cigars have not been one of them. Though LA has made it illegal to smoke in any outdoor area at a restaurant/bar. Stupid Californians.

Great place in West Allis, Havana Lounge. Full liquor service as well.

Tasting Room of Monona in Monona WI (Near Madison)
TitleTown Tobacco in Green Bay

I usually hit Havana Lounge when I am in the area with King James and RenoB.

CoreyD · 12-02-2010, 01:06 AM

yeah I was gonna say if your in appleton theres appleton cigars and souvenirs to rest that weary had with a stick and watch a flat screen and have a drink but your in GB and like emjay said Titletown. and since your leavin at noon i cant drive the 20 mins to show you where it is cause i may not wake up before noon since I work 3rd shift thurs night and am gonna need my beuty sleep so glad I could help. hehe. I told my landlord I made my storage unit in a lil sit and smoke area cause its getting cold and she didn't seem like it was an issue. kinda cozy but yet warm. So us wisconsinites still get to smoke, just need to go to cigar smoking lounges or private home areas.

On my way back to Wisconsin in a few weeks. Haven't been home since the ban went into effect, but I'm going to exploit as many places as I can while I'm home. St. Croix Cigar for sure, might head over to the Twin Cities as well. But I will be smoking somewhere
