B&M's and Lounges...

qsalinas · 03-23-2011, 04:20 PM

I am wondering what your thoughts are on your favorite B&M's and Lounges. Now these can be your local establishments or ones you have visited anywhere nationwide.

I would like to compile a list for myself and anyone else who may be travelling across the nation in need of a smoke frendly place.

Pls let me know why/what you like about the B&M/Lounge along with the name and a website. The website is really what I'm must interested in because I can get all the info I need(address, phone#, hours).

Thank you in advance,

For Wisconsin the 3 Lounges I frequent the most are:

The Tasting Room of Monona (www.thetastingroomofmonona.com) Run by two Brothers, both are VERY nice and friendly. They have a fairly large humidor stocked with all of the new cigars as well as popular favorites. This is probably my number 1 B&M in WI.

Titletown Tobacco (www.titletowntobacco.com) is a new installment in Green Bay, WI. Very nice people and a decent humidor. Carries mostly boutique brands. The lounge itself is geared more towards it's members, but the small sitting area in the front isn't bad at all.

Appleton Souvenir and Cigar Co. (http://www.appletoncigar.com/) has a large sitting area, small bar and a large well stocked humidor. This is a very nice place to sit and relax! Highly recommended!

In Pennsylvania... City Tobacco in Edwardsville. Dino and the gang are THE BEST!!

I like Holt's in Philadelphia because of the intersting clientele I always run into when I'm there. Last time I met a Comcast executive and Talmuldic scholar from Israel. We had a very interesting conversation about politics.

Oh Hey! You're in Houston, where the ONLY legal cigar bar in town is Downing Street. Seriously, when they outlawed smoking in bars, this place was the only one in Houston that got an exemption.

"The Smoking Lamp" in Charleston, SC is where I always used to go back when I lived out there. They also have a good selection of beers in there, no hard stuff though.

In KC, Outlaw Cigars has two shops with nice lounges. Ive yet to go to the south store, but I understand it's HUGE (being a old Macaroni Grill).

I vote for 1701 in downtown Detroit. It has a walkin humidor, 1st floor lounge, a basement with a full bar, 2 flat screens, leather sofas & chairs, live jazz on the weekend, and a members only area with a large projection system, dvd player, and private sound system.
