I'm done smoking in Cigar Lounges

I enjoy a nice cigar lounge as much as the next guy, but I don't know how some of you guys hang out in them.

Every time I come out of one of them my clothes STINK, and I'm a cigar smoker.

I mean they STINK so bad that when I get home I have to wash everything I'm wearing. I made the mistake of bringing my backpack and laptop in a few of them, now they stink too.

Here's pictures of some of the CL's I've been in, but I'm done.

Great ventilation is one of the main reasons I stick with a certain B&M here in town. I think this is HUGE when owning a cigar shop. I hardly ever smell like a cigar when I come out of the lounge.

I know how you feel. Sucks when I go after work on Fridays and have to take the bus home

That's just one of many hazards of the hobby. Suck it up!

I've been thinking of going shirtless the rest of my life to avoid another burn hole from a hot ash.

Shouldnt this be in the Joke thread?

God forbid you should have to wash your clothes after wearing them. I was not aware that laptops absorbed odors, maybe try some Fabreze on the backpack.

OMG it's such a hassle.

I was thinking the same thing, or the OP got hacked by his wife

I wash my clothes after wearing them, just not right when I walk in the door (which is what I have to do).

I love the smell

But ventilation is a big deal

What he said "VENTILATION" is key...

The car is much worse, and as mentioned before ventilation is a big one. but for some reason it's the last thing some store owners want to invest in.

lenguamor · 07-17-2012, 11:56 AM

I've gotten very picky about where I smoke. Because, if you think about it, if you stink that bad after hanging out there then the ventilation was crap; and if that's so, then you inhaled a ton more smoke than necessary to enjoy our shared avocation.

I've been to places—ONCE, mind you—that were so bad I felt like leaving within minutes.

Try to find another place, one with better ventilation. By patronizing the places that spend a bit more on their customers' comfort and health, you perpetuate that business model.

I know, right? Anymore I only go to all-you-can-eat buffets that have treadmills.

I like my cigar lounge. They have a washer and dryer to clean your clothes before you leave and loaner hoodies and sweats so that you don't have to go buck nekkid. It's the little things like this that keep me going there.

That and the all you can drink Jack Daniels Thursdays.

I'd imagine the second item is probably more for the benefit of the other patrons there.....
