Restaurants With Humidors

JohnRogers · 10-14-2009, 07:01 PM

Here I sit my hotel room in Fort Worth Texas wondering does Fort Worth have a nice steakhouse with a walk in humidor? Surely, I think to my self yet a web search comes up empty. I did a search here about the subject finding nothing. A list by city of such places with reviews would be handy. Is that something any of the big cigar magazines do every year?

That would be very cool if there were such a place!

I have been in plenty of restaurants all over the country and I have never seen a walk in humi in one, would be pretty impressive though. I think they outlawed smoking in restaurants in Ft Worth a while back but not absolutely sure about it.

They do exist in Dallas, Denver and NYC for sure. I'd bet a hundred dollars Chicago and San Fransisco to...wait-wait scratch San Fransisco.

Hope the Texas Motor Speedway is all you hoped it would be!
I'm sure there is probably a place where you can find a great cigar after finding a place with a great steak though!

Like I said double check that I am not positive they outlawed it in Ft Worth but seems like they did. Outlawed in Galveston and Austin I know for sure.

Local businesses weigh in on smoking ban

December 10, 2007

The haze will lift on Fort Worth’s new smoking ordinance Jan. 1, but restaurant and bar owners remain unsure what – if any – impact the more restrictive rules will have on business.

As previously reported, “the new smoking ordinance adopted by the Fort Worth City Council with a 7-2 vote on Aug. 21 places more restrictions on public places where smoking will be allowed.” Stand-alone bars and retail tobacco stores, outdoor dining areas, bingo halls and public spaces used for private functions may permit smoking; bars inside restaurants will become smoke-free, except those where “alcohol accounts for 70 percent or more of combined food and alcohol sales.”

Fort Worth’s smoking ban comes late in the game; several other Texas cities, including Arlington and Dallas, have already adopted similar measures to curb second-hand smoke exposure

Here is a GREAT steak restaurant in Raleigh - The Angus Barn - and here is a link to their walk-in humidor.

A restaurant called "Coolwater" in Fayetteville, AR used to have a smoking lounge with humidors all along the walls in the bar area. It was nice and relaxing. Dont know if its still there though. The bar was called the Mud Creek Pub with the cigar room.

Damn, I could dine there right now!

No steakhouses with walkins in Fort Worth, I'm afraid. Del Friscos used to keep a small humidor upstairs when smoking was still allowed. Pop's Safari Bar just outside of downtown has a walkin and a pretty good restaurant.

Here's a great site to check where ever you travel my brother. When I was traveling for the Fed's it sure came in handy for me.

Looks great! Next time I'm in Raleigh...

Norcal_aaron · 10-14-2009, 08:36 PM

I think Porters in Bend OR, has a humi., I know they are cigar friendly and have a nice patio in the back. Ohh and by the way they have some great steaks as well.

elderboy02 · 10-14-2009, 08:38 PM

There aren't many cigars in restaurants in my area b/c of the smoking ban, but Montgomery Inn has a display humidor. Most are the lower-end smokes with high price tags. I did manage to find a few smokes with yellow cello though and I bought a few

JJG · 10-14-2009, 09:53 PM

yep, no more smoke friendly restaurants allowed in Houston either, but the saddest part for me is that they outlawed smoking in bars and pubs too. I used to really enjoy a nice cocktail and a cigar. Not all places permitted cigar smoking but some of my favorite watering holes used to have a cigar menu and maintained humidors behind the bar.

wavescrashing · 10-14-2009, 10:49 PM

I'd love to find a place like this. The closest thing I've found is ordering sushi near a lounge I go to occasionally. They deliver it to me, I eat, have a beer, then I smoke. Still pretty cool once you wave the thick cloud of smoke from your food, lol.

The only place I know of in San Francisco is a bar that I've been to, very cool place.
