I'm done smoking in Cigar Lounges

I stay out of strip clubs for the same reason!

I have found that in some of the best ventilated places my clothes, laptop and bag will still pick up the cigar scent. Even smoking outside I find I will often pick up the smell on my clothes. I look at it as something that comes with the territory although some lounges ventilation systems are absolutely useless and once you get two or more smokers the room it's just a haze. I usually try to avoid such places but I am still in the camp of thinking that no matter what you do you will always smell a little bit.

When I'm back home the place I smoke is very well ventilated so I rarely leave smelling worse than if I'd smoked on my patio alone.

What he said "VENTILATION" is key...

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.....

Tell them to add Stoli, and I'm in.

Smell like cigars? Gross!!

I just wish I had the option of a cigar lounge locally. Not a big deal in the Spring/Summer/Fall, but going to watch a ball game and have a nice cigar or two, would be nice in the Winter....

Cigar smoke is like a pheromone to my wife. Sucks to be you! Speaking of which, I need to go smoke.

Don't bring anything you can't wash. You're supposed to wash your clothes anyways...

[Silound]

Coming from a former B&M employee, I can tell you that there is no way to ventilate a lounge well enough if there are 10 guys all chuffing away like a Union Pacific Big Boy hauling a string up-grade. The best thing you can do is have very high ceilings and multiple smoke eaters, but even then you may have to simply vent to outside air to clear the smoke every so often (that's expensive and being restricted a lot more by laws).

Being a single guy, I don't worry what smells I might bring home (probably better than the smells I already have anyway), but I do worry about what I track back to the office every day. I keep some smoking clothes in my truck so that if I go by the shop for lunch, I can quickly change into something I don't mind smelling like smoke and change back when I return to the office.

I was starting to wonder if the rest of you were smoking different cigars than I was, but John voiced exactly what I was going to say.

Even in well ventilated areas (read: outside) I smell like smoke when I'm done with a cigar. It's in my hair, my shirt, my pants, if I'm reading then so does my book, if I'm on my laptop that smells like smoke too - it's just part of smoking cigars.

Now having said that, yes...smoking at a B&M or at a friends house where I'm inside (and even with a decent to good ventilation system) I will smell stronger of smoke when I leave. It's pretty much a rule in my house that I just strip off my clothes that I wore at the door when I get home and throw them in the laundry room (my fiancee hates the smell of smoke).

I've noticed that the day after a herf even my wallet smelled smokey

As others have said...it's just part of our hobby.

I don't think I've ever smoked a cigar indoors, even from back in my days of smoking cigarettes. I hate wearing clothes that smell like smoke.

At our cigar club we have air cleaners in every room and a huge ventilation fan above the front door. Usually the air cleaners do the job but if we get a crowd in, especially for our monthly dinners, we crank up the fan to take care of the excess smoke. Works like a charm.

I don't worry about the smell on my clothes. It pays to be married to a woman that smokes cigars also.

i love the smell of stale cigar smoke...smells like success.

I would recommend staying away from fishing too, You might end up smelling like fish.

Really though...
Small price to pay for short trips to utopia.

With a little upkeep and making odor control a priority, i think it can be managed. at the shop i work at, an ionizer and a decent ventalation system can handle the typical traffic. if there is an event or a larger group in, cracking the front and back doors will clear the smoke out almost immediately. i dont think its worth spending time in any location that makes you feel uncomfortable (been in many lounges where it's difficult to open your eyes without burn), but that being said, a little odor should be expected, in my opinion

Everytime I get in my car and drive for a week I have to pump gas I mean what gives! Also when I drink alot of water I have to use the restroom.




It's all related to what you do. I say stop smoking and donate your smokes to the troops.
