Need advice on Partnering with a Steak House

[jjirons69]

David, being from Charleston, I know the no smoking policy is pretty stiff downtown. Club Habana was the last cigar bar and when they wanted/needed to move, the city wouldn't let their grandfather clause go with them, so they were done. Silly question, has this steak house researched the laws in the city. I don't see how they're going to make themselves out to be a cigar smoking establishment. I'm not certain about what constitutes "no smoking", i.e. if it also covers smoking outside on the streets or sidewalks of said establishment. Certainly make sure all the bases are covered before you waste any more time or energy on this project. I'd hate for the whole thing to be a bust because city council puts their foot down.
