Wife asks, 'Why don't you open a cigar shop?'

I've always thought a cigar shop with a kick ass barrister would do it. You need one of those guys who can put little pictures on the foam and the missus can have a coffee while you check out the smokes. Some nice overstuffed chairs, a few good books on a shelf, oh - and customer lockers to hide their ill-gotten gains.

No issue will alcohol laws if you serve up a decent java. In Brooklyn? Killer idea.

We don't need any lawyers, but a barista to make some nice coffee drinks would be fantastic!

I think the point is, you probably want to have additional things to attract people and sell to them. It might be worth pointing out that JR's huge stores in N Carolina have a lot more floor space devoted to clothes, perfume, pots and pans than they do to cigars.
