Seeing as you already have bar experience, and if the law will allow it, perhaps open up a regular lounge bar with a little closet humidor first, then if you are seeing enough return on your investment in your cigar sales you can move the humidor into a room as your customers interests, and your wallet, grows...

I think this is the key! If you look at most B&M/Lounges here in NYC they offer some other service as well.

A straight up B&M/Lounge will have to have a location where there are a lot of smokers/traffic whether it be commercial/residential and or easy access for a smoker passing thru to stop by on the way home or something like that.
