Dealing with Smoking Nazis

This reminds me of my cruise for my 50th Bday this past April.
I was at the Viking Lounge, designated for smoking and specially for cigars.
They even had a cabinet with cigars to purchase.
I sit down with the wife to enjoy an after dinner drink and a great 70's Montecristo #2 Dunhill given by a fellow BOTL as my celebration smoke.
I light it up, am in heaven.
Suddenly, I hear snickering from a couple about the cigar smoke.
I looked over to them and then looked back and continued my cigar.
This went on for a while.
Occasional anti cigar snickering until finally, I could not take it anymore and had to ask.
I asked them why on Earth, if they knew they were in a smoking lounge, designated for cigars, would they go out of their way to sit there and antagonize me as I politely sat there to enjoy my drink, cigar and conversation with my wife.
Their response was they didn't know you could smoke cigars there.
My response was, well now you know.

from what I've heard, people can get pretty bent out of shape about smoking in California, but I never ran into any problems when I was out there last.
