Downtown Portland- Places to smoke

[Dukeuni]

Just wanted to give everyone a update. I ended-up going to the cigar lounge on Saturday night. The restaurant was packed because of Valentine Day, but the cigar lounge was not that full. The cigar prices were just outrageous, but I guess that is what I should expect. I enjoyed my Ron Zacapa rum and a Opus X Love Story. They had the flat screen showing the Olympics, and overall I had a great time.

The only thing I would have changed for the lounge would have been a little better ventilation, some more room, and all full size leather chairs and one more couch. I just wish I did not feel like the red-headed stepchild of the restaurant. By hiding the lounge in the back corner, you feel like a leper.

They have been planning an expansion of the cigar lounge for quite some time. Since they serve meals in there they won't take out the tables, but it would be great if it was all nice leather chairs and end-tables.

The expansion they are planning will move the wall with the humidor back about 20 feet. They have been planning it for some time; I hope they will start working on it soon

Glad you had a good time -- maybe next time you are in town I can meet you!
