Smoked a cigar..at a BAR...in PA!

Ok, maybe I'm not getting out much since the PA smoking ban, but I just found a bar that allows cigar smoking. I didn't think this was allowed anymore. They also serve food and alcohol.
Downtown Scranton's Radisson is in our historic train station, an amazing building with a massive lobby. I work five blocks away and live about 2 minutes away. Well I got word that they, due to a cigar bar specific lease, are grandfathered into allowing cigar smoking.
Well, I spent the last week working my butt off at work, and I was determined to lay back and relax. I ordered a wine and an ashtray, and smoked a Siglo II. Ahhhhhhhh. Gotta love loopholes!
Here's a pic of the outside of the hotel...

Very nice, I wish I could find a place to smoke inside anywhere in California.

Enjoy every day you are able to smoke inside.

Even when we could smoke in bars here, i rarely took advantage unless was in a particularly cigar-friendly establishment and personally, I prefer no smoking restaurants. Nevertheless, I say leave it up to business owner. If a patron has a problem with the smoking policy, they can go elsewhere. I miss enjoying a cigar with a nice cocktail.

Some of favorite places I can't smoke at anymore because they sell too much food. They still are a few places that I am allowed to smoke though.
