It wasn't the worse place I've been. You could run to the bar and get your drink and bring it back to the smoke shop side. Their selection wasn't bad for a smaller shop either.
The only problem I had was people wanting to smoke cigarettes would pop in, smoke their cig and leave. They were just using it as an opportunity to smoke while getting out of the cold.
What about some place like The Humidour or Mt. Washington Cigars? Then we can hit Mother's when it gets a little warmer.
