Wow talk about ironic. Turns out work decided to take us to sullivans and I see guys smoking stogies at the tables outside. Nice

Ok, thanks for the input. I might just deal with the sidewalk without a drink. Maybe I'll look up some of those places if they don't take too long to get to.

I'm here in Chicago on business and this city is annoying me! It's a very nice, clean city but I can't find a place to enjoy a cigar with a glass of scotch or beer. Looks like smoking is banned everywhere indoors, and all the places I've been too won't even let you smoke outside when on their...

I'm a new cigar smoker and have yet to frequent any cigar bars. I've waited tables for several years in the past so I want to be respectful of eating/drinking establishments. I'll be going on a cruise in a few weeks on Royal Caribbean and I noticed they have an on-board cigar bar. I plan on...
