Been ignoring the Tigers for years now... maybe between their current hot record and this thread they are interesting enough now!!! I have not heard about the cigar lounge at Comerica Park, but definitely need to look into this. antaean

An obvious scam. Now if there were some decent smokes in that box... antaean

Wilkey, Great job and thanks for another highly informative forensic analysis. Sure makes life a little easier for all of us. antaean
