Finding a cigar lounge on vacation

[Spurgeon Speaks]

Newbie here. Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this... I will be traveling to southern Illinois at Christmas. I cannot find a cigar lounge AT ALL in the Collinsville, Edwardsville, Fairview Heights area. COVID fears and restrictions aside, is there a lounge of any kind in the area where I can buy and smoke a cigar, even if outside?

I've never been to either of these and I'm pretty new to serious cigar smoking, but they may be within reach to the area you're staying. I can not vouch for either just trying to help

Thanks, JoeMO! I am staying about an hour east of there, but I may hook up with a BIL (don't know if he's a BOTL!) who lives in the STL area. Thanks again!

Last try. It looks like Fairview Heights had a Tinder Box until recently, but this one looks like it could have potential. Belleville is just south of Fairview Heights. http://www.cigarinn.net

Yep, that's the only one I found. I chatted with the owner the other day and he says that they are restricted to smoking outside only! I asked if the Governor has ever been outside in an Illinois winter? That one my best bet, I think. Thanks for confirming it. Man, somebody needs to open a shop around there. I guess I take the freedom here in Texas for granted. Blessings to you, brother!

Gran Cru is near downtown StL. The Hill Cigar Co, near Barnes Jewish Hospital. 66 Cigar out near Webster Groves is a great place, and yes they are open.

Thanks, Thoughts. I just happen to have a buddy down that way and we usually meet up at 66 Cigar. Great owner and decent amount of cigars.

If you have your own, and don't mind a drive out I-70, go to Ameristar Casino. They have spaced out seating and allow cigars in the gambling area.

Good luck.
