Puff, Puff! Cigar Bar for Fort Greene
In a former accountant’s office at 108 South Oxford Street, a boxing promoter has created a cozy throw-back of a space that will house Fort Greene’s first refuge for cigar smokers.

In a former accountant’s office at 108 South Oxford Street, a boxing promoter has created a cozy throw-back of a space that will house Fort Greene’s first refuge for cigar smokers. Called Diamante’s Brooklyn Cigar Lounge, the new space has quietly been open for a few days but won’t have its grand opening until November 7. At that point, cigar aficianados can keep a locker onsite with their cigars (which can be purchased at the bar) and personal bottle, as the joint has no liquor license—not does it plan to get one. We were particularly impressed with all the architectural salvage the owner (who’s family first moved to the area a century ago) used in rebuilding the space from scratch. GMAP
The Davidoff shop on Madison Ave has a smoking room.

In the end, the smell of people, their clothes and hair fumigated with cigarette and cigar smoke is truly nauseating.
your organic cocoa butter smell is nauseating. i personally adore the smell of ciggies

I pity the folks that live upstairs or next door. Cigars smell like burning feces.
don’t quote me on this – but I think an establishment that has a license to sell tobacco in NYC is allowed to have a smoking lounge (think the nat sherman store in midtown)
I think what bloomberg’s ban also did is make it impossible for those types of establishments to obtain a liquor license.
I thought Bloomberg banned these establishments. Obviously I am wrong.

I don’t know why I clicked on this topic…I guess because it’s Fort Greene so I have to read everything Fort Greene.
I’m interested how the ban on smoking in the workplace which ultimately, I think I remember, was used to push smoking out of bars (so the employees did not have to work in a workplace filled with smoke)…I’m wondering how it works for these cigar bars.
I personally find cigar smoke/residue to be a little nauseating. I guess you have to be smoking a cigar to be oblivious to the smell.
The smoke itself does not bother me as much as that of cigarettes (burning paper, chemicals). I would imagine cigars are more natural.
In the end, the smell of people, their clothes and hair fumigated with cigarette and cigar smoke is truly nauseating. But I guess if you’re addicted that’s how it goes.
