Duxnutz Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Where I live I usually smoke alone (huddled on the Lanai in my smoking tent) but I certainly enjoy a lounge and miss my weekly visits to Vegas. So. Where u live are the lounges open? Do you go? Prefer to isolate at Home? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connoisseur Kim Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 CC B&Ms in Korea are still opened as usual even during COVID-19 outbreak. I went to CC & Guinness cigar lounge Led Zeppelin (named after Led Zeppelin band LOL) and reviewed Kenfessions Comp Sampler Montecristo No. 1 on 10th of July. It had great Guinness Draught and audiophile gears, so I really enjoyed it so much! Next cigar lounge I'd like to visit is De La Mano, which is speakeasy single malt whisky & cigar lounge. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxeiler Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I’ve been to my local B&M recently. The lounge is closed in my area. But in addition, their walk in was bare (they had cited supply issues from COVID). Had never seen it in such a state. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StogieSteve23 Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 Stopped by my local shop last week and spoke with the guy I know working the store. He said they had never really closed due to COVID (unless by government restrictions) but merely had changed their hours and altered their business. They have added a cigar delivery service to the store which he said was doing very well. The shelves were stocked pretty much as well as I've seen with the exception of some things like Opus and higher end Padron, but everything else was there. They have a great outdoor lounge which wasn't open for some reason but rather the smaller indoor section with 6 large arm chairs was with 3 of the chairs not being available for seating due to spacing requirements. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I try to go to my local B&M at lest once a week. Masks are mandated for entry and into the humidor. But if you want to sit in the lounge and smoke, the plush chairs are 6 feet apart and of course you take off your mask and light up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eldude Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 The lounge I normally go to is open, but I haven't stopped by. I finished my deck this April and plan on sticking to smoking out there until it's unbearable. Then I'll buy a propane heater to run. I miss the friendly conversations and trying to pry secret fishing spots out of people, but right now it's not worth the risk. I am no spring chicken, but most of the guys I see at the lounge are 60+. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeyjojo Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Although It's not exactly local, so I only go a few days a year, I'm looking forward to JJ Fox opening their lounge again. It seems most cigar stores in London are open, but nowhere is open to smoke in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Presidente Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 Deck is open Friday afternoons. It is a poor man's lounge but a hell of a lot of fun 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not sure if they're open or not locally as I've not gone out much except for essential trips (groceries, libations, picking up packages at the drop, walking the dog) and that trip to the beach. Even before March I'd rarely go to a lounge or shop as they don't sell what I smoke around here. When traveling I'd pop in to one time to time, generally to leverage the wifi. Always bought something when I did. Every now and then, 2-3 times a year, meet up with a few friends at one with a bar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 My lounge is still closed down. I am stocked up on cigars, so no major need to buy items. Their cigar stock seems to have been hit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOHrty9er Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Many options usually here but all are closed. Recently returned from Miami. Little Havana was completely shut down, which was disappointing. There was one spot in South Beach open. Naturally it was absolutely packed, to the point that I would not consider going in. Came back Covid free ?. My buddies and I just rotate around our pads, keep it in the community. We all have families so within the community feels safe for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Diggamus Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I have been only once since Feb to meet a couple of coworkers to hand off some items last month. The lounge chairs were all spaced out apart, but I was the only one in the building wearing a mask in, out, and while I traveled to the bathroom so I don't plan to be back until COVID dies down. I have been smoking A LOT more of my cigars at home in the evenings and on the weekends. The Virtual Herf has been a cool lifeline to other smokers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where abouts in Korea? I’ve been going to Incheon a fair bit lately and usually spend a good couple days there. Haven’t really found anywhere to enjoy a cigar. Any tips?

LLC Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Was in a lot of cigar lounges in March while I was in Havana for a week. Nothing since; no lounges around me but lots of great places to smoke at home. Meet up with friends in a park on occasion for a cigar.

There are some cigar lounges allowing bringing your own CCs in Korea. I'd suggest you to visit BYOC cigar lounges in Seoul, since it's close to Incheon. Here's a work in progress map of BYOC cigar lounges in Korea. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1qxULOXOYvlg11i4bzymEJK3I5zcG4r2v&usp=sharing 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
