Very swanky, although cloth seats are an odd choice for a cigar lounge, right?

Burn holes or the smell retention?

I was thinking the latter, but just cleaning ash out of fabric has gotta be much tougher.

The smell that builds up over time is quite disagreeable and none of the nice lounges I’ve been to smell like an ashtray. Especially with all the ash that must accumulate on the fabric.

I would assume they regularly clean the place. Despite the peoples opinions, I can tell you from experience leather also retains the odours. The only advantage is avoiding burn marks. Anything’s that’s in a room you smoke in will smell like smoke.
