Cigar Lounge Etiquette
A cigar lounge provides a dedicated space for cigar enthusiasts to gather and appreciate the art of cigar smoking. In a cigar lounge, you can immerse yourself in the ritual, surrounded by fellow cigar aficionados.
Some lounges allow patrons to bring personal cigars. If permitted, bring your own smokes but also buy from the lounge’s offerings, which supports their business. Some venues charge fees for bringing and cutting personal cigars.
Cigar lounge etiquette involves respecting others’ space and using proper etiquette when smoking. This includes lighting cigars properly and avoiding over-smoking. Use ashtrays for ashes and cigar butts. Don’t blow smoke at others.
Take time to savor the experience. Rushing through a cigar misses the purpose. Consider the cigars suitable for the time of day.
While socializing, don’t interrupt others or offer unsolicited advice. Be friendly and welcoming to newcomers. The lounge’s culture matters more than one’s identity.
Support the business by buying drinks even if you smoke your cigars. In a lounge with a bar, cigar sales might need to outweigh liquor sales.
Keep cigars away from your nostrils when nosing them to avoid bothering others. Keep discussions polite.
