Backyard Cigar Lounge

HT Posts: 28 ✭✭

Does anyone already have backyard cigar lounge of their own? It can be anything from a 3-seasonal shed to a full-on luxury house with electrical, vents, cigar storage and cigar bar.

Currently, I'm just brainstorming my dream backyard cigar lounge to have at least a humidor cabinet, bar stand and seats, liquor rack, an active vent to pull the fumes out, at least two leather sofas, and a split AC/Heat for temperature. Hopefully, insulation as well. This build will require electrical permit, building permit, and probably a plumbing permit, might as well toss a crapper in there so you don't have to run to the house for anything. The building design to be wide octagonal (not sure why, but that popped in my mind). Almost like a cigar gentlemen's club, just the boys and whoever else smokes the cigars. That would be nice.

    My lanai is my cigar lounge. Heat is a gas fire pit which puts out minimal heat. Cooling, well its a fan. Jacuzzi and drinks fridge are a step away. Living in Florida extreme summer heat is my nemesis

    For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’

    Not as such but I have some plastic Adirondack chairs in the back yard, one under the metal patio cover to which I've hung some shade cloth, the sides with shower curtain rings so I can open and shut them, and I sit under a patio heater which I rarely use in the winter. When I have friends over we'll gather around the fire pit in the yard.

    I have an enclosed back porch with sliding windows all around. I can use it all four seasons with a propane heater. It's not a lounge, but it works for me (for another month, then I may be looking for an actual lounge).

    Sounds like you are looking for an insulated tool shed with electricity and water. Think about the issues of getting the toilet hooked onto septic or sewer. $$$. You could go less expensive and run an extension cord and forget about the water. Propane heater and tiny window ac depending on the season. Maybe start bare bones and add amenities as required. Limited permits required as it is just a tool shed.

    I’ve got a section of our carport inclosed with insulated blankets all around and a slight crack at the top on one side to vent, Cassi got me a propane heater for Christmas that I keep inside inside and use during the colder months, its a big enough space for a couch, recliner, a few side desks, a tv and a cooler to hold the beverages but i keep my cigars in the house. It works pretty great in the fall/spring/winter but it’s god awful hot in the summertime. From the outside it looks like something a crackhead would have built but I don’t care. We’re actually talking about adding on to our house and turning the front half of the carport into a salon for Cassi’s dog grooming business and the back half a smoke room so it may actually have running water, insulation, and ac at some point.

    Outside, year round, coat when it is cold, shade when it is hot.
    Too much to do to sit for an hour or two with a cigar, relight when necessary.

    Dreams are awesome. Money makes them a reality. Good luck. Progress photos appreciated.

    Ahhh yes….both of these hit me…

    I too set off on this journey years back. Going decently until the cost of running an adequate amount of power to run all the features I was trying to cram in to my 10’ x 20’ box.

    Best of luck with the build! This group was a big help to me in the process as well as with The Poison Apple 2.0 (I really should share that build in my old thread)

    Here’s the thread. Hope it can help lend some ideas that help.

    Yeah @peter4jc not all skeletons are created equally. Just like me and @Vision.

    Women in Tennessee call me Little John… but don’t let my name fool you. In real life, I’m really big.

    I thought HT meant Handy Talky, but now I'm suspecting it's more like Handy Tim. :D

    It's supposed to mean Guardian Angel from a different language, but I haven't been guardian anything at all for a long time. It was back in the teenage years I was able to stop bullies, and probably everyone else because I looked like I was capable of shooting up a whole school without ever doing it. But I also was capable to physically stop bullies, so there's that.

    I figured it out... Huevos de Toro. Right?
