What would your dream smoke shop look like or have inside?

[Deleted User] · March 2013

It would have nice leather couches, great pictures on the walls, a section for pool tables and foosball, a nice bar area with some great booths, maybe a couple of noise isolated bowling lanes, a pond to do some fishing outside, and tons of great botls. The walkins would be well organized and attended by friendly, informative but not pushy staff. There would be areas for table games like cribbage, backgammon, and a separate section with T.V.'s for sporting events. A place where everyone knows your name!! If I win the lotto, it will become a reality.

Don't forget the brass pole for our entertainment.

Casa de monticeisto. It is the most amazing cigar shop/lounge I have ever seen. And they have pretty much every cigar known to man and a lot we don't know of.

Well it just so happens I am working on a hypothetical cigar lounge opening about half a mile from home. In hypothetical dollars I budgeted $1,000,000 to account for the renovation of the building stock decor and other essentials. Leather furniture is accounted for; as is a covered heated patio.

I'm guessing lots of ashtrays equals lots of women? I think I understand. Yep. Lots of ashtrays. Mine would offer two free top shelf adult beverages for every one cigar purchased and smoked on premises.

Excellent ventilation, a place separate from the TVs where silence is enforced (eg, a place to think, read, or get work done), free (speedy) wifi that you can game with, a grill out back, a patio outside with nice chairs.

Gray4lines · March 2013

Oh, and in-house cigar rollers that will roll up whatever you want! Theyd have a "menu" of binders, fillers, and wrappers and maybe recommended pairings.

Rhamlin · March 2013

Allstate I need is some nice chairs a tv and a place to tell my lies. But I must say Lames 40 and Cabinetmaker have it covered. They ought to go in as partners.

My favorite smoking place is always my Man Cave. Maybe it is not as fancy as a cigar lounge but it still part of my sweet home and I have everything I need there:

deejmemixx · March 2013

dang it man... your killing me with you pics... i just drooled on my dang keyboard again when I seen that glen 21.. i just cleaned it up from your aging posts.... stop it

Ken_Light · March 2013

Microbrews. Bourbon. Scotch. Steak. Burgers. Lots of TV's. Lots of comfortable seating. An inviting atmosphere to women as well as men.

macs-smokes · March 2013

Have to be aware of laws... in Ks smokes and liquor have weird laws... local laws dictate... (and this is my final project for my degree) lots of research going on currently as well as previously. I agree about making it inviting for all clientele. Outdoor patio with infared heaters and major wind breaks with covered portion needed too.

JSaint · April 2013

That is one thing Id hope would be legal in WI. But you all have given me a lot to think about! Very awesome.

xmacro · April 2013

Might also wanna get some beer brewing equipment. You can rent it out for guys to use extract kits with, get them into brewing.

JSaint · April 2013

Thinking about starting both a smoke shop and a brewery in the same area.

Really cool idea. Another for a combo situation, a saw a shop once that had a local oil change place come to the parking lot to do oil changes while the person relaxed in the lounge. Cross-marketing can be great!

Does anyone have any ideas on where I could get pricing for a walk in humidor for a store?? I have been searching all over on the web and have no idea who I would be able to contact.

well like i said before... I am doing a hypothetical cigar lounge for my degree... but I did the research rightish... I know what I want... just know I can't get investors to pony up the $$ for it... it will truly cost almost $1,000,000 to build, equip, and stock the way I want.

Outdoor BBQ area and large patio
Stripper pole
Tons of huge leather furniture
Lockers
A private lounge, where the pole is
Big screens
Espresso machines
coffee roaster
Kegerators
A donut store next door
A pool
Video Games-including Star Wars Tie fighter
House roller
Poker table, gambling area

I am sure I could keep going, but that's a start
