Just started enjoying cigars and have yet to venture into any lounges, but when I do I will keep these rules in mind. The lounge is among the last havens for men to congregate.
It’s very hard to keep politics and religion out of the cigar lounge. Nowadays, these are great advice. I find myself having difficulty about this time, especially when the lounge owner brings this up with me sometimes
Great tips Sir. I would respectfully add that many cigar lounges are also safe spaces for women as well. My local lounge has a large and active group of women smokers who often frequent the lounge and they add to the ambiance of the space. Keep the awesome videos coming and stay smokey. 😤
Thank you for your advice, I own my lounge and have seen how the younger gentleman will watch the older men and women become better people and learn the art of conversation again, all the rules we learned in kindergarten about respect of others and sharing.
I appreciate the knowledge. I’ve never been to a lounge but will be going in a month or two when my homeboy comes back to visit from NY. I read a comment about these being life rules as well. Absolutely right. I was proud to know that I’ve been carrying myself well in certain spaces , but it’s times to branch out a bit more. Thank you
I am GLAD I came across your video. Iv'e been trying to explain this to these youngsters. They always thought I was talking out my ass. I will 100% pass this video to them. Again, Great Video!!!!
I've been smoking for over 2 years now - these are great tips. London had the best cigar lounges in Europe imo. Cigar people are fantastic. Rare to come across rude people, a little snobbery for sure though.
Great job. But I have to admit. Some of the best conversations I have with groups of men have been in great cigar lounges and politics have been a part of the conversations. Many times because the TVs are either on sports channels or CNN and many times the hot topics on the screen move to the patrons in the lounge. And when the whiskey begins to flow, the convos begin and are always cordial, respectful and many times, very insightful with men from different backgrounds. Great job again.
Great great content!!! You come to DFW travel to and from the airport, meals, cigars and whiskey are on me. I know multiple great cigar lounges where they know the rules.
The local cigar lounge where I live allows you to bring in your own sticks due to their limited selection. However, you must spend a minimum of $20 dollars during your stay. Luckily, they are also an excellent steakhouse and whisky bar, with no problems spending past the minimum while there. They offer a unique experience compared to other lounges in the area.
I’m an introvert and prefer to smoke cigars alone in my own garage and make my own rules than go to a cigar bar. After a long stressful day at work dealing with customers I don’t want to talk to anybody and want to be at peace smoking a cigar. One rule I’ll add though is do not smoke a cigarette or vape at a cigar lounge. Lol smoking a pipe is ok in my opinion and have seen pictures of people smoking a pipe at a cigar lounge along cigar smokers.
@@riseandgrind1911 Also most cigar bars are an hour or 2 away from me or I see them when I’m on vacation in another state. I don’t think it’s worth the drive when I can just light one up in the garage. Used to have one by me but he closed the lounge up many years ago now he’s just a cigar shop.
What I like to think he means is no “pop” politics. I consider these topics front and center like boycotts, war, hot policies. Where as topics like the embargo on Cuba or tax rates are much more tolerable conversations to have in such a setting.
Lounges tend to have them but its a great practice to bring your own. Especially considering that some people lick their cigar before using the lounge cutter. I'm releasing a video soon on what to expect in a cigar lounge.
I go with my own cigars. But will buy everything else that is there. Drinks especially or cigars if I don’t have have them. I buy cigars all the time I see something that I know I will enjoy eventually. Dues already putting up the place for us to enjoy, pay up bros that cigar lounges are already a rare commodity as is.
I'm the "fresh meat" at my local lounge and have earned my nickname (Mark the Dark maduro) amongst the regulars... in my short time on the lounge journey, I have found "women" are the worse offenders... especially the suburban "moms" who over compensate when trying to be heard by the men... it's laughable that it took 3 years of "Biden-nomics" for these gals to get "awoken". I fully understand and respect the passion but damn.... this ain't the Black Angus steakhouse peeepoooo 😂❤ thanks for the excellent content brotha and wish you many years of success
@@riseandgrind1911 They are so insecure, they have to always attack anything that we mn want to enjoy outside of their presence. I see so many of them in this comment section. Just laughable. They think them doing anything that we mn do as some kind of a feet and deserving of shoutouts or a round of plause when no one gives a crap. lol Just like Cuban cigar smokers that brag about it thinking anyone cares. Just don't give them even a minimal company and recognition and attention. That's why they do this.
With all this being said, not once did you say anything about women. Cigar lounges are NOT just for men and hasn't been for some time. So Frater I'm a little disappointed that you kept saying for men.
Why would you be worried about what another man is smoking??? Why would you care about how they cut their sticks?? If you do stuff like that, you need to stay at home. These are really good rules.
Other than being overly dramatic, it seems you have trouble incorporating the letter T in your vocabulary. It's not 'respec', it's respect. It's not 'correc', it's correct. These details are important when you are building credibility.
One of the things I do maybe wrong or right … I always tip the person helping me select my stick or sticks. They’re people too. I will ALWAYS tip them as they’re my “server” for that moment. Be Kind and respectful 😎👍🏻
You then would be considered a statistical minority! And that's okay! You still fit into this category, you are not being excluded. This isn't second grade recess. Not everything is sexist. Calm down.
Cigar smoking has a long and storied history, often associated with luxury, celebration, and relaxation. However, behind the allure and perceived sophistication, lies a habit that poses significant health risks. Despite the perception that cigars are less harmful than cigarettes, extensive research has shown that cigar smoking can lead to severe health consequences, both in the short term and the long term. First and foremost, cigar smoke contains numerous toxic substances that are harmful to the human body. While cigars may not be inhaled as deeply as cigarettes, the smoke still lingers in the mouth, throat, and lungs, exposing these tissues to toxins. Cigar smoke contains high levels of nicotine, the addictive substance found in tobacco, which can lead to dependency and subsequent difficulty in quitting. Additionally, cigar smoke contains carcinogens such as benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are known to increase the risk of various cancers, including lung, oral, and esophageal cancers.
As if any smoker does not know it it all lol And let me give you another medical fact based on FDA. Moderate use of cigar or 1 cigar a day has almost no adverse effect on health. But thanks for that old common sense. We all know it.
These aren't cigar lounge rules, these are life rules.
Thank you Jason, well said.
I could have said the same thing.
@@Jaydubwill1060 I personally don't drink and sometimes when I'm at a lounge people look down on me for that.
@@riseandgrind1911 Mate, pure truth, Bruv. All the very best.
For someone that has opened a lounge this year I 100% agree. This is your best video yet
Much appreciated. Please support this movement of positivity.
May I add one more rule?
Do not smoke cigarettes, or vapes in a cigar lounge.
Thanks Kyle, I hate the smell of cigarettes. Please be sure to enjoy some of my other content.

How about pipes?
Man you nailed this one...don’t brag, I love that, come across those types and they are not even legit smokers, they just want to brag. Dig the tips.

I’ve always wondered if you can bring in your own cigar “not buying anything from the lounge” and still come in and smoke?
Its allowed, some lounges charge a cutting fee, they simply want you to support their lounge in some way.
I dont know about the religion and politics, some of the best conversations Ive had have been ablut those topics at the cigar lounge
It can work, until it doesn't. Thanks for watching.

Cigar smoking has a long and storied history, often associated with luxury, celebration, and relaxation. However, behind the allure and perceived sophistication, lies a habit that poses significant health risks. Despite the perception that cigars are less harmful than cigarettes, extensive research has shown that cigar smoking can lead to severe health consequences, both in the short term and the long term.
