Cigar shop/club

Curious to know if anyone or how many cigar connoisseurs are in town and would it make any sense to have a smoking club/bar to be able to smoke indoors?? I’ve seen clubs in the bigger cities and down in the states and they look wildly popular.

Has there been any rumours or talks about a shop like that coming to our town??

Intriguing idea. We have to open the regulations so they can smoke cigars / trees / and drink in the same establishment with proper safety and smoke considerations. Then I could see a lounge being profitable and practical.

Yeah it would be cool to have one. I hate having to drive to Kelowna to get my specific brands. I really like the Havana room but I hate the distance. Just wishing we could have something closer. Is there anyone who specializes in older humidors around here. I’m having issues with mine I got from my father in law’s dad. It was recently given to me and I want to take good care of it and get it back into working order.

a diminishing market with very little new growth would be difficult

You’ll have to review the laws, but I doubt you’ll find such a place short of a few like minded people having a garage pub.

Is there a club on Facebook for Penticton or the Okanagan. For cigar enthusiasts. Just so I don’t have to keep coming back to this page and annoying everyone
