Are there no good B&M/lounge locations in the Seattle area?
Just recently discovered the allure and enchanting experience of cigar smoking. I'm trying to branch out but there's only one shop in my area that has anything even closely resembling a legitimate selection of cigars. However, they don't have a lounge, so me and my friends have been smoking cigars in parks, getting eyeballed by the homeless. My local shop has about 25 or so options in a pretty small bookshelf style humidor, so I'd like to expand my horizons and, in particular, find a lounge where I can kick it with a glass of bourbon and spend an hour or two with some friends enjoying some fine smoke.
I just discovered this sub today, and have been reading up on the sidebar so as not to act a total noob, but I was completely bummed to find the nearest B&M shop to Seattle listed on the map was in Oregon...
Any Puget Sound area cigar smokers out there know of any good lounges? If memory serves, I've visited the Muckleshoot Casino, and they seemed to have a nice selection and lounge, but I was hoping for someplace a little closer to the city if possible.
Any suggestions on good shops, lounges, cigar recommendations at those shops or whatever would be killer. Thank you.
edit: Didn't realize this at the time but Seattle has a smoking ban in place that includes cigars being smoked indoors... We have a bunch of dirty hookah bars all over the place that somehow loophole this law, but apparently no legitimate indoor cigar smoking bars. Thanks for the advice regarding the cigar shops, though, I'll be hitting those up in the coming weeks.
