Cigar Smoking in Canberra

I doubt there would be any cigar lounges now that we have the new smoking laws. But if anyone does know of any I’d like to know

in tasmania many small town pubs are suffereing, as groups of friends have moved to their own garages and set them up for smoking/drinking/pool etc.

i can see that happening here.

I enjoy cigars. I would like to occasionally enjoy a cigar in a venue dedicated to smoking, like the Hyatt’s (now former, it seems) smoking lounge.

However, I support the ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces because it poses a hazard to employee health and and is just bloody rude to people who’d rather not smoke. I admit, however, that I never considered it’d mean an end to lighting up a corona to enjoy with a rum. I probably only did this once a year, so maybe that’s why. I don’t think it’d be the same sitting outside.

Perhaps the answer is a smoking lounge with some kind of self-dispensing humidor. Or robot waitresses. Sexy robot waitresses.

Exactly Maelinar I just bought myself 4 cohiba’s couple of weeks in Singapore ill have one soon when I get back to aussie with a bottle Cognac.

Lets not confuse cigar smoking with cigarette smoking.

I’m talking Churchills here, with Cognac and hunting dogs, not some rancid 5 min fling with lung candy.

You smokers are kidding yourselves! Cigarettes are 10 times worse than diesel car exhaust (which is the worst).

Check out the following New Scientist article.

I’ll take the roadside cafe (even with learner drivers on the road in diesel trucks) over second hand smoke any day of the week.

“Ventilation systems covered the problem anyway.”

LMAO! On what planet is this bar with the magical ventilation system you’re talking about???

If workers do not wish to be befouled by smoke, they probably should choose a profession that doesn’t place them in a bar. If someone didn’t realise that being a barman would put them in a smokey environment, lung cancer is the least of their problems. The ban was an authoritarian move, the supposed ‘OH & S issue’ was just the cover.

Ventilation systems covered the problem anyway.

They’re more carcenogenic than cigarettes

Are you really a teacher?

The Hyatt humidor is no more. The management in their wisdom has dismantled it due to the smoking laws. Bit of a shame really I was staying there a couple of months ago and wanted to buy a couple of Cubans for a mate thats when i found out it was gone. The room is still there just the humidor is gone.
