Hi Nathan – Tony lives in El Paso, but welcome to Seattle, where smokers are treated like second class citizens. Fact is, the state of Washington has banned indoor smoking, and that includes tobacco shops and bars and lounges, so the only indoor places to smoke besides at home are cigar lounges on tribal land where the state has no jurisdiction, or private clubs. There is one public place in Snoqualmie (Lit Cigar Lounge) and a couple in the Tacoma area (Smokey Joe’s and Thunderbird Trading post), and Brown and Sons in Olympia has a members only lounge. The Vertigo Lounge in Seattle is a private invitation only club with a very limited membership.. In Seattle, even open areas like parks require you to be at least 25 feet away from other people and activity areas, and I think some parks don’t allow smoking at all. And of course, near businesses and offices, you must be at least 25 feet away from entrances and open windows. Cigar shops will occasionally have events where they will set up outside smoking areas, but they don’t happen very often. I myself am pretty much a stay at home smoker.

Good luck!
Jeff

In reply to Jeremy Hensley. Funny thing is, when I read reviews of cigars that feature Peruvian tobacco, everyone agrees that it brings something special to the table, but no can seem to agree on just what that is, lol. I sometimes get a dried fruit sweetness and/or those floral notes. Just goes to show how our palates and experiences can vary, I guess.

Hey, Jeff. Great review. For the price and uniqueness, I need to grab some of these to try. You mentioned that in your other sample you picked up a floral spice. The only cigar I can think of off the top of my head that utilized Peruvian tobacco is the CyB by JDN. I remember a unique floral quality to that cigar as well.

Again, that beer sounds tasty! Peruvian tobacco has really piqued my interest as of late. I have a few of these lying around so I’ll be sure to light one up and re-read this review. Thanks for the review man, they just keep getting better and better.
