Went to a cigar dinner in NJ last nite at a nice country club with a good friend and my 3 brothers...had a nice prime rib dinner, good booze, great company and 9 decent sticks including La aroma de Cuba, la Aurora 107, RP edge among others...Weird part was trying to smoke...you couldn't smoke inside the dining room due to smoking ban...they had an outside covered patio with 3 mushroom heaters but with open sides on the patio and VERY COLD temps, you had to huddle underneath the heaters to be comfortable, tough to do with 3 heaters and 120 guests...not sure what the organizers were thinking....never been to a cigar dinner where I really couldn't smoke (or at least enjoy) a stick....good times in the end due to the company I was with....but weird...:-)

That is strange. It's like going to a gun range and ya can't shoot

Very strange indeed.

Thats pretty stupid you ask me!

They should have waited til the spring to do that if they knew you can't smoke indoors there... That or put up a tarp or visqueen around the patio to make it outdoors, but sheltered somewhat from the wind and cold. Thats how I do it on my patio. Works pretty good.

sounds like a strange night
[Reply]

Let me guess they didn't have food either? Or did you have to eat in the parking lot?

9 cigars for a dinner where you couldnt smoke inside. I smoke the average of 1-2 hours per cigar so that is almost a whole day affair. I would have been frozen. Sounds like some real poor planning. Maybe write an letter to the editor in the local paper about it. Was if for a charity?
[Reply]

this is quite strange... logistical issue I imagine.
[Reply]

a good night dampened by a dumb law. yuck.
[Reply]

That sucks, sounds like very poor planning on the organizers of the event.
[Reply]

Thats Karma for not calling me...:-):-):-):-):-)
[Reply]

Thats just odd. Maybe it was organized by a company based out of state who didn't know about the smoking ban? I can understand in the summer to have all thoes people outside smoking but not now.
