Renegade Cigar Company Grand Opening
Renegade Cigar Company, brought to you by the guys that made the OLD Habana Smoke Shoppe great, is having their grand opening Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. Food, libations, live music, and--oh yeah, premium cigars. Festivities will start 3:00ish, but there are usually a great many there well before that.
In Maywood Mart shopping center in the old bank building. They converted the vault into the room for the Zino Platinums. Most of the festivities will be inside Thursday night, 9/30, with most of the festivities outside Friday, 10/1--ribs, live music, etc. Their motto--"Enjoy life with a vengence." Be there or be square.

Long story. Let's just say, SUPREME stupidity by the majority owner was the least of their worries, but the final reason for it going under.

The old Habanas humidified the whole store. I think someone said 1,500 square ft. of retail space with over 1,000 in cigars.
Renegade has 4 glassed-in rooms plus the vault; all humidified. As much retail space as the old Habanas; about 4-5 times as much seating space; and a great deal of standing/"moving-around" space; infinitely more parking (it seems like); beer on tap for sale; and 2 bathrooms.

The old place had that sectional. I've seen as many as 7 on it.
Renegade has seating for about 25-35, give or take a fatass or 2 like me: 2 bistro stools (and table), 2 sectionals (about 5-7 apiece, if we all wear deodorant), 4 barstools, 2 4-person seating areas with tables, another cafe table set coming, and proposed outdoor bistro tables. And still more open-floor walking space than before. Come on up TBB. My son's band will be playing Fri. night.

Well last night saw about 30-40 people there at any one time. Food, beer, cigars, and friends.
TONIGHT?! Bar-B-Q; catfish; beer; friends; new friends; cigars; AND live music by THAT BITCH KNOWS KARATE--the most talked-about new band of the new millenium.........at least by me. Come have some fun.

Friday night had catfish, ribs, and chicken, live music, beer, and, of course, cigars, and about 75 people, if not 100.
Good party.
