in an Indian Casino? :0

There I was at a BlackJack table. Filthy cigarette smokers had me surrounded, choking the living crap out me and smelling the joint up like a trash can of burning junk mail. I couldn't take the abuse anymore and decided to freshen things up a bit. Weilding my weapon of choice... a tasty corona... :0 ... things started smelling a little better. :0 Promptly, 3 cigarette smokers (I prefer to call them Butt Rangers) dramatically left the table and the pit boss came to their rescue.

"Sorry sir, but we don't allow cigar smoking in the Casino, you'll have to take your cigar to the Lounge", he said.

"Fine then, why don't you cash me out.", I said abruptly.

I was $275 ahead and wasn't about to give them a chance to get any of it back. I left. Sure enjoyed that cigar! :0

Still friken torks my gork that 3 smoldering butts are preferred over a fine corona, especially in a Casino. Just ain't fair. :0

The casino that I go to allows it, but I generally play at the tables in the non-smoking area to avoid cigarette smoke and the tables tend to have lower minumum bets there.

Most of the people there I see smoking cigars seem to be smoking dog rockets. Don't you just love the smell of Dutch Masters in the morning?

at $275 up, it sounds like JUST the right time to light up a cigar and get run off.

In my casino, I tell people that cigar smoking isn't just allowed, it's encouraged. In the way distant past, they even fired a shift manager for asking a player to not light up. I met the guy who introduced me to Mantequillas while at work. One of the reasons why I'm not such an active trader and gifter on the BBS's is because of all the trading and gifting I do with my players and co-workers.

In France,
You have specific places to smoke. It's no smoking in the public places. (Casino including). Cigars or cigarettes

At the Indian Bingo Hall here in SC, you're surrounded by cigarette smokers, but God forbid you light up a cigar!

Now Vegas - that's another story!
