I'm assuming that it wasn't prompted by a law? If it wasn't, they can always change back once they realize the revenue loss.

That was a damn nice establishment. Except for the blowhard guy who ran the humidor. No hat policy, OK, I can see that. But when a man has a hat and has to hold it while he tries to shop? Back off, dude. I'll take off the hat when I get to my table.
Either way, sorry to see this. A local cigar-friendly bar, here, called Winston's is going smoke-free inside. The local Tinder Box did most of their tastings and other events there. I gave then hell for it on Facebook. You hate to see people suffer, but I hope both places experience losses and have to reconsider.

And here it is:
https://www.facebook.com/DowningStPu...69895503035801 If you don't do Facebook, you may or may not be able to see it. If not, reading the discussion there might be worth signing up. Holy crap are the owners getting their asses handed to them!

You're not on Facebook, I guess.
Here's another one from a different site. Responses and reactions are pretty much the same.

I'd be organizing a bunch of the guys to stand on the sidewalk in front of the Memorial Hermann Breast Care Center and smoke their cigars there every Friday night. It might get a little publicity.
I also wouldn't be spending another dime in the pub. |

The owners are spinning this frantically, but they have to know that they're flushing the ONLY thing that differentiates them from thousands of other Houston bars down the toilet. I have fond memories of the place, but I won't be back. I predict they'll be out of business in a year, two tops.
