Ah, those long ago days in Seattle, when for a couple of weeks I took up smoking, hanging out with the beautiful people in cigar bars, luxuriously whiling the evening away with a fine cigar and a single malt Scotch…my smoking phase was brief to be sure, but for those that do smoke, here is an interesting little development...
With the demise of locations to smoke, including most the outdoors, Chicago announced the opening of the Marshall McGearty Tobacco Lounge, a tobacco retail store also selling alcoholic drinks, cheese plates and espresso drinks and one of the few places in the city where you can sit and read the newspaper and smoke.
"This is about a select, super premium brand of cigarettes, just like what we've seen with the super premium tier of beer, wine, chocolate and pastries. It's about elegance and having fun. No one is going to stop smoking because of a ban, but maybe people can start treating cigarettes like this more like alcohol - the kind of thing you savor."
