While traveling for work, I stopped into a local cigar lounge and purchased a tin of an English blend (can't remember what it was). I sat down to have a bowl, and the proprietor said, 'You can't smoke pipe tobacco in here.' I was thinking, 'Well, why the heck did you sell it to me?' So, I exchanged it for a cigar that I didn't enjoy as much as I should have (partly due to the experience). Looking back, I should have just taken my tin and found a spot in that town to enjoy it by myself.

Nice talk. I'm a pipe and cigar smoker, and I've never encountered a cigar lounge where there were pipe smokers also. On the other hand it would never bother me in the least if a pipe smoker smoked in the cigar lounge. I suspect it may have to do with the fact that the owner wants to encourage the smoking of his preferred thing. I'm enjoying, BTW, a Sav. Arcobaleno and would love to try a first Peterson. I've gotten nicotine poisoning from a cigar, but that was because I puffed too frequently and the ventilation in the room was poor. As soon as I get that feeling, I slow down or stop. Then I'm OK.

Ok, this is cool. Here I am just going through KZread, and I see Skip and The Briary pop up. Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise. I was born and raised in Homewood, graduated Homewood High in 1992. I’ve known Skip since the mid 90’s. Back then they were still at the old Brookwood Mall off of Lakeshore Dr. I now live in West Virginia. A friend I went to high school with, Eric, worked at The Briary for many, many years. I spent a lot of time in there back in the day. So cool to see this pop up this morning. Thanks for making my day! Cheers!

Excellent video! I have been smoking pipes off and on, since age nine. I'm 65 now! I have several pipes that my father and grandfather (the man who started my pipe smoking journey at nine!) gave me, as well as a few accessories. Over the years I have sadly lost a number of old pipe accouterments, dating pre -World War Two. A lot of wonderful old pipe shops have come and gone since my intro to pipe smoking! I'm happy you have a fine one near by. Please enjoy a flavorful, relaxing bowl for me! With fine reflections.

As a cigar smoker it sounds like that’s more of an issue with those proprietors than it is with cigar smokers in general. The only thing I understand is if you’re not a member per se and a guest that the etiquette would be a purchase of some sort to enjoy the lounge.
