Good to know
Know the local rules
Indoor smoking is banned in most enclosed public spaces in the UK and much of the EU, so lounges rely on ventilated rooms and terraces. Check before you go.
Adults only
Cigar lounges admit guests aged 18 or over and may ask for ID.
Ask the staff
The best merchants will guide you to a cigar that suits your time and taste. Tell them how long you have.
Lockers
Regulars at several lounges keep personal lockers. Ask if you plan to return.
