10 Things That Get You Kicked Out of a Cigar Lounge (Don't Be That Guy)

I invite you to explore The Cigar Trilogy for a deeper understanding of cigar culture: https://stantonhankins.com/ I spent three decades behind a tobacco counter in Louisville, and I’ve seen every kind of cigar lounge mistake—from speakerphone calls and stolen chairs to messy ashtrays, unwanted advice, and arguments over house rules. In this video, I break down the behaviors that can get you shown the door and what to do instead. I also explain the etiquette that keeps a lounge welcoming, why bringing your own cigars can cause problems, and how to avoid becoming the cigar snob nobody wants to sit beside.
