Anyone have good or bad experiences with smoking lounges?

1. My wife works in a cigar lounge....

Now, the manager and many of the "regulars" are dyed-in-the-wool Republicans/Conservative. Lots of Viet-Nam vets, who have a deep seated hatred of the government and tend towards teabaggerism. At least, the "morning crew" anyway. In spite of this, two of my best friends (as well as a couple clam digging buddies) are regulars there.. they`re not quite as political as the deadbeat morning guys (who sit in there all day drinking free coffee and tip like the cheap-asses they are), and we kind of have an understanding that we just don`t talk politics... hang out playing cards, smoking our sticks and/or pipes watching hockey and planning our next beach foraging trips. So basically, you`ll probably find some good people in your local shop though you`ll likely have to "kiss a few frogs" as it were.
