Its to enjoy a nice cigar and a cocktail so I am ok with them having an exemption to do so. then you are talking about a handful of bars that you can avoid if you don't want to go to a smoke filled bar.
But if a bar allows smoking, then you just don't go there, too, right? Same difference. Smoking is smoking. I guess if maybe everywhere that allowed smoking called themselves a Cigarette Bar people would be okay with it?

Honestly, I don't care either way and I am fine with smoking bans, but there really is no logical reason why cigars should get an exception, except snobbery. If smoking bans are health motivated, cigars should get no exception. Personally, I think there should be certain restrictions and designations if you want to allow smoking in order to help customers make educated decisions and to mitigate health risks in establishments where it is allowed, but I don't see how it makes any objective sense to legislate in what format the tobacco can be smoked.
