Cruise ship cigar bar

[The Dutch]

Well, I was at a bar once and asked if I could smoke a cigar. The manager told me that it wasn't allowed. When I asked why, he told me because their ventilation system couldn't handle it. I then asked him if you could smoke cigarettes in there - to which he replied with a chipper "Sure".
I then asked for clarification - "You mean I can't smoke a cigar b/c your ventilation system can't handle it, but the 300 people in here can all be smoking cigarettes @ one time and your system can handle that? Man, you're giving this Petit Corona more credit than it deserves!!!" He just looked at me with a very very blank stare.

I was out with my best buddy (R.I.P. Tom) celebrating his birthday at an establishment we will call a purveyor of flesh. Him and I were having a Cohiba ISOM and one of entertainers kept coming by holding her nose and saying our cigars stink.

Now by the door when you come in is a sign that says "This is a smoking establishment and there is not a no-smoking section." AND they sell cigars at the bar.

We were not the only ones smoking cigars either. I was just about fed up with her and was about to go to the management. If I ever go back there again and treated that way I will complain.

The night of my bachelor party we were at another such establishment. They tried to give us a crappy table in the corner. We put a Cohiba in the floor managers shirt pocket and we were placed right up front at a good table. He put out the cigar he was smoking and fired it up, sent over drinks and girls to our table. That night a cigar was better than cash.
Just a visual, the floor manager is an older Italian guy. He looks like he should be on the Sopranos. Slicked back hair, short, pudgy, big gold watch, rings, gold chain.
