I laughed out loud when Maz said You puff of your fruity pebbles you may get knocked out

With "Do not judge anybody" comes another point: "don't feel or act as if you're beeing judged". I've seen guys smoke a 10 dollar cigar, drink a simple coffee and drive away with a 500k Ferrari afterwards. Smoke what you like, behave naturally, you're helping everybody else relaxing.

The advice I got from these kinds of videos helped me get over my lounge anxiety when I was a newbie, and I'm super thankful for that.

I'd relax and appreciate smoking a cigar in a lounge with the Anthony bros any day of the week

Wish i had a lounge closer than an hour away. Its awesome to just sit down and enjoy a relaxing time with people from all walks of life and talk like no one is better than anyone. The factory worker, lawyer, pro sports player, and fast food worker can all share an hour like its nothing, its always been mutual respect from my experience.

I started smoking cigars recently and I love watching your guys video. Thanks for the knowledge you guys are spreading.

Always buy a cigar from the cigar lounge to take home if you plan to smoke your own cigar there

I’d love to see you guys do a video where you talk about cigar lounge stories.

Having a Cigar myself and taking in this video made me feel like I was in the room with you gentlemen. Thanks for sharing your stories and I had a chuckle or two.

Storytelling at its finest! I always love hearing the experiences at local lounges and the humor that goes with them. Keep it going fellas, it’s good to listen while enjoying my favorite smoke. Thanks

Mazz is always a pro with those long ashes! A long and even ash is a fine testament to the quality of the cigar no doubt, and certainly a compliment to the maker, but I get so anxious that when he articulates with his hand gestures, its going to fall on his nice suit right on video. Thanks for the etiquette discussion, and keep showing us how its done, gentlemen

Biggest take away is " Read the Room " . When in Rome live as a Roman. I would trust you two guys advice on almost anything , well maybe except at the socks store 😅😅

Don’t have Cigar Lounges in BC, Canada, so I found this video fascinating.

Thank you guys for doing this. Went to my local cigar lounge for the first time last week. The experience and people were amazing

I support every lounge I have visited lately, but it’s actually more fun to watch it when you pull up in the tractor trailer

Another great video to help cigars become more accessible. On point, great work.

Found my favorite cigar channel

Always the best videos gentleman. Thanks for all the information you guys get out there in the world.

Oh man, I would love to hear you men go on in a vodcast format like this.

This is such a good conversation about something that men and women stress over. Very good rules to follow and smoke by.

Man I really love these videos. I live in VA, truly have a take a ride up to Philly one weekend. I purchase 95% of my cigars from Holt's so it would nice to see the shop in person.

Amazing video as always. Been on a watching marathon lately! Would love to see you guys compare flavour by cuts. Same cigar using 3 types of cuts (straight, punch, v-cut) and explain the different flavours. Always curious to know if there's an actually difference between cigar cuts (different exposure on heat).

Another great video guys! One piece of etiquette I’d add is that if you’re shopping don’t pick up a cigar that isn’t in cellophane and then put it up against your nose and then put it back. Nobody wants that. Buy it and then, when it’s yours, rub it up against your nostrils all you want. But not before. (By the way, I’m enjoying an Old Henry Pure Breed that I ordered off your site after watching your video on it. My local store is fantastic, but that’s one they just don’t carry)

You two crack me up! This video was great. Even at home on the back patio or neighbor's garage bar, I always give erveryone a hard time about putting cellophane in the ashtray! A major cigar pet peave of mine. Glad to hear it's really bad etiquette! I'll definitely pass it on to by cigar-smoking friends!

Great video guys! These videos never fail to entertain and inform!

Love this channel! Very beneficial when you are starting out to smoke cigars!

New to the channel and I been thinking about going to a lounge and this has helped cause I always think about people judging me for what I smoke

Man, I have made the rookie mistake of not respecting the Lounge by bringing my own stick, granted they did not have the la aroma de Cuba pasion that I packed, but I should have still contributed with a purchase. Mad respect for the Lounge, I returned, bought a stick and was not met with any hostility. It's incredible the service and love that you experience at a good Lounge. I know better now, and ofcourse I do better. Thanks for the video. Lesson learned....

It's really sad that there are leaf brothers/sisters out there that need videos like this. But that being said this was an excellent presentation of the do's and don'ts of etiquette. Once again Sir's you hit it out the park.... Thanks fellas.

"Fruity Pebbles Smoke"...😂😂

Using the lounge without supporting the shop! I got a BIG chuckle out of this because back in the days when my dad had markets--we HATED on the people who used our "facilities" without making a purchase. And that's why I don't--unless I'm a regular OR it's some mega corp store where the employees don't know to care. Toting your own sticks into the cigar lounge is like taking your own wine to the restaurant. It can be done, but isn't the best way.

Good Evening 😊 Awesome and informative video👏🏼 Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

Holts online store and service is the BEST (I’m in no way affiliated). Really outstanding service and quality. My only go to now- so my patio is now my lounge… (till winter). Kudos to you and your fine staff ! --Oh and great video as always :)

The Cigar Realm off 95, near Ashland VA, is a great "chill" spot after visiting sick relative. Some places in N VA outside DC charge $25 purchase min. for lounge...Wow!👏Wow!👏 Takin' shoes off😮Wow!!

When I was kid I used to hang out in holts with all the old guys. I loved that place. Real codgers who always had a cigar hanging out of their mouth. I used to hang out with Godfrey Tint before they had a lounge named after him. Now it’s all glitz and glamour. Not for me. But to each his own.

It's funny when you said "12 seats", when almost every cigar louge in my country is 2 steats maybe 4 😂

“Spreading Fruity Pebble smoke all over the room!” 😂

This was freaking hilarious!! Loved it 😂😂😂

Regular Guy talking about Martial Arts.🥋 In a cigar lounge. Random Dude walks in. “And I took that personally”💀

Bad form = getting banned. Solid advice as always gentlemen! I hope to visit again one day!

The phone thing should be etiquette everywhere in my view. I find phones (mini computers) the most anti social things these days.

Awesome video! Very insightful.

Another nice video as always! I second supporting your lounge! Do you take your own food going to a restaurant?

Great advice to anyone who has never been, or a good reminder for those frequent one. And yes, if you wouldn't do it at a guest's house, don't do it there. Shout-out to The Smoking Dog in Maple Shade or Mt. Holly. I caught the Wawa reference...😂

This video will help out many people specially Beginners. Appreciate you guys mentioning about "No need to lick the cigar cap" before cutting it, I see many people preaching to lick the cap, I find that unnecessary, just humidify the cigar correctly and all is good. Will also like to add if some people stop putting the cigar foot in the nostrils to smell it, I find it inappropriate to do in the lounge. Also avoid wearing strong cologne if possible.

Loved it, another thing that drives me crazy is when you have a single lady go in a lounge and the guys becomes morons and don’t let her enjoy her cigar. She is there for the same reason you are, to unwind relax and reboot before going back to reality. Not to get hit on or gawked at. Most of the time you lost that customer and it’s a shame.

I have been to many cigar lounges worldwide, and I agree with what you say. If I bring my own cigar, I will always buy a drink at least from the lounge. Support your local lounge.

bro’s lights about to be out at 5:22 😂

This video was very informative, thank you.

Great video guys ,love it!!!!

A Cigar lounge "manager" wouldn't let me bring my own cigars even though I bought cigars and accessories from them. There should be Lounge owner Etiquette as well, don't be a D to your customers.

Enjoyed the show. LOL! I need to visit your shop and I will when I get back east. Cheers!

Going to Vegas next week and I decided I'm going into a cigar lounge for the first time to have a cigar. Perfect timing for me with this video. I'm still nervous about it though lol.

Great training for the rookies or youngsters ETIQUETTE is important we are there to enjoy not babysit 🍍👍🏽🇺🇸🌴🤙🏽✌🏽💙💙

another splendid video, damn i enjoy em way 2 much :D almost forgot, is there any kind of dress code regarding cigar shop n lounge?? im tempted to visit one in a few days and i just wanted to know if i should like dress up a tiny bit to not look weird in there?

very good advise, thank you, and that's some funny sh*t lol thank you for sharing. Hopefully some day we can make it up there and have a stick with you fellas.

Thank you guys, great video. Question? What appliances do I need if I want to smoke cigars in my home for the smoke?

It's sad that in California, cigar lounges have pretty much disappeared

You didn't tell us the story about the hand sanitizer. I was waiting for that one

So if you are looking down at someone's "cheap cigar" while smoking a $20 plus stick, why not buy that person the cigar you were smoking to enjoy next? Not to put down the cigar they were smoking but being generous is a good thing and I think it helps to keep this wonderful world of cigars alive. They wont forget it and some day they might do the same. Also, I'm not saying all cheap cigars are trash by any means so don't take that the wrong way. Try and get the most enjoyment out of whatever cigar you're smoking.

First and foremost, I do enjoy your videos appreciate the content. I find your videos to be informative and in the true spirt of helping others fully enjoy their cigar experience . In regards to the content of this video I totally agree in patronizing the cigar lounge where you are going to enjoy the selection of cigars, atmosphere and the amenities of the lounge. What are your thoughts about the new trend in the cigar lounge where you can go in and purchase your cigars....but, if you want to enjoy the lounge, there is a monthly membership fee or even perhaps a daily fee. I have been experiencing this trend and have encountered membership fees to be $150 to $200 per month or $20 per visit. I hope I am not too off topic but I thought I would have others weigh in.

Haha great video. It's always interesting in center city that's for sure

My wife and I frequent many local lounges in our area. I smoke cigars and I always purchase a handful and smoke one along with a few cocktails each for us. My wife smokes cigarettes and she does while I smoke my cigar

Great vid, guys! 👏 Agree with you on everything except talking on the phone though) If you're being too loud - for sure, but if you're having conversation on the average volume level of the lounge - should be no problem 🙌 I personally like to cough off couple of questions while having a cigar 😂

I dont even put footbands or secondary bands or celloohane in my own ashtray at home.. let alone a public lounge. People need to recognize that cogar smoking is a fukk sensory experience and aesthetics matter.

I work at a large wine retailer with a walk in humidor and with my employee discount I just don’t buy cigars anywhere else. When I go to a cigar lounge I purchase a drink, but I always bring my own cigar. I’m fine with supporting my local cigar lounge by purchasing a drink, even if it’s just a cola. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Most of the cigar lounges near me are loud, with live music like a pianist and they feel like a bar. No one has ever questioned me bringing my own stick.

I always buy a cigar and a drink the cigar lounge I go to has a sign that says cigar smoking only

In my opinion if you buy a few cigars from the shop and order beverages sure you can smoke your own cigars

More cigar lounge stories, please!

Great stuff guys😄 loving that Fuente ashtray - I'd eat my cereal out of that!..or is that bad etiquette? Lol✌️

Hahah good stuff!😂🤣😅 you should do a longer video just with stories like that.

love that u Mentioned Wawa

Funny stories about the choking dude and cologne dude. Hilarious

I was on a cruse and a man forgot his cigars and container thing . I searched all over the ship but couldn't find him. It's 2 years later and I'm enjoying my first cigar , leather red

I'm new to the cigar world. I have tattoos and a long beard. What you guys are discussing sounds like common courtesy and common sense. Not everybody gets that. Good video. 👍

I have never had a desire to sit in a lounge . I would feel akward at the ones i know of .. you are aitting right next to (almost in) the retail area . I like to sit in my back deck or if the weather is bad then in my garage . Those always sound better than sitting in the lounge .

Working at a cigar lounge, we don't allow cigarettes or vapes. Also, we're cool if you bring your own cigars as long as you buy a stick or10 from us. But a good rule of thumb is you don't bring your own food to a restaurant, so don't bring your own cigar to a lounge.

Hey Maz,great video.Could you please make a video with facc about hilarious and unexpected moments in your cigar lounge?

Learned something new on your last point about tamping out your cigar. Man I've been doing that, mainly at home, for 20yrs. Had no idea how uncouth it was. Gonna train myself to stop doing it. Oh, another cigar lounge faux pas, which my newbie cigar smoker self was guilty of a few times. Please, please don't talk about how you smoked a Cuban once, have a "guy" who gets you Cubans, got one on a cruise, in Mexico, whatever. We really don't care, and really, really don't want to break your balls and tell you it was fake and probably a really sh*tty stick.

Hallo, really appreciate your advices. Wich cigar would you recomend for the first time smoking a cigar, the Davidoff signature 2000 or the Griffins no. 500?

question...... about blowing smoke, and waving the smoke out of my face, or directing my smoke...... when you are in a lounge, sitting around others, whats the best way to handle it?

Even though i bring sticks i want to smoke in a lounge i always buy at least 2 cigars there. Great tips in this video , the one thing i absolutely dont like and no one shoud do is talk on phones in the lounge...that is very rude to the other people who come to relax and enjoy their cigars , be considerate and step outside to talk...no one wants to listen to business or personal BS.

This is why I built my own lounge in my garage. Custom built bar, a pool table, seating for 15 to 20 ppl. I’ll support the local shops when I buy cigars but if people complain about the amount of space in their lounge I’d rather just buy cigars and smoke at home.

I like to smoke cigars from my humidor. I bring a cigar my collection to smoke at the loungr and I always buy a cigar or two and beverages from the lounge to show support.

When it comes to stuff in the ashtray, if it doesn’t burn and become ash hits the name, it shouldn’t be in there. I agree all the way around what you say.

Great Tips...When U Guys Comen to Houston?😎👍

Definitely buy a few cigars from the shop even though i bring my own

Love the videos because the guys are always dressed to the 9's...........I'm gunna get a killer sport coat and have a cigar with these guys.

The beat down 😂

Great content as always. Ok...I get the respect and support the lounge by buying a stick when you go. But, if I'm not blessed with a space to smoke at home, where do I smoke the cigars I buy online from Holts if I have to buy a cigar every time I go to a lounge? There has to be a blending of both right? Cigar lounge owners know that the online cigar business is huge right? Fortunately, I'm able to smoke outside/garage at home. I even invested in a "winter lounge" by getting a tent and heater during the Michigan winters. Yeah, I know I got it bad, judge all you want lol. I don't go to lounges that won't let me smoke my own. I've already spent enough bread on the 200 cigars that I have at home, and to be honest my cigars were probably considerably less than the in store price (the Padrons maybe not so much but I gotta have em lol). I will buy a cigar from the lounge but not every time. So, I smoke my own when I do go to a lounge. BUT...I'll buy a couple drinks or order some food while I'm there. I also tip the staff, even if I don't buy anything. I bring my own sticks, punch/cutter, torch and repair kit. So, the staff really doesn't have to worry about making sure I'm able to smoke my cigars by cutting them or lighting them. On the rare occasion I may have them top off my torch, but I usually do that at home too. I just want to know where do the lines begin to blur between lounge etiquette/respect and those of us who buy their own but really enjoy the atmosphere and comradery of a lounge.

Great Video 😂hillarious stories

Not having been to a lounge yet, would I expect cutters, lighters, glue to be provided? In other words can I walk in empty handed, buy a couple of sticks, and be good to go?

Hello Maz, I pay an annual fee for my cigar lounge. I do buy from the shop but I also buy feom holts. Is it bad form to bring my holt bought cigars since I pay a membership fee?

I would love it if you were a guest on the Are You Garbage? podcast. It's a great comedy pod done by a couple of good Philly comics, Kippy and Foley. I know it's a lomg shot, but I am crossing my fingers 🤞

So I have A question. Im going to Vegs in Aug and bought some Opus X from you guys and want to bring it to the Monte Cristo Cigar lounge at Caesear Palace is it ok to bring my own cigars into a lounge like that(very Public)? Thanks

right guy's socks are perfect, i also like wearing these kind of socks, I am a butcher, imagine a tall, bearded butcher with green avocado socks

Chicken bones, shoes off.. you must have some clientele at your store.

Ok to clip cap into ashtray along with used matches?

I don’t get why smoking a pipe isn’t acceptable in a cigar lounge ? I mean it’s pure tobacco .. essentially a loose cigar.

Had a guy walk in the local lounge and was talking with the owner about a new vape store and trying to promote it… then proceeds to take a giant rip on his vape… right before he exhales…. The lounge owner was like… you can’t vape in here it’s against our license… you better swallow. 😂
