  1. The Adaptation of the British Cigar Bar Contemplating the state of the world over a cigar is a pastime that dates back longer than many of us will ever recall. Unfortunately, since 2007, it’s been difficult to find a cigar club in the UK. This is the year that saw smoking banned in all indoor buildings throughout the nation, with cigars outlawed alongside cigarettes. The good news is that there are ways around this legislation for cigar aficionados, ensuring that the legacy of the cigar clublives on. We’ll discuss how you can take advantage of these loopholes shortly. First, though, we’d like to address a simple question. What is, at the very least, what was a cigar bar? A cigar club could be considered a public house for cigar enthusiasts. While many of us gather with friends to set the world to rights over a pint or spirit of choice, cigar clubs allow the same behaviour while sampling a fine Cuban. Of course, most cigar bars also boasted an oversized humidor and a wide array of merchandise, offering consumers a variety of glorious cigars to purchase. Today, these sellers are still in operation, albeit outside of the confines of an indoor cigar club as smoking within the confines of the building is verboten. All is not lost, though, as a cigar seller can offer patrons the opportunity to try before they buy. This spirit of sampling is at the heart of 21st Century cigar bar culture in the UK. A cigar retailer is entitled to operate what is known as a cosy outside smoking area, or COSA, and invite patrons to test their wares within. As the name suggests, this will be a little more luxurious and elaborate than the small portable heater, gazebo, and ashtray that cigarette smokers are expected to contend with. To this end, COSAs are generally unsuitable for the smoking of a humble cigarette – these areas are assigned to the sampling of products only. You may be able to convince somebody that you’re trialling a Marlborough Light to decide if it works for you, but chances are your claims will fall on deaf ears.

  2. Cigars are, naturally, a different proposition. The only way to truly sample a cigar is to smoke the entire item, from start to finish. Once you’ve done so, you will need to compare the experience to another. After all, cigars come in many shapes and sizes. Ergo, the COSAs provided by a cigar vendor have become the closest analogue to a classic cigar club in modern Britain. Assuming you’re making purchases, you’ll be welcome to relax and smoke as many cigars as you wish with friends and associates. It’s probably no surprise that London is home to the widest selection of cigar bars in the UK, especially if you drift towards Mayfair and Chelsea. Cigar clubs and bars are located worldwide, though, so be sure to investigate your local area. Always keep one eye out while travelling or on holiday, especially as many nations have not banned indoor smoking. This means that you may be able to enjoy an old-fashioned cigar club experience. Whether home or away, you may be closer than you realise to a venue that hosts like-minded individuals – and fine cigar collections to admire and purchase.
