"A cigar is as good as memories that you have when you smoked it." ~ Raul Julia

While stretching the weekend with the Ya-Ya's...

we took a stroll down 19th Street...

in the Heights.

There is such an entertaining mix

of eclectic shops, restaurants...

and even a bar

that advertises itself as...

"Your den away from home".

Our curiosity got the best of us...

so we ventured in to check it out.

Instead of a smoke filled room, the leather recliners were filled with men enjoying the football game on the flat screen...

 and a nice cigar chosen from the vault...

without any concerned family members nagging...

or requesting them to go outside.

It is the ultimate

"Man Cave"...

except when asked...

we were assured that women are welcome.

 They are even looking for a few women to round out their Wednesday night poker nights.

 Sitting next to the den area...

is a festively lit Christmas tree... 

which only adds to the warm feel of home.

Now...

before you get all judgemental and all...

I am not suggesting that you hang out here

every night and chain smoke multiple cigars...

remember what happened to Kramer?

That is the best disclaimer ever!

Meanwhile...

what I find endearing about the Heights Cigar Lounge

is the opportunity for guys to just hang out and be guys.

So...

if you have a man in your life that is constantly saying...

"I just want to sit in my easy chair with a good cigar and watch the ball game.  Is that too much to ask?"

Send him on over to "Your den away from home"

while you go shopping.

Happy Wednesday!
