The Smoking Emporium & Lounge

The Smoking Emporium is as good as it gets.  Dennis, the gentleman who runs it, is top notch.  He's accomadating, friendly and very knowledgeable about his products.  

The location is convenient to get to either from Sunrise Highway or the Long Island Expressway.  Parking is never an issue.  The type of crowd frequenting the lounge is wonderful.  There haven't been any incidents or any bad seeds around.  Atmosphere is great - just people relaxing, hanging out, and having a good time.  The decor is not your typical cigar lounge, overbearing.  It's pleasant, and actually interesting.  Lots of pictures are hung on the walls and when you go, give them a look - some of them are interesting.  Restroom is small, but it is always spotless and there's usually never a wait.

There are a few high tables with stools, a small bar, and 2 big leather couches.  A flat screen HDTV is usually tuned in to a sports game, the news, or a good movie.  Free wireless internet is also a plus.  I frequent this lounge, so I am a bit biased, but I have been to several other local lounges, and I can honestly say that none of them can hold a candle to The Smoking Emporium.  Go check it out

This smoking room has a lot going for it.  It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but is easy enough to get to.   It has a nice help-yourself humidor case carrying a fine line (Drew Estate and CAO) with prices starting at inexpensive $4 -5.00 (admittedly, my cigar knowledge is limited).  There are several bar-height tables, a sit-down counter and nice leather kick-back and relax seating and a large scrren tv.  The decor is eccentric and not forced. . . more sophisticated than done-up with cheesy sports memorabelia.  The Smoking Emporium and Lounge has some nice wallpaper, curtains, and Johnny Walker Black.
