Cigar Bar: classy or trashy

We will be having one! FH and I really enjoy a good cigar and so does my dad and several of our guests. We have a designated cigar area.

O&L: my uncle is very much into cigars so I was going to have him help me pick! I figured I'd have a variety of 4 of so!

I would love to do this! I think it's great!

I don't smoke (even sigars) but I think if it's right for you and your crowd it could be a nice touch!

LOL my FH would love this! Do it but make sure there is a designated place to do so.

I love these and wished I could have found a way to incorporate it in our reception. The only place we could have had it though was on the patio near the bar, and I didn't want folks to congregate out there instead of on the dance floor. I think it is a great idea though, if you don't mind it taking away from the inside entertainment!

FH and I talked about this when we were considering a venue with an outdoor fire pit...would have been fun for guests to smoke cigars by the fire.

Just make sure you have a space where people can smoke that is separate from the crowd...outdoors and away from where people will be able to smell it

It's not just a sensitivity to smoke, cigar smoke has a very distinctive smell and I think, as do many other people it has a repulsive smell. I don't mind regular cigarette smoke but cigar smoke gives me a raging headache and I imagine it does for others as all.

I was at a casino last week that allows smoking, it's actually a very nice resort casino and the industrial fans seem to take care of the smoke smell, however there were people there smoking cigars and it was just a hideous smell.

This is a know your crowd deal, if you have large amount of guests who smoke cigars I think it could work on the patio yet if you're not sure who'd enjoy a cigar I'd skip it.

We are planning to have one! Our venue has a beautifully re-done patio, so we will host it out there. My dad is actually the president of a local cigar club, so he can get some good deals on decent cigars. I think it adds a nice touch and something different to weddings.

Thank you all for the advice and input!! Lots of valid points to consider and talk to FH about!!!

I wouldn't want anyone having a cigar near my wedding dress. The smell is AWFUL.

@Gracie. Hi, I think it's a cool idea, especially how these men love cigars..lol I think as long as you are providing this outside, it should be nice. It's different, go for it!

@LynZLeigh, you are right about that! Yuk... but I think if she has this cigar bar outside, it should be cool..

Better idea than the WEED bar at a wedding someone attended on my Facebook!

I'm sure this varies widely by region, but I live in Silicon Valley and can't imagine essentially saying to my wedding guests, "Thanks for coming-- enjoy this and die young!"

@Y&F, nothing outside would be far enough from my dress and hair! But if OP has less of an aversion, it would look cute. Although, I have to say, it might annoy me as a guest too. I am disproportionately grumpy about cigar smoke.

While I don't find it necessarily "trashy" I really don't think it's classy either. I HATE the smell of smoke and would hate to be any where near that.

My only worry with this is even if it is far, what if it's a windy day? I wouldn't be into that.

I like the idea as long as guests smoke them outside

I have no issues with cigars, DH smokes them on special occasions and when we go on vacation. My grandfather also smoked cigars. I actually considered having a cigar bar at my wedding BUT rethought it after seeing a cigar bar at a friend's wedding -- guests spent so much of the reception outside, instead of dancing!! I really did NOT want that to happen at our wedding!
