When governments start to become obsessive with their restricitions, people tend to get innovative. Check out the article below courtesy of CigarCyclopedia.

“After winning the 2004 Stanley Cup before its home fans in the St. Petersburg Times Forum with a 2-1 win over Calgary in game seven, winger Stan Neckar remembered “half the team was standing outside having celebratory cigars and I was thinking, there has got to be a better way.”

Neckar, a now-retired 13-year NHL veteran and teammate Dave Andreychuk, a 22-year star winger in the league, joined together to create a solution, the Mobile Cigar Lounge.

Using a giant Airstream travel trailer as the base, Neckar and Andreychuk created a leather and glass, multi-compartment cigar lounge inside, complete with five flat-screen televisions (with satellite reception), a floor-to-ceiling humidor, parquet flooring, granite counters, a wine cellar, espresso bar, an advanced air-filtration system and room for up to 20 people at a time.

The Mobile Cigar Lounge is completely self-contained, coming with its own generators and supplies. “There’s nothing like it out there,” says Neckar. “The Mobile Cigar Lounge is a place where people can relax, enjoy good conversation, a great cigar and be pampered. Our guests are very appreciative.”

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the Mobile Cigar Lounge was launched in January and has been a hit at local events. They’ve already created a new way to tailgate at Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL games this season with packages that include 15 cigars, free beer and soft drinks, light snacks and “Cigarista” servers for $199 per person per game, or $229 if you’d like limousine service to and from the site (no tickets to the game are included with this).

It’s a unique concept and a way to enjoy cigars at any event without having to deal with local smoking bans. The company offers rentals from three hours to multiple days, so far just in the Tampa area, with more locations planned for the future.”
