They were located near the Corner Cigar Bar and had the same owners, I think. But the phone number for the Corner is disconected. Is it still open? Does Nectars still allow cigars? Have not visited.

It did not meet the 10% sales threshold. Bummer if you were a locker member. The Sequoia cigar room at the Redwood Lodge in Flint has lost its cigar bar exemption.

Have you been there recently? Do they serve food/drink as a cigar bar? Or is it just a smoking room? http://www.gotrocksultralounge.com/ Chris, did you see that Got Rocks ulta lounge — or at least a part of it — at the Big Rock Chophouse has become a Diamond Crown cigar lounge?

I thought I read they went non-smoking a couple years ago? Did they ever have humidor rentals? All I recall was a stand-alone humdidor with about a dozen boxes near the entrance. If they are not allowing smoking now, they have no intention of applying for an exemption. It’s been years since I visited. I thought I read they went non-smoking a couple years ago?

Perhaps we should all stop by and ask the owner to get creative with his bookkeeping to gain an exemption? Amazingly, 336 Main in Plymouth is NOT exempt.

The same people own the Corner Cigar Bar. Nectar's has a sign in its window that says "Cigar bar" so it appears they are exempt as well. You might want to add that to the list. I didn't go in there. It will be intesting to see if 2 cigar bars can survive. Nectar’s Wine Bar, in a strip mall that shares the parking lot, is at 4135 Orchard Lake Road.
