“For a stogie and conversation”, this BYO East Village cigar lounge provides a place to puff (no cigarettes allowed) in a “microscopic” setting usually filled with “regulars”; the roomier, separately owned Williamsburg outpost next door to Peter Luger’s vends cocktails along with “excellent handmade cigars”, though smoking’s permitted only outside.
