Just got back from a wonderful 3-day weekend in Santa Fe, NM. Most bars and virtually all restaurants do not allow cigars. Nevertheless, there is a veritible cigar oasis in Santa Fe--the centrally located Rio Chama Steakhouse. The convivial bar is ultra cigar-friendly and is packed with interesting locals and tourists alike. The restaurant is superb--prime rib is fantastic, you can enjoy a meal at one of the dining tables in the bar or eat in the non-smoking restaurant....great ambiance, great attitude, memorable experience..Rio Chama Steakhouse in Santa Fe is not to be missed..

Too many tourists in Santa Fe. Drive a couple hours north to Chama, NM & enjoy the old west.

...I don't know anyone who goes to Santa Fe to experience the "old west"...
