I'm going to be in Manhattan this weekend and most of next week for work. It's my first multiday stayin New York City. I'd like to visit Club Macanudo as well as some of the other exempted cigar bars.
What's recommended?
Do any of them have dress codes and do they require you purchase cigars on site to meet the tobacco revenue threshold? Or do they charge clipping fees?
If I were to go, I'd never wear jeans and always have a button down shirt. I probably wouldn't do a sports jacket, that's not me.
Most places charge a bring your own fee, if they allow it at all. For example, Davidoff on Columbus won't allow outside smokes. I was just there over the weekend and their walk-in has a great selection. Picked up 2 1926 Maduro Torpedo's, a Tat J21 and a Davidoff Mill. Blend...

If you're in Times Square, Carnegie Club (56th and 7th) is closest. Business casual is fine (jeans prob OK as well). No clippping charge at the bar. In the lounge, you must buy a cigar.
Club Macanudo will not let you in if you are wearing jeans. It is not necessary, however, to be in a suit. Slacks and a nice buttoned shirt are fine. I have brought my own cigars (ISOM) to smoke with me there but have supported their alcohol license--never had a problem. This is the one place I almost always frequent when I visit NYC. I keep on meaning to frequent other places but have not gotten around to doing so and am quite content here.
