Thanks for pointing that out.
When you put in a location, we take the address and figure out the geo coordinates to place the marker on the map. If that procedure is confused about the address, the map point can show up in the wrong place (in this case, I think the #E might have tripped it up).
RebelJohn: I've got a friend who's going to grad school at Duke right now. I'm going to have to get down there one of these weekends to check it out, and hit up some of the cigar places down there!
I wish there was a better option where I live. Right now, various city councils are trying to ban smoking of anything on ANY public property which includes things like parks and sidewalks.
I seriously kid you not.
There is already a ban in all indoor spaces including private clubs, etc.
As it sits today I can smoke a cigar in my backyard and while out for a walk but soon expect that to be restricted again to only private propoerty.
Originally posted by Shrugged: Hi everyone!! I wanted to get some good feedback about a project that I've been working on.
I've been feeling the pain of having fewer and fewer places to have a cigar, even in Michigan (we don't have a formal smoking ban yet ).
A couple of times recently, I've walked into places that I've had cigars before, sat down, threw a ziplock bag of cigars on the table, and sat back to wait for my friends to arrive, only to be confronted by a waitress saying "oh ... we don't allow cigars anymore."
So I've decided to use what I know about the web to try to make it easier for people to find a place to enjoy a cigar, and I could use your help. At http://www.cigarplaces.com , you'll find an interactive map that I created that will let you easily search for a cigar-friendly spot. It will also allow you to add places that you know of that permit cigars.
This was created not only because I believe strongly in our rights to do something that we enjoy, but also because cigar lounges, cigar bars, and cigar-friendly restaurants are difficult to search for (because of the way search engines work, a search for "cigar lounge" on a site like Google Maps, will not return very extensive results).
Please check out the site and add any cigar-friendly places that you know of! If you have any suggestions (website features or otherwise), I'd love to hear them.
This is great! I recently added 2 cigar places that I have been to in Queens and there are both great cigar havens to escape to:
1) Habana Hut located in Bayside, Queens NYC and 2) Havana Dreams located in Rego Park, Queens, NYC.
Since I travel frequently, it's great to have a site to see what cigar places to go to in different cities and states across the U.S.

Outstanding mashup Shrugged--I second the earlier comment about searching by state or zip--that's the only thing right now keeping this site from being THE premier site of its kind (and maybe ripe for a buyout from a major manufacturer or magazine publisher?)LOL Good luck.
