“Drape” Yourself in Cohiba

How much do you love the Cohiba? Much like George Costanza, who once said if it were socially acceptable, he’d “ensconce” himself in velvet, now you can ensconce yourself in all things Cohiba, that is, if you ever pass through Depew, New York. That’s where the nation’s very first Cohiba smoking lounge has just opened at Nice Ash Cigars right outside Buffalo.
“The 900-square-foot lounge features soft leather seating, Cohiba artwork, 40 cherry wood cigar lockers, a pool table, dart board, HDTV, wireless Internet access and a conference table. There are club membership fees, and the general public can attend during special events,” says Cigar Aficionado.
Who else might like to ensconce themselves in roomful of the aroma of Cohiba? Rapper Birdman, that’s who. Birdman, who’s a Cohiba fan, name-checks the brand in the song “Leather So Soft” with Lil’ Wayne. And “that’s a little known fact…“ as Cliff Clavin, another loveable sitcom character might say.
