Busy at work

You will see much more frequent posts now.  Every day new things are happening at the store.

We all knew, and consistent feedback from everybody, was to make sure it isn't smoky inside.  A smoky lounge isn't comfortable to hang out in.  Our single biggest expense (except for the initial cigar order) is going to be the air handling system.  Every couple of minutes we are going to scrub the entire store of smokey air, clean it and return back fresh air.  We looked at a couple of companies but settled on a local company in Fremont Alton Air.  They have experience in venting cigar stores and are great to work with. 

Everyday we are stopping by and watching the progress.  Here is a picture of John taking a look at the ducts that are going to bring the fresh air back into the lounge.  We will also have a direct vent out with a turbo button.  So when we have events and stuff and things get a little smokey we can kick in the turbo mode.  One thing I realize now that the walls are up is that the lounge is a lot bigger in reality than I thought it would be.  I can't wait until the first cigar!
