They've got a smoking porch out back. Still, congratulations to four young guys livin' the dream in Burlington Ontario. Thanks for the link.

Yea, I'm not a huge fan of the wide angle lens photos either. The shop is much better looking in person. I think these photos are dated. Just last weekend, they opened a new expansion into a neighbouring store where they now have 4 barber chairs. They only do old school razor shaving and traditional barbering. The walls are covered in old cigar boxes. They have a dart board and old hockey arena seating in the waiting area.

You are correct. No smoking in the shop. Indoor smoking is completely against the law in Ontario (most of canada for that matter). Just another reason why it's hard to run a b&m here. I guess the government is afraid of hurting the feelings of other cigar smokers who walk into the shops and are exposed to second hand smoke. lol
