Humidor looks beautiful.

stevef2005 · 07-09-2015, 11:02 PM

When you get open Ill swing by one afternoon. Check it out in all its glory. Humidor looks amazing as well!!

Beta tested the cigar lounge, ventilation system seems to be working well.

Our very own BluGill assisting with the humidor assembly, I couldn't have done it without him. Mr. Grimes was assisting as well.

Thanks, wow the drama since I posted last. My contractor was supposed to be done July 10th...he might be done tomorrow.

Looking good.

Do you have a liquor license? What other service or offerings do you have beyond cigar sales and sitting area?

Phase One: a traditional cigar retailer. We'll sell you a cigar. Enjoy it sitting in a comfortable club chair or take it home. Our goal is Friday the 21st.

Phase Two: the Low Point Beer bar. More bar equipment arrives next week. After the plumber and city inspectors are done we'll sell you a 3.2 beverage or if you prefer a French press coffee. Time frame about 3 weeks max.

Phase Three: the full liquor bar. That is still a few months away. Let's not focus negative energy on a slow state bureaucracy. ;0)

mosesbotbol · 08-18-2015, 02:02 PM

So you are building out with phase three in mind? Sounds like you are going about it the right way. How far are you from OKC?

JohnRogers · 08-18-2015, 04:18 PM

Yes sir. 90 minutes north of OKC by car.

stevef2005 · 08-18-2015, 06:59 PM

Enid though is not a tiny town by any means.

I will be making the trip up sometime soon. Assuming that you are open, maybe the Thursday before labor day. I am taking some time off.

It would be great to see you. I'll keep you posted here on progress.

Been open three days now, tired but excited! I'm operating as a cigar retailer for now. The 3.2 beer bar opens soon, less than 3 weeks. Full liquor in a few months.

I couldn't have done it without fellow inmate BluGill

CigarNut · 08-30-2015, 07:29 PM

Very cool, John! Congratulations!
