Anyone have good or bad experiences with smoking lounges? [View all]

One of the local pipe and cigar shops has a smoking lounge. I've never used it before as I'm not really a customer of theirs as I buy almost all my pipe stuff online. The other day I bought a corncob pipe from them, so I decided to check it out. It looked to be kind of a neat place with nice amenities. As I suspected it had all cigar guys besides myself. I didn't really associate with anyone because I'm not a cigar guy. It did kind of look like a neat place to hang out.
