A PLACE TO SMOKE!

San Francisco is not a town for smokers. I take that back. San Francisco is not a town for cigarette or cigar smokers. The social tobacco inhalers normally need to step out into the bitter SF cold (all things being relative - I don't even wear a coat in "wintertime") and puff curbside. It creates an interesting social sidewalk scene, and your clothes don't end up wreaking of smoke at the end of the night, but every now and then, an indoor smoke is a welcome thing...

The Occidental has come through for San Francisco. It's a Cigar "Club" for the young-at-heart but not the pink-of-lung. Great beer selection and they make an excellent dirty martini, which means I'll be going back. Thank you, Occidental... my fingers were getting a little frigid.
