Early in 2012, a small group of BOTL (Brothers of the Leaf) recognized a continually more oppressive environment developing for cigar smokers. This group consists of small business owners, educated entrepreneurs, professionals of all ages, and in general, quality contributors to our community. This small group of friends started asking serious questions, cigar in hand, about how we can accomplish our goals legally without jeopardizing our respective businesses, and without adding pressure to our friends in the restaurant industry. We set out to create a legacy in our city that affords men and women the opportunity to continue enjoying fine cigars at our own behest. Cigars are social, and we needed neutral territory. Members include like minded adults that are respectful of each other and others’ belongings, abide by the law, and appreciate what our lounge has to offer. Our membership dues are not for anyone’s profit. The structure we have created is to promote and continue the global legacy of cigar connoisseurs and our fellowship here in Lubbock, Texas. Good folks from all over the cigar industry and BOTL from all over the world have stopped in for a stick. Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or just enjoy an occasional good smoke, we hope you will too! Cigars smokers are welcome here.
