That sucks. I had hoped Mike would make it.

Wax figures I have not driven by the lounge myself yet but that seems to be the word on the street.

Re: Anybody from the Inland Empire CA

Yes, the lounge is G.O.N.E. They had three guys running it and I wasn't ever exactly sure who actually owned it. I think their names Mike, Milburne and Carl. A couple months ago M and M left (for some internal reason) and Carol took over. He even changed the sign to "Smithes Old World Cigar Lounge." It was usually empty during the day when I'd go by. Anyway, I didn't expect it to just disappear one day. I figured he'd try to sell it or something. I'm sure they were bleeding money. Rents in that center are very high-- plus overhead and expenses. You need to sell some serious cigars to compensate for all that. I feel really bad for them all. I hate to see someone lose their business and so quickly....

Total bummer. You would have thought he would have put it up for sale or something. I was like "poof" and then it was gone.....

Re: Anybody from the Inland Empire CA

The redlands crew is a crazy bunch I've now started part time/on call at the humidor, so I will be there a lot. Today I am going, and I'll be "working" tomorrow. Stop by anytime

I think he owns another one somewhere else, but I might be wrong. He might have just given this one up and took the remaining stock over to his other store???

Good to know that there are some locals around. Looking forward to meeting you all.
