Our six hand-picked aficionados share a fine meal and swap the finer points of lighting up with style. The guys are well turned-out in dark suits. To take the pulse of this pricey and hedonistic trend, I've invited eight seasoned, savory smokers to Patroon for a nutritionally incorrect dinner of meat, alcohol, and tobacco. Inasmuch as the house cigars are proffered and lit by the Keeper of the Humidor Room, Christina Lahara, most of us accept one of her Canaria D'Oros, a Dominican Rep. maduro whose dark wrapper belies a sweet and mild smoke. I ask the group.
