While I expect there to be smoke in a cigar lounge, the air quality here has become completely intolerable when there's more than a few people inside. The smoke heavily lingers, making it difficult to breathe and causing your eyes burn. It's impossible to stay for any length of time. Leaving the doors open helps a little with airflow, but that's not an solution with the heat in FL. It is a shame to see a great place steadily decline due to poor facility maintenance. I know I am not the only regular who feels this way. Casa de Montecristo needs to invest in a modern ventilation system before more loyal customers leave for better-ventilated lounges in the city. If the goal is to keep customers coming back, the environment needs to be comfortable enough to actually stay and enjoy the experience.
