While the rise changed the industry forever and revitalized the cigar business, there were also negatives involved. Cigar Lounge: A sanctuary where smoking cigars is welcome. More and more cigar stores are opening lounges to provide a place for their customers to smoke in comfort. Draw: The draw refers to the air that gets pulled through a lit cigar.

Escaparates: Cooling cabinets in which cigars are kept at the factory for a few weeks after they have been rolled
