I live outside of Austin, unfortunantly Austin is not a smoker friendly city anymore, the few smoke shops are not that great, IMHO. South there is one in a coffe house that has a small smoking area, Show Me Your Ash, north there is Heros and Legacies, have to be a member to smoke in their lounge. I heard Fumee world opened a lounge up north but I have not been yet. There is a small shop downtown, cant remember the name, the couple times I have been in the guy was a prick, so I have not been back in years. Used to be Babalous on sixth, but it closed. If I want to smoke I go to Cool River Cafe for a good meal and a nice smokeing lounge that is grandfathered(for now). Its about time we had a central Texas herf....when are you gonna be in town?
