Cigar aficionados will soon have a new place to buy and smoke cigars. A vacant building along Michigan Avenue will soon be the home of a new cigar bar called Cigaro Lounge.

Ashraf Abbas is working on a plan to transform the small vacant building at 22037 Michigan Ave., the former site of the Hob Nob Gallery, into a cigar bar, which would be located next to the Double Olive martini bar and the closed La Shish restaurant.

The planned cigar bar would serve coffee, tea, sodas some desserts but there are no plans at this time to serve alcohol at this location. There also would be an outdoor patio lounge, similar to the one currently operated by the Double Olive.

The 1,500 square foot building is expected to offer comfortable seating inside for cigar and hookah fans, along with music and television sets.
