How have Cigar smokers been affected by the UK smoking ban?

[Robusto]

Yup, Olls.
Restraint married to humour-as-escape is essential against the squits of stupidity all arouind us. It's all too depressing to contemplate.

Hello guys,

The comparison with the Uk here in Ireland is part and parcel of everyday life as smokers tend to be just getting on with it. We are in major meltdown though in the Irish Republic. I was born in the Donegal area myself. The Taoiseach aka Mr Cowan along with the finance minister Mr Lenihan are about to unveil a mini budget at the end of this month. Hence the old reliables are bound to get an increase of some sort or another.

The situation in the North a la Stormont is concerned with putting cigarettes under the counter, out of the reach of teenagers. Effectively a display issue, I am not sure how this will affect the cigar trade.
