Bayview Ave was jumping with Cuban music and dancers Thursday night as Smokin’ Cigar staged its annual thank you party for customers. Once again this mini-street festival embraced stores on either side of the fine cigar emporium at 1540 Bayview. On the north and south respectively The Flower Nook and Sport Clips barber shop let the gathering spill onto their space. Ladies from Sport Clips, the stylish hair cutting place, offered cigar smokers a voucher for a free haircut. Sport Clips seems to have discovered a law of nature that a man’s hair must be cut by a woman. Who knew? As usual, Smokin’ Cigar owner Trae Zammit had arranged for an ice cream truck to park at the curb. Nothing like some ice cream with your Cohiba and nice for kids and parents going by who were not going to be lighting up a cigar this night. Altogether, a premium and fine-rolled evening of gentlemen enjoying their cigars. Thursday, August 28, 2014
