Smokefree D.C. says that the cigar lounge in the Chevy Chase Pavilion, on the DC side of Friendship Heights, has not gotten an official exemption from DC's smoking ban, DCist reports.
Is the new Civil Cigar Lounge in the recently renovated Chevy Chase Pavilion allowed to let its patrons smoke, even with Washington, DC's smoking ban? Not without an exemption, says Smokefree D.C., the group that advocated for the smoking ban that went into effect in DC in 2007. Last week, the organization wrote Mayor Vincent Gray and the DC City Council a letter "alleging that Civil and a number of other establishments in the city—primarily hookah bars—were violating the letter of the law," DCist reported. "According to the group, none of the establishments has been properly granted an exemption to the provisions of the law, despite possibly being eligible for one. As such, for every time someone takes in a breath of smoke at any of the …

Chevy Chase Pavilion's new cigar lounge is 'surprisingly diverse,' Eater DC reported.
Chevy Chase's new cigar lounge—the Civil Cigar Lounge, inside the recently remodeled Chevy Chase Pavilion—is up and running, and the clientele has turned out to be "surprisingly diverse," Eater DC reported. "On any given night, we're averaging 35 percent, 40 percent women," co-owner Matt Krimm told Eater DC, so it's a far cry from being a stodgy men's club, which might be more stereotypical for a cigar lounge. The 93-seat lounge opened on Jan. 14 and features a full bar serving top-shelf whiskies, scotches and unique cocktails, Chevy Chase Patch reported last month. The lounge has lengthy menus for cigars, wines, spirits and food. Edibles are prepared in the kitchen of neighboring restaurant Range, celebrity chef Bryan Voltaggio's latest …
