"We look to fuss over you when you get on the bus," says City Smoke Mobile Cigar Lounge founder and owner Tony Anderson. Reserve the lounge, which got rolling St. Patrick's Day 2017, for a private party or hop on for one of their "City Smoke-sponsored runs," during which the bus cruises through, say, downtown Detroit. You may also catch them around at festivals and other events.

The blueberry-flavored Tatiana Groovy Blue is amongst the most popular cigars, and women, in particular, gravitate toward Fat Bottom Betty and the Nicaraguan-made Crazy Alice. If you've never smoked a cigar before, don't fret. A fully-stocked humidor and a knowledgeable cigar hostess are on board, and they offer cigar classes as a booking add-on. "We'll show you how to properly toast and light your cigar and how to smoke it without getting sick," Anderson says. "You puff a cigar as if you're sipping water out of a straw – nice and easy."
