Tobacco Retailers in Beverly Hills

There are currently 28 establishments with active City-issued Tobacco and Electronic
Cigarette Retailer Permits. Three retailers appear to be cigar lounges. Two are grocery
stores, six are gas stations, eight are associated with hotels, and nine consist of
convenience stores or pharmacies. The three cigar lounges are that sell primarily
tobacco products or allow smoking include the Buena Vista Cigar Club, the Grand
Havana Room, and Nazareth’s Fine Cigars.

19 of the City’s existing tobacco retailers have held permits since 2010, when the City
adopted such requirements. One has held a permit one since 2011, two since 2012, four
since 2015, one since 2017, and one since 2018

We still have wet and dry counties in The South

Yea I know and I could never figure out why..........

I once drove from Michigan to Florida and finally had to stop driving after 16 straight hours and stop at a hotel in Georgia (I think) for the night.

I asked them if they had a bar and they said no, they were in a dry country but a couple miles down the road there was a party store that wasn't in a dry county.......That didn't make any sense then and it still doesn't.

It all depends on the voters of each county as to whether they will allow alcohol sales in their county or not.......................

Arnold Schwarzenkennedy’s cigar rooms are, of course, exempt.

But any amount of marijuana is peachy-keen. Go figure.

WOW - all illness/disease in Beverly Hills is caused by SMOKING? How about they do the same stats for drugs/alcohol/homosexuals/STD’s/prostitution etc.? Oh! those things don’t happen there? I see! Well, I really don’t but I’ll pretend I do just like they are pretending to do something!!!

The Whollyweirdites will advocate publicly, then buy black market contraband.
