blech! cigarette smoke is gross! lol! You took the smell and associated it with a fun, leisurely activity in a unique place, though, and that’s what makes it work.

eww, cigarettes. EK! Cigarette smoke makes me cough, I have heard of people liking that smell or tolarating it. I like the way you made it in to people watching thing.
LoA

WOOHOOO CigarrettE STINK ! I am a smoker, I hate that old cigarette but I love that somebody loves it. I am VERY familiar with that particular BAR smell…stale smoke and sweat, other people ,liquor oh yeah , I know it well….Ah bar sweat! I love this …I’ve never been to BAltimore, But I am sort of obsessed with John Waters AND Ace of Cakes, so I would probably like it. This was just wonderful, gave me a full on sensory flash back to waking up in clothes with that bar/sweatsmoke smell imbeded in them….
