Sounds like my kind of place!
As for indoor smoking. I smoke at home, and am still deeply angry about the smoking ban on pubs etc. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. I'd have more sympathy with the 'be a gentleman' line, but it's become such a difficult and enpleasent experience to be a smoker anywhere apart from home (even at home for many), that I couldn't give a damn.
Tobacco is a sacred and medicinal plant. Smoking a cigar or untopped pipe tobacco isn’t nearly the same thing as smoking a western cigarette. I’ve spent a good deal of time in Southeast Asia, and I can report that cigarettes there are not nearly as adulterated as those in America. One can find many studies showing pipe smokers often outlive non-smokers…
One can find outdated studies, and I really don't believe that cigarettes are more or less "adulterated" in different parts of the world. There are some additives, like cocoa, but not more than every other pipe tobacco. This is so silly. You can't seriously believe that smoking will cause you to live for longer? That's called living in denial.
My pop smoked a pipe everywhere he could..... including restaurants..... he would often joke that the way to get the food out was for him to light his pipe....
I was 17 before I lived in a place without the pipe smoke smell (basic training), but he finally quit when his oncologist scared him bad enough.... he made it to 76, and did not die of anything related to smoking, I think he quit at about 73-74 years old....
I miss the smell of a pipe smoking house, but my wife and kids won't send for it, and I'm ok with that....
I cannot however -stand- the smell of cigarettes (or my clothes after a bar, or cigar night). Cigarettes stink with the fury of a thousand suns to me.

Unfortunately, discussions such as these get locked very quickly. Unless a moderator encourages me to a rebuttal , I must simply suggest we each do our own research.
I smoke indoors in my home office. It's on the second floor of the house, and I have air filtration which does 4.5 air changes per hour. In the summer I can open windows at each end of the house to allow fresh to pass through. There is very little residual smell in any season. My wife doesn't seem to notice any smell, and believe me, she'd say something if she did. When I sit outside to smoke a cigar, she tells me to go change my clothes when I come in the house.
In the summer I prefer to sit outdoors...

Interestingly If I have smoked numerous cigarettes or one cigar inside in my two piece flat ,the residual smell is more or less noticeable whereas after smoking pipe tobacco(excluding D Fired or Latakia blends)I don't notice any
