I'd been to Tarazona a few times before it moved to buy coffee, but didn't know it was doing so well. Any of the students in the article LU students?

Tonight, college students dominate the half-full lounge. At one table, a group of three smoke rum and coke flavored tobacco over a game of chess. In the back, two friends watch Survivor Man on the flat screen TV and smoke cigars.

Tarazona floats around the room, checking on his customers, many of whom are also his friends.

This places an entirely new meaning in "sharing a hookah."

Tarazona is the owner of the business and one of my former students: I ran into him as I was leaving Schmookies, which is across the street from his store. The guy owns a business where he sells coffee & cigars--an interesting combination.

Its a coffee and cigar shop in Wyndhurst.
If you want coffee without the cigar smoke, The Muse right next door is great.

I don't smoke, but I've been to Tarazona several times. Friendly, laid-back atmosphere if you don't mind the smoke. One of my friends works/lives there.

You are not. His mom Kim has a full-time job, but helps out at the shop from time to time as well.

That is when they start smoking the other "tobacco". My sister knows these guys and I swear a couple of them always have red eyes. Must be from all of the tobacco shop. Oh, and coincidentally, they have a tab at Mt Frost. :)

I know who that is wearing the Red Sox hat, but he’s not on the board.

When I was in Doha they referred to the hookahs as Hubby Buddies. Everywhere you went to eat they smell of that sickening sweet tobacco lingered in the air. I have to admit seeing the fad grow in the U.S. has been puzzling to me.

I have never understood why people who think it's wrong to smoke cigarettes think it's ok to smoke stuff like this and cigars. Makes no sense to me.

Well some of the Soex smoked in a hookah doesnt have any tobacco or nicotine so essentially you're smoking a flavor

Cigs and cigars are completly different.....if you don't understand that than it makes sense to me why you can't understand.
