Today marks 5 years of our efforts to carry on the cigar bar tradition in Downtown Danbury.

We met with Mayor Mark at 11:30am on December 1, 2015.

When we sat down, Mark asked us what we wanted to talk about. Our answer was "253 Main Street."

Mark's immediate response was "I hope you want to put a cigar bar back in there!"

During that meeting we discussed the requirements and after reading THE STATUTE, Mark said we met the statute and urged us to purchase the building that was in foreclosure and get opened as soon as possible because this was just what Main Street needed.

Remember, Mark cut the ribbon at our Grand Reopening on August 25, 2018.... His Health Department revoked our Food Service License 6 days later with no notice, inspection, or order to correct. The statutes and regulations seem to require this.

Also in this meeting, we raised our concern that SEAN HEARTY would make an effort to prevent us from continuing as a cigar bar. The Mayor said that would not be a problem. We made sure that he repeated this reassurance and the meeting adjourned.

In fact, SEAN HEARTY DID MOVE TO BLOCK OUR EFFORTS. We have statements from other City employees that are consistent with the fact that Sean "rattled cages all up and down City Hall" to have our LEGAL CIGAR BAR EXEMPTION DENIED AT ALL COSTS.

Sean approached several departments including the Danbury Police Department. The local and state police have primary enforcement on indoor smoking as it is an infraction and only police can issue an infraction. The Danbury Police refused to intervene.

We also have statements from individuals that SEAN HEARTY has made statements about how "Kevin Paige will never have a cigar bar in that building" to both friends and officials from other towns in Connecticut. He has made these statements in both a professional and social setting.

While Sean was concentrating on eliminating our smoking, open Ho**ah smoking was happening at other city establishments and no action was taken against them. We obtained Health Department records for several years and found no enforcement like the closure we were subjected to.

The Mayor's refusal to talk or meet with us and failure to respond to multiple phone calls and emails speaks volumes to this issue.

We are calling on the Mayor, Common Council, CityCenter Board, other Danbury business owners, and others to step up and rectify this situation.

We are trying to bring an upscale clientele to CityCenter and rejuvenate our downtown. A cigar Bar is not for everyone, we recognize that. However, the fact that this exemption exists (we smoked openly for almost 4 months while Sean focused on closing us down) is something that any other downtown district in the state would salivate over. We were bringing in fresh faces and new money to our city and boosting business for other downtown establishments.

This has to stop.

Unlike many other cigar shops and small businesses in Connecticut, Butthead’s remained open from the onset of the pandemic.

We know it’s the mayor’s way to avoid any accountability!

Special July 4th Holiday event!

05/20/2020

Here's the warm fuzzy for today. We had 3 new customers yesterday who made the choice to SHOP LOCAL with us instead of making online purchases of ci**rs. All 3 found that our prices are fair and competitive and in some cases we were cheaper than their online experience!

Thank you to all who have supported us even though we are only open for grab and go shopping during this pandemic.

For over 20 years we have been your source for to***co in Danbury and the surrounding area!

Haven't experienced the famous Butthead's To***co? We invite you to shop with us and experience one of the largest to***co stores in the Nation!

God Bless!

There is no permit, Mayor! We would love to resume cigar smoking after businesses are allowed to open up. How about a promise that you won't show up on a Friday night of a holiday weekend and shut us down again? How about a meeting instead of social media?

03/30/2020

So on day 577 since our smoking was suspended we ask what all this really means. The circular arguments/excuses are getting really tiring. Can someone explain what this means? Are we supposed to just open? Where is this elusive permit we supposedly need? Why doesn't the city get the State to issue a position? Why? Why? And when were these meetings we supposedly had?

03/23/2020

State and local health keep pointing the finger until COVID makes them take responsibility....

03/07/2020

Who would have thought. Thank you City of Danbury! After decimating our business by suspending our cigar smoking, we might be the safest place from the coronavirus in Danbury!

03/06/2020

Thanks, Pam! No, the City will not meet with us or give any guidance as to where we should turn. They have not pointed to any statute or regulation that states we do not comply with CGS 19a-342.

03/02/2020

Day 549 of unanswered questions about our smoking suspension!

02/24/2020

Well, well. 5am activities February 23, 2020 at the bar located behind us. Sounds like the kind of downtown that will continue to stimulate our community! We simply want to operate a classy establishment and the City hit us with full force while turning a blind eye to others. Why is the City not suspending the entertainment licenses of these establishments? Asking for a friend....
