Am I missing something? How can there be a cigar dinner in a non-smoking town?

Patio seating?

Yep. I don't have the link handy, but Anderson addressed this when the previous dinner was posted.

Thanks, Robin. For a moment I was getting excited, then realized that I'm booked that evening. Drats.

We will be smoking on the deck, which does have a retractable awning. We have had a great time at previous events, you should un-book your night Roger. Or better yet bring your friends!

It's possible, though barely. Maybe. Perhaps ...
