I miss that Louisville passed an exemption for cigar bars in 2025. It was tired of losing business to places in Indiana. A bill in the KY legislature to legalize them faces a rocky road. If passed, it will preempt local prohibitions on cigar bars.
The rule in Louisville that passed in March 2025 requires establishments to not sell to those under 21, have a valid liquor license, and 15% of their annual gross income comes from the on-site sale of tobacco products.
