Plans to install a cigar bar at PNC Park next season have some season ticket holders fuming because they say they'll be crowded out of a favorite haunt by the oncoming cloud.

 

Pirates management yesterday acknowledged that the Montecristo Club, a cigar and martini bar, "is definitely in the mix" for changes on the club level, where first-year season ticket holders paid $2,000 each for seat licenses.

 

"They're trying to do things that are nice, and have unique things at the stadium, like they do all over the country," said Joey DiSalvo, the Westmoreland County restaurateur who helped put together the deal between the Pirates and Altadis, the Florida-based cigar maker. Mr. DiSalvo, who operates an upscale restaurant in Latrobe, said he'll supply the cigars for the venture.

 

 

Pretty cool idea if you ask me.

Not if you paid $2,000 for seat, want to eat and can't stand the smell of one of those turds.

 

I cannot stand cigars. If I'm paying that kind of money I don't want to have my food ruined by that junk.

Sounds cool to me too. You dont go to cigar and martini bar to eat food. Sounds like this bar is only available to club members. Its not like its the only place to eat either for these people, they probably have suites. I bet they are changing it to cigar martini bar because no one ATE there in the first place.

I've been there and it is a full size resteraunt with buffets at four corners of the room.

 

The only thing I can think of is that it may be big enough to have a somking section walled off.

Cigar bar would be cool.

It will be a self-contained area with seating in sections 207-208. The club itself will have the smoking areas inside only and [smoke] will be filtered out of the building so as not to affect the surrounding seating areas in the ballpark."
