    Our first 420 Suite

    Yes, we are doing it. We are launching our first 420 suite.  We are converting P2014S6 from a standard suite, to a 420 suite. What does that mean, it means the suite has a dedicated private area when guests can light up their favorite flowers.  So before we start doing so, we asked AI the following:

    What is the best setup for a smoke room? Like a room where people can smoke cigars, etc.

    and here is the answer

    To create the best setup for a smoke room (cigar lounge-style) — whether in a residential property or a corporate housing unit — you’ll want to combine comfort, ventilation, aesthetics, and compliance. Here’s a professional, practical guide:


    🔧 1. Ventilation & Air Filtration (Most Critical)

    • Industrial-Grade Ventilation: Install a dedicated exhaust system with intake and outflow fans to cycle the air. Use inline duct fans with HEPA and activated carbon filters.
    • Air Purifier: Add a high-CADR-rated HEPA + carbon air purifier like IQAir or RabbitAir.
    • Negative Pressure System: For enclosed rooms, use negative air pressure (like medical cigar bars) to keep smoke from leaking into other spaces.

    🛋️ 2. Furniture & Surfaces

    • Leather or Faux Leather: Choose smoke-resistant materials like leather sofas and vinyl recliners.
    • Avoid Fabric: Fabric absorbs odor and is hard to clean.
    • Solid Surfaces: Use stone, hardwood, or tile for flooring. Avoid carpets.

    🔥 3. Fire Safety

    • Smoke Detectors: Install heat-based detectors instead of ionization types to avoid false alarms.
    • Fire-Resistant Ashtrays: Provide weighted ceramic or metal ashtrays.
    • Extinguisher: Have a wall-mounted Class B fire extinguisher nearby.

    🌬️ 4. Room Layout

    • Seating Zones: Cluster seating around a center table or humidor.
    • Spacing: Allow 3–4 feet between seating to avoid dense smoke clouds.
    • Ceiling Height: Higher ceilings improve smoke dispersion.

    💡 5. Lighting & Ambiance

    • Dimmed Lighting: Use adjustable LEDs or soft Edison bulbs.
    • Accent Walls: Dark-painted walls or wood paneling enhances the cigar lounge aesthetic.
    • Scent Management: Use cedar wood or essential oil diffusers to counteract lingering odors.

    🧰 6. Extras & Upgrades

    • Humidor Cabinet: Keep cigars at ~70°F and 65–70% humidity.
    • Mini Bar / Drink Cart: Pair cigars with brandy, whiskey, or espresso.
    • Audio: Soft jazz, classical, or ambient audio system.

    ⚠️ 7. Compliance & House Rules

    • For short-term rental units like StayWithJay:
      • Smoking must only be permitted in designated units (with proper signage).
      • Disclose it clearly in your listing descriptions.
      • Comply with local smoke/fire codes and insurance requirements.
      • Have guests acknowledge rules during booking (especially for premium cigars).
