SALUTE! is smokin’.

It started earlier this year.
Bad habit, yes, but the 90s
call fora little flash and spark.
Some sophisticated smolder-
ing.

Pand because it’s Salute!,
it’s nothing bur the best:
Cubans, primarily; a
Honduran; a Mexican; and
assorted hand-rolled characters
from around the Caribbean.

They frequent the new
Salute! humidorium — an inti-
mate new room dedicated to
savoring cigars, ciaro, che-
roots, colorados, Cohibas,
Monte Cristos and Oliveros. It
seats anywhere from a quartet
up to perhaps 12. A modern
ventilation system allows the
savoring of said weed without
its byproduct overwhelming
dinner guests elsewhere in the
room or elsewhere in this fine
West Vancouver restaurant.

But diners need net be
cheroot fans to secure the
Salute! humidorium. The
room makes for a tidy private
addendum to the main Salute!
dining room for those who
prefer a truly peaceful dining
experience.

For the rest of us, Salute!
