Montana SB150 revises alcohol and tobacco laws by creating a cigar bar endorsement for all-beverages licensees. This endorsement allows the smoking of cigars in enclosed public places, exempting cigar bars from the general smoking prohibition. The bill also mandates that establishments with cigar bar endorsements must derive at least 10% of their annual gross income from cigar sales, maintain a humidor, and prohibit the sale or smoking of other tobacco products.
