“There are cigar bars. This is the first cigarette-focused tobacco lounge we know about.”
Brian Stebbins
“This is our first step in connoisseurship for cigarettes. The lounge is all about introducing the brand. We looked at how connoisseurship started in other categories, like wine, coffee and chocolate. There's always a place for the full brand immersion experience.”
“We were working... with Frank Sinatra. He was in the main room, and we were in the lounge. It was a real thrill to meet and actually become friends with people like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. They were all working the Sands at that time... and Bill and I became... well, not close friends, but at least acquaintances where they knew us by name, and most of them just called us the righteous boys.”
Bobby Hatfield
“I went back to my lounge chair. Alone.”
William Goldman
“I saw nothing unusual in the teacher's lounge”
Nancy Cartwright
“The Polo Lounge is like a fine old mink coat: opulent, dignified and warm.”
Bryan Miller
“If they don't board and live by themselves, even in their second year they've got no lounge or kitchen table and it's a pretty lonely existence when you get home to an empty house. Homesickness is a key issue for kids who are drafted interstate, whether they are going to Melbourne or coming to Perth or going to Brisbane. All the kids we've drafted this year will all go through periods of homesickness, which can lead to worse things.”
