HB1215

South Dakota counties and municipalities can now issue licenses for cigar bars—counties can license one cigar bar outside city limits, while cities can license one cigar bar plus one additional one for every 25,000 residents. Cigar bars must meet specific requirements including having a humidor, being fully enclosed with solid walls and a door, and having proper ventilation to prevent smoke from escaping. These establishments can operate on the same premises as bars and restaurants, subject to the same public hearing and approval process used for other alcohol licenses.
