Matt, this is wonderful news. I'm one of your Patreon supporters and I am a musician and college professor living in Orange County, CA. I have a music student living in a Catholic community in Cincinnatti, so I have a plan...I can visit her and then come and visit you. I'll bring the whiskey (a few bottles for you) and I'll buy the cigars from Chesterton. You have led me back to the Catholic faith. I love your channel and your spirit. Blessings to you my brother.
Really? I quite like it. The pipes look like a flowing mustache or beard. I like the weight and length the pipes give to Chesterton’s piercing visage. Good proportions. I think a good blend of fun and serious. Keep it Matt!
I didn't know I needed a Cthulhu Chesterton, but there it is... I mean, I like it, and I think it looks super cool. It's just questionable, but I'm sure they thought of that in the making of it. I'd love to know what Chesterton would have thought of the association. They seem to have been contemporaries.
That ceiling is beautiful. Here in my city there is an old building downtown that was being renovated. When they tore down the drop ceiling on the main level there was a beautiful ornate plaster ceiling that they drilled into and covered up. I cannot imagine doing that to such a work. The new owner ended up hiring a craftsman out of Scotland or something that does Church work to redo the plaster work
Absolutely stunning ceiling, so happy your keeping it with the wood floor 👍🏻👌🏻 no screens sounds amazingggg, also i think dim lights would be nice too, easy on the eyes ❤️🇬🇧
I love your store , I live right across the river and you got a loyal customer in me . The Alec Bradley products are by far the best , I bought a filthy hooligan the other day . I will be back on Monday to buy the rest of them and start my membership. When you walk threw the door it's like going back in time . The coolest place in town !!!
Oh yeah that little sliver of WV extends up to Steubenville. I’m looking at a map of the area right now. I’m one of the those people who like to look at a map of a location when someone mentions it.
This looks great, if I'm ever in America I'll be sure to drop in. The logo makes me think Chesterton meets Davy Jones, which I think is really cool, take that how you will.
You had me at no screens. Also, please please please keep whatever music (live or otherwise) turned down so people can carry on conversations, in keeping with the whole social aspect of going out. No one is there for a concert - we just want some background music ambiance. With much love
I once took a guy to get his rent "money" down on fourth. We pulled up to a house and they through like 15lbs of weed in my car lol. Then they offered to pay me gas money in weed.
What’s the point of the 4 pipes? Looks kinda ridiculous like Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean with all the tentacles… If you have a good reason tho I guess haha… 🐙🦑
Logo HAS to change.. it should be cleaner, readable and classic... Like the old English PWA logo...timeless... Looks like Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean
Something that’s been on my heart lately, how do we help those that always use the Lord’s name in vain? I used it all the time, it’s built into peoples lexicon, any tips?
Cigars are ok, but nasal snuff and chew are way better! Imagine faithful Catholics listening to Chesterton while sniffing tobacco powder, chewing Red Man and spitting in the spitoon... Beautiful!
Outstanding!!! I have a theory (only half tongue in cheek) that one may trace the decline of the US and the West to the war on tobacco. I don't think it's a coincidence that Hitler (the teetolaling, vegan ascetic) was defeated by three dedicated smokers (Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin). Think of Chesterton, CS Lewis, etc. You're in good company!
Awesome idea!! But, honestly, I hate the logo. All that stuff spewing from his mouth makes him ugly and look like he's possessed. One of the typical things that happens to a person under demonic possession I've heard is that objects like nails, etc. come out of their mouths. I think the logo can be way better.
This is the pinnacle of gentrification. Congrats! Hope it goes well. Americans need more real-world 'third places' to hang out and be bored or relax and think/relate/process
Gentrification is a joke of a concept. A lot of poor people who own stuff in poorer areas are made super rich by gentrification. I've seen communities improved by social workers and when they are suddenly nicer areas, the owners of the properties charge higher rent and the poor people have to leave anyway. Not to mention the fact that by the world becoming richer in the last few decades, the world poverty has decreased by like 50% The measure of whether a society is ok are not by gentrification but rather percentage of poverty line as well as what a society does for it's most downtrodden and the state of it's most downtrodden, not the gap of wealth between the top and bottom, or whether places are improved and naturally more desirable and worth more... How stupid...
Why does this guy keep promoting drug usage. Should focus on Catholic related content. Don't understand the obsession in these "catholic gentleman" groups with cigars and looking/acting like they were born 50 years ago. Be healthy and take care of your body
Even though it's unfortunate that it's centered around an unhealthy hobby, at least it's a chance for Catholics to get together and maybe have a positive moral influence on each-other. A good end through a flawed means in my eyes.

That town where you are was Dean Martin's home town, where he was born I believe, be nice to know if his birthplace house is still there

🍾Congratulations!🥳 One thing though...the logo needs work. It looks like if GK and CTHULHU had a baby...😂(seriously, don't go with that logo)
Really? I quite like it. The pipes look like a flowing mustache or beard. I like the weight and length the pipes give to Chesterton’s piercing visage. Good proportions. I think a good blend of fun and serious. Keep it Matt!
It really does haha
I almost like it but not fully...
I didn't know I needed a Cthulhu Chesterton, but there it is... I mean, I like it, and I think it looks super cool. It's just questionable, but I'm sure they thought of that in the making of it.
I'd love to know what Chesterton would have thought of the association. They seem to have been contemporaries.
I say fix it. It looks like Chesterton with a squid in his mouth.
I’m moving to Cleveland in a couple days. I will be coming to this opening
That ceiling is beautiful. Here in my city there is an old building downtown that was being renovated.

The new owner ended up hiring a craftsman out of Scotland or something that does Church work to redo the plaster work
I think the issue with the logo is that the cigars / pipes look like snakes coming out of his mouth.
That's apparently a 10.5 hr drive for me but I definitely want to make, just to visit the store alone, from the description!
Shut the front door! Awesome!
Absolutely stunning ceiling, so happy your keeping it with the wood floor 👍🏻👌🏻 no screens sounds amazingggg, also i think dim lights would be nice too, easy on the eyes ❤️🇬🇧
“About time!” -My husband
Turn the tokens into membership keyrings. Really cool. We got one for a restaurant we love and it's really cool to have on a keyring.
Good luck with the business! Regarding the logo: It looks like some kind of cosmic, eldritch horror is emerging from Chesterton's mouth.
I love your store , I live right across the river and you got a loyal customer in me . The Alec Bradley products are by far the best , I bought a filthy hooligan the other day . I will be back on Monday to buy the rest of them and start my membership. When you walk threw the door it's like going back in time . The coolest place in town !!!
Very cool.
We will be coming up to visit from Columbus!
Cigars are a gateway drug to ponytails
I'm just north of Dayton and may have to pay a visit.
What’s a VCR?
Cigars with Aquinas!
Oh yeah that little sliver of WV extends up to Steubenville. I’m looking at a map of the area right now. I’m one of the those people who like to look at a map of a location when someone mentions it.
Get a decent selection of pipe tobacco available online I'll start ordering from y'all.
I don’t know that I will ever make it to Steubenville, but I will place an online order as soon as I’m able!
Looks like Medusa is trying to come out of Chesterton’s mouth
You bring the cigars, I’ll bring the Chesterton!
How did you raise your start-up capital? Asking for an entrepreneur friend
Probably TH-cam and his books bro
Building looks really good 👍🏻 I'm so jealous of Americans who'll be able to visit. Cheers and congratulations Matt.
Also just followed on IG.
Brilliance ❤ Good Luck 🍀
This looks great, if I'm ever in America I'll be sure to drop in. The logo makes me think Chesterton meets Davy Jones, which I think is really cool, take that how you will.
Very exciting!
You had me at no screens. Also, please please please keep whatever music (live or otherwise) turned down so people can carry on conversations, in keeping with the whole social aspect of going out. No one is there for a concert - we just want some background music ambiance. With much love
Holy smokes!
I'm in Texas but I'm flying over one day to see this in person!
This place better have a smart dress code
Hope it looks as good as puffin rooms in liverpool.
Looks amazing. I like the logo. Unique and memorable. To Davy Jones’ Locker with all the haters. Lol
Is this Cameron Bertuzzi in the background? Neat!
Congrats man! You should've named it Cigars with Aquinas though lol Cheers mate!
Pipes with Aquinas
This is fantastic! I love the logo too.
You’re going to revive it by making it more mellow? Brilliant!
Exciting enterprise. Congratulations!
That's so cool! Congratulations!
This looks awesome! I'll have to make a trip. But yeah...the logo is a bit terrifying. XD Poor GKC.
I'm thinking 7 pipes would have been enough!
I once took a guy to get his rent "money" down on fourth. We pulled up to a house and they through like 15lbs of weed in my car lol. Then they offered to pay me gas money in weed.
Dont like the logo. Does not reflect Chesterton at all.
This is so cool!
Great idea. Congratulations. Not crazy about the logo tho
Vape lounge?
I may have to check it out
I actually like the logo.
Upside down, or right side up?! Depends on who’s making the map! An Aussie might disagree that it’s upside down, haha.
Great idea, fully support you....Redo the logo it sucks
Awesome logo!
What’s the point of the 4 pipes? Looks kinda ridiculous like Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean with all the tentacles…
If you have a good reason tho I guess haha… 🐙🦑
Live readings of Orthodoxy sounds like something out of a dream
Very based.
Wonderful!
Best of luck with the lounge.
I can't say that your logo is attractive though.
You guys should have put Australia upside down
Cool
Bro why is the wooden Australia upside down? Isn’t that disrespectful?
Much based
I think the logo looks great, personally.
Why does Chesterton look like Cthulhu? LOL
Why does upside down Australia look like China?
Maybe it's the mirror version
premonition
Greetings from my Coke Hut!
I love the name, but not the multiple pipes in the logo.
Logo concept is cool, but maybe should be a bit more simple
I LOVE THE LOGO AND THE IDEA GUYS !!! BLESS YOU AND THE BEST OF LUCK WITH IT!!!
Logo HAS to change.. it should be cleaner, readable and classic... Like the old English PWA logo...timeless... Looks like Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean
I’ve never wanted to live in Ohio so much!
Based.
Are pipe smokers welcome?
But the real question is, are you also going to be selling good pipe tobacco :)
This is based.
Something that’s been on my heart lately, how do we help those that always use the Lord’s name in vain? I used it all the time, it’s built into peoples lexicon, any tips?
Cigars are ok, but nasal snuff and chew are way better! Imagine faithful Catholics listening to Chesterton while sniffing tobacco powder, chewing Red Man and spitting in the spitoon... Beautiful!
Logo is gross!
Bet Chesterton wouldn’t like it!
Why don’t you ask him?
Outstanding!!! I have a theory (only half tongue in cheek) that one may trace the decline of the US and the West to the war on tobacco. I don't think it's a coincidence that Hitler (the teetolaling, vegan ascetic) was defeated by three dedicated smokers (Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin). Think of Chesterton, CS Lewis, etc. You're in good company!
This logo is ugly, remember cthulhu...
Keep the Logo
Awesome idea!! But, honestly, I hate the logo. All that stuff spewing from his mouth makes him ugly and look like he's possessed. One of the typical things that happens to a person under demonic possession I've heard is that objects like nails, etc. come out of their mouths. I think the logo can be way better.
This is the pinnacle of gentrification.

Terrible logo, you can do better lol
A cancer lounge you mean.
Why does this guy keep promoting drug usage. Should focus on Catholic related content. Don't understand the obsession in these "catholic gentleman" groups with cigars and looking/acting like they were born 50 years ago. Be healthy and take care of your body
Shut up pls
I agree
It’s cool
Even though it's unfortunate that it's centered around an unhealthy hobby, at least it's a chance for Catholics to get together and maybe have a positive moral influence on each-other. A good end through a flawed means in my eyes.
It is perfectly licit in the eyes of Mother Church.
Wonderful plan. Awful logo.
Will be happy to not visit
