As far as I understand, Singapore's liquor licensing laws don't allow serving alcohol in smoking premises, so cigar lounges now require you to go into a separate airport-style glass cubicle and/or outdoor area to smoke your cigars.
However, if you want something a little more Singaporean(*), head over to the aptly named Arab St and try any of a number of shisha (hookah) joints. No alcohol is served, but with a bubbly expertly loaded with Al-Fakher Double Apple and a pot of mint tea, you won't miss it.
(*) Originally Middle Eastern, of course, but rather eagerly adopted!
Shisha bars in Arab Street - Now banned. (since end last year).
