Smokers find haven at shop
Cigar store is place to buy and light up
By Liz Musser
Kansan staff writer
Smoking on the premises strongly encouraged.
The sign on the front door of the Lawrence Cigar Company, 900 New Hampshire St., makes it immediately clear that the store is about more than selling cigars.
"We wanted a place where you could buy a cigar and then sit down and relax," said Stewart Colgate, owner. "It all comes down to giving the smoker a place to enjoy."
Lawrence Cigar Company, which opened Oct. 1, is a neighborhood smoke shop. Colgate said he modeled the store after the Brooklyn Cigar Co., the cigar shop featured in the movies Smoke and Blue in the Force.
"The neighborhood comes in; the businessmen come in — it's a cross-section," he said.
Colgate said the idea for the shop came from conversations he had with members of the cigar club, which he attends on Monday nights at the Bourgeois Pig, 6 E, Ninth St.

Colgate runs his store with the help of three cigar club members — Jovan Weissmiller, Tom Finch and Jonathan Levine.
Because the Bourgeois Pig and the upstairs of Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., were the only cigar-friendly places in town, it seemed like a good idea to create another place where people could smoke, Colgate said.
Lawrence Cigar Company keeps its selection of more than 70 cigar varieties in a walk-in humidor. The humidor is a room kept at a certain temperature and humidity to keep cigars fresh.
"There isn't a single cigar in that humidior that I haven't smoked," Colgate said. "I can tell you about the flavor and nuances of each one."
Lawrence Cigar Company, Town Crier and Doug & George's afternoon Pipe shop specialize in cigars in downtown Shop Lawrence.
Lola Williams, manager of Town Crier, 930 Massachusetts St., said her store had not noticed a drop in sales since the opening of the Lawrence Cigar Company. She said that may have been because Town Crier had a bigger stock of cigars than Lawrence Cigar Company.
Clinton Morris, Chicago junior, visits Lawrence Cigar Company about three times a week.
"I go there whenever I'm stressed out and need relaxing," he said. "I've visited a lot of cigar shops, and this is one of the best I've seen. The prices are excellent and the selection superb."
Stewart Colgate, owner of Lawrence Cigar Company, 900 New Hampshire St., smokes a cigar inside the store's humidor, a room that is temperature and humidity-controlled to keep cigars fresh. The store, which opened Oct. 1, encourages its patrons to smoke inside.

Professor to lead group that studies human sexuality
By Eric Weslander
Kansan staff writer
She has been featured in textbooks, the National Enquirer, Playboy and on television programs. Now, Charlene Muehlenhard, associate professor of women's studies and psychology, has been elected president of an international organization that studies human sexuality.
Muehlenhard will be inaugurated next weekend in Houston at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. She is known for her research on sexual coercion and consent, which involves issues such as acquaintance rape, date rape, sexual abuse and gender roles.
"I guess it would be fair to say that I was one of the earliest people working in that area," she said. "Basically, my research became known as a result of working on committees, making presentations, running for office and chairing spe

cial interest groups."
The Iowa-based society has members in 35 countries. It publishes a quarterly journal of sex research, a newsletter and brochures intended to increase the public's knowledge about sexuality.
During her one-year term as president, she will direct board meetings, make policy decisions and give the society's presidential address at next year's conference in
Washington. Muehlenhard will continue teaching at the University while she is president.
Muehlenhard's work has attracted the attention of BBC television producers, who featured her work in a 1992 program about date rape.
Our Sexuality, a human sexuality textbook, contained four-page interviews with Muehlenhard and five other sexuality researchers, describing them as distinguished researchers who have made significant contributions to the understanding of sexuality.
"That was kind of cool." Muehlenhard said.
She has been quoted in the National Enquirer and Playboy.
"The National Enquirer was surprisingly accurate," she said. "They called back twice to fact check the information."
Beverly Davenport Sypher, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said Muehlenhard had made many contributions to the University and to her field. Muehlenhard's recognition as an American Psychological Association fellow is notable, Sypher said.
"To be named as a fellow means that you have to be truly outstanding," Sypher said. She is sincere, thorough and committed to all aspects of her work, Sypher said.
Q: "With respect to yesterday's elections, what do you hope for in the next 4 years?"
