Possessed with grand plans to conquer the world, but don't have a smoke-filled room in which to ruminate over them? Corporate mavericks (and Wolfe-ian Masters of the Universe) might want to head towards Nat Sherman (12 East 42nd St.) and its cellar Johnson Club Room, billed as "an oasis for civilized smoking." Now open after a soft rollout in March, the club offers its members a full bar, access to a conference room, and some 260 lockers (public icons from Joe Torre to Rudy Giuliani store their sticks here) in exchange for the low, low fee of $1,600 a year. For those whose bodies haven't evolutionarily adapted to surviving on only the finest single-malt and cigars, this plush cáve also offers a continental breakfast from 9 to 11 every morning -- because smoking a private-label blend whilst pondering your next world-conquering maneuver is something best done on a brioche.
