In 1973, "urban renewal" was sweeping the nation, and Eugene proceeded to demolish most of the graceful historic buildings downtown and erect garish concrete parking structures in their place. The owner of Luckey's at the time, Ben Rayovich, purchased a dirt parking lot at 933 Olive St, and built an exact replica of the old Luckey's. He moved, absolutely intact, all the furniture, fixtures, bar, ceiling fans, antique stained glass cigar sign, antique pool tables, and even the fir wainscoting into the new building. Based on the interior photos of the old place, he did an excellent job preserving the character of the original bar. Ben did add some modern amenities, such as a sprinkler system, heating and a/c, and (by order of the OLCC!) a women's restroom.

Henry LaClair, the owner since 1983, put the bar up for sale in 2001, convinced the impending smoking ban in Eugene would bring an end to the Club Cigar. "How can you have a Cigar Store without smoking?" he asked.
