Well... my list of particulars could go on for quite a while... so I will try to keep it to a minimum.

1) Don't be an @$$hole. The Golden Rule applies... even in cigar stores.

2) Don't be a cheap @$$. I realize that everyone has different levels of income and budgets for cigars, but picking up a $25 bundle of cigars and hounding the employee/owner about the price/discount... see rule #1.

3) Look up the definition of the word "Patronage". Strive to be a true Patron of the store.

4) Cigar Accesories should be brought with you or purchased at the store if possible. I would happily loan you a cutter to use... provided you're not the type who feels the need to coat the entire cap/cigar with saliva before using said cutter.

5) If you bring Booze, you be generous enough to bring enough to share with the employee/owner if they so choose to provide a haven for you to enjoy it. If it's a place that serves booze, you should not BYOB.

6) Thou Shalt not ash on my floor/couch/tv stand/coffe table/toilet seat/etc. and not make an effort to clean it up. Accidents happen, of course, but most stores I have been in... anywhere you stand or sit there is an ashtray within arms reach.

7) The remote control privelages can be taken away at the owner's discretion. Do not hound me to watch another episode of Modern Marvels if you've been there watching it for 4 hours already. The Kardashians should never be on in a cigar store. Period.

8) If free beverages are an offer the store makes... be considerate. I don't think you really need 6 Moutain Dews in a row anyway.

9) Thou Shalt not steal. Ever. Or I'll club your knees in with an axe handle.

And Finally

10) Always enjoy yourself and what you're smoking, but not at someone else's expense.
