And just to play devil's advocate, how do you know the damage you observe at your B&M is from squeezing? Cigars can sustain damage in many ways. Now if you have observed customers squeezing cigars and then see the damage, that is a different story.
Well, I suppose I just assume its from the squeezing, almost everytime I am there I see someone squeeze the cigars. There is this one older fellow who is a regular there that will squeeze almost a whole box before he buys the cigar he wants to find the perfect one. He will also bring a cigar to his ear to listen while he squeezes it, not sure why, just something I have observed.

I see a lot of cracked heads and torn wrappers, it just seems squeezing would be what causes them. I really don't see the point tho, the B&M has a hygrometer in there and it always reads somewhere between 68-72% RH... that should be good enough for most people.
