cigar shop lounge etiquette?

[Footbag]

I will always buy a cigar if I plan on smoking in the establishment. One B&M I frequent has an amazing lounge with comfortable furniture numerous TV's and just an amazing atmosphere. Of course, they are considerably more expensive then the other local B&M's. Even though I could probably save money by buying online and smoking elsewhere, I still think the atmosphere makes it worth it. Now I may not purchase boxes from them, but I have no problem overpaying for a few sticks and enjoying their store. I even drag my wife in there and make her smoke with me.

Plus, at home, I always grab CC's. When I'm out at the B&M, it's almost an opportunity to try something new.

I can't add much that hasn't already been said (what's new?)

But, I can rant in an etiquette thread, right?


There are two shops close to me that are very well stocked and have comfortable smoking areas. Both have bar areas.

One shop has no policy against bringing your own cigars.The other one does.


I almost never buy an NC that retails for over $6, and I never drink alcohol. I still wind up spending $20 or more every time I go in. And, I always tip if I drink coffee.


In these tough economic times, care to guess who gets my $20?
