Question about lounges!

[Sweet_Leaf_PDX]

If it's a cigar retailer (B&M) with a smoking lounge then I always try to buy something there. I think it's ok to smoke a cigar you brought from home, but you should buy a cigar from the shop too. I will also usually buy a pop or something to have with my cigar.

If it's a "cigar bar" that lets you smoke and sells food/drinks then I think it's ok to buy food/drinks from them and bring your own cigars.

One of the reason's that frequent a particular B&M's lounge is because they keep their cigars at good humidity and I am always happy to grab one from their humidor and light it right up.

Good point, Jason. We don't have any of those in Illinois, but I do things similarly in other states that have them.

Some states, mine included, only allow the designation of "cigar bar" which allows indoor smoking, if X% of their income is derived from tobacco sales. I always purchase a stick when at a facility that allows indoor smoking. However, at a local B&M, if I purchase a box or a bunch of cigars I will bring those back and smoke those, but only when they were purchased at that B&M. If I have two in one setting then I will smoke one that I brought.
