I personally don't see a problem with it and neither does the owner since he lets me continue to do so.

That makes sense but not every one has sense. Some guys would go into the shop that closed down with their zip log bag from Holts or CI and sit down and start smoking. They would even read the catalogs, planning their next purchase to boot. Had another guy that came in every day showing off his Cubans and smoking them but never buy from the store. Along those same lines they allowed pipe smokers to fill a bowl from their bulk blends for free to sample the different blends. There were some that "sample" every time they came in and never buy any pipe tobacco. Near the end of the business their inventory was so bad you couldn't blame someone for bringing their own. There was nothing decent to buy. If that happened when I was in there, I would buy a magazine or something. That's a bi reason why I would never subscribe to cigar or pipe magazines just so I could buy something from them.
