I'm fortunate to have two excellent B&Ms nearby that keep their humidors at 65% or so, so anything that I have bought and smoked there has been fine. I also always bring a 5 stick caddy, and sometimes a bottle of scotch which gets left at my "regular" B&M (the other doesn't condone drinking on prem).

My regular B&M owner doesn't mind if you smoke your own sticks there, but I feel that I should buy at least a stick or two, to sort of pay "rent" while I am smoking and enjoying his air conditioning (or heat, depending on the season).

There are some people who come in carrying their own sticks, smoke them while watching the game on the big screen tv, and then leave without even thinking of buying one stick. B&M owners who have nice smoking lounges and encourage smoking in them are not running Man-caves for the public - they are in business, and anyone who wants to use their stores for a while should buy at least a stick or two!
