cigar shop lounge etiquette?

the lounge at my local b+m is at ground level + downstairs. The humidor is upstairs. The staff downstairs doesnt know what i buy upstairs. If the b+m doesnt carry the cigar that you are smoking take the band off

Where at in Koln? The only place I have found there(although I admit I have not spent much time there) is the Davidoff place close to the Dom.

All the places I have been in have a policy of "bring what you want but buy something" Now I dont go around abusing that policy like some people who buy a two dollar stick and then turn around and spend the next five hours burning four $20 dollar sticks.

The last place I went to I actually got chewed out by the store owner for "bringing in outside sticks" when I actually bought those sticks at his shop. Needless to say I no longer frequent that place.

The way I see it is, if I support the place by buying there or smoking what I bought there, the B&M owner has no right to dictate what I smoke there. I don't frequent places where this is not the policy.

I disagree that he has no right to dictate, it's his place....but I have the right not to go there, which is what I would choose to do.
