I always assumed that guys got a locker to hide their cigar purchases from their wives.

I thought the purpose of a locker at the local B&M was so you had a place to hide some sticks and booze so the wife didn't know how much you had or smoked/drank!!!!
I forgot to mention getting your picture on the wall.

He sells booze there now so he doesn't allow booze in the lockers.

I'm basing this on rates seen here in Orlando of $30/month, for an annual rental. Rather put that into some favorite sticks!

Value differs from person to person. Just like I think someone is a nut for spending 600 to 1200 a year on a locker, some thought I was crazy at 150. Someone would have to spend $12000 a year on cigars at the 1200 level to recoup cost so there is no value at that point. But, for some, prestige has value, even though it may be a false sense of appreciation.

$50 a month is not an unreasonable fee to charge someone for locker space and access to a private lounge area. Not to mention discounts (assuming your B&M gives them to their members).

Lounge is not private and there is no walk in humidor. Product is spread around the smoking area. Hence, my point being there is no value for the money.
