10 Pts of Cigar Etiquette

[Hot Lips]

I like the common sense aspect of this. Some shops are more flexible than others on the "other cigars"

Personally, I don't care if you are smoking something else in here. It becomes an issue when you spend the day drinking our coffee and telling everyone who walks in that your cigar was $2.00 at CI and cost less than anything in that humidor that isn't worth it anyway...

We love new cigars, bring one to share and all is forgiven

That said, I always smoke one I bought at someone else's store

Great post and great advice. Even experienced cigar smokers are guilty of a few of these!

This is very good. Thank you Larry for posting it.

Great post!! In regards to the 6th rule, where I frequent, the regulars break it pretty regularly, but they also buy a lot of sticks there too, share a lot, etc etc. That being said, while I've broken it numerous times, I also buy 70% or more of my sticks at my local B&M/Lounge.

Courtesy folks, show some respect, and everybody is happier.

Excellent post...should become a sticky on any forum wall.

Seems some of these rules are too "uppity" for the Leaf. While its not the perfect B@M. It's like family and it's what makes it special.

If there's ever any question to if you should do something, it's always a good rule of thumb to ask!! And when you ask, don't debate with the owners/employees if they say no. It never works for your kids, shouldn't work for you! LOL Just ask genuinely.
Especially if you're used to the rules at one shop, don't assume they are all the same. That's what I try to follow.

Words of wisdom. Always appreciated! Thanks Larry!

That doesn't just look like cigar etiquette, it's the Idiot's Guide to not being a douche.

I wish everyone would apply that list to all parts of their life!

Great post Larry. All rules are on point. This should be a Sticky in this forum to remind member when visiting B&M's.

Good rules to follow.

I don't think I'd be allowed in places with etiquette expectations like that. They'd get one look at me and see the future of obscenity and vulgar conversations.....

 

[xFreebirdx]

Nice list. Sad tho that people can't even have the most basic set of manners...........

 

[TADD]

Great list, what about don't ask to try another guys cigar....

 

[cartisdm]

Great list, what about don't ask to try another guys cigar....

Right?! I always hated that. Um...no. I actually DON'T want your slobber all over my cigar...

Have to admit, it never bothers me when chicks ask though
