My B&M has lockers for $200 a year, plus you get discounts on singles and boxes. It's a pretty sweet deal, and I'm definitely glad I got one. Gives me a place to hide the extra purchases the fiance doesn't need to know about :wink:

My local B&M's only have lockers at one of their stores and they are all rented. I've got another store about an hour away has a yearly membership for $200 that includes a locker and lounge access. If they were closer I'd be all over them.

The way the lockers at Burning Leaf work is more of a commitment to spend $100 a month at the shop rather than a rental fee. That spend is rarely a problem if you frequent the shop.

Any decent set of lockers are a sealed system with their own humidification, so short of opening the doors and injecting plumes of smoke into them, I can't see a smoke odor being a problem. I've had a locker for 2 years at the Leaf now and they are located in the smoking lounge and I've never experienced a problem.

The biggest concern to have is the person managing the humidification and making sure they keep it tight and refilled with water.

You're committing to supporting your B&M which is never a bad thing and it probably comes back at you with deals, discounts, phone calls when something special shows up...etc.

I think this is the only way I would ever buy a locker. This seems to be a nice compromise where it's more of a reward for supporting the store instead of renting space.

Yeah that's the only way I could see having a locker ^^

the unfortunate part of the $100/month thing here is, that would only get you about 2-4 cigars...lol

My shop has lockers here. We charge $200 a year, I'm usually nice and do it for 15 months. We give ya a free cigar every month that's at least $7. I never throw a Factory Throughout in there. And 10% off sticks %15 off boxes or box amount purchases, 10% off accessories. And during events, at least 20% off box purchases.

Oh yeah and dibs on HTFs that come in. And nice little text messages from me keeping you posted on the HTF stuff or restocks or New to the Shop's.

The Burning Leaf has lockers for us and I wouldn't dream of not having one. So much more convenient than grabbing sticks everytime I head there to smoke.

My locker at the LCDH is free as long as I buy a box every month or so. As is access to the VIP smoking room and regular lounge ;o)
