Being that I am an avid supporter of my local B&M's which for the most part offer free lounges as well as as brothers in arms in the fight to protect our rights (and their profits) to enjoy cigars so I try and buy there. I like the fact of being able to touch what I am buying and allows me F2F interaction with knowledgeable and likable people. Not to mention the occasional comp stick or two...
Now for the occasional HTF I might seek out one but, with the exception of a CC, I refuse anymore to get caught up in the hype cycle. We have been blessed in my area of California to have access through places like Tower (thanks Mark), West Coast and Mission Pipe, to a great selection of sticks.
Furthermore, there is a sign in one of the shops in Brentwood which says, "Feel free to smoke your online cigars in your online lounge."
