B.Y.O.C.

If a cigar lounge does not have a policy against bringing your own smokes, then by all means bring them! However, it's always best to "dance with the one who brought 'ya", so be sure to partake in other amenities the lounge has to offer, such as fine spirits and rich cuisine. Don't expect a warm welcome  if you simply wander in with your own cigar and ask for a tall glass of water!  You are paying for the experience of indoor smoking; something of a nostalgic rarity these days.

 

Try to stay informed of the local smoking policies in your city and state.  Some laws, such as the one instituted in New York City, require that a certain percentage of a cigar bar's revenue come from the sale of tobacco to remain smoke-friendly.  To keep your beloved cigar bar afloat in such a climate, it is wise to purchase from the house every now and then.

 

Some lounges require patrons, if they have not rented one of the club's humidors—to purchase a cigar of choice. Don't begrudge the policy.  Besides being a nice courtesy, your generosity could help to keep the doors open for you and your fellow smokers.  It's a small price to pay and will help to keep a good cigar lounge available for your enjoyment!
