Herf at Local B&M/Cigar Shops: Etiquette

[tx_tuff]

Just a reminder
If you are holding a herf at a B&M/Cigar Shop keep in mind that the owner is turning over his shop to you. It would be very appreciative to support the guys that allow us the use of their shop. So please buy at least one cigar when the herf is going on.

One good way to do this is to have a Cigar Pass. Each member can buy a cigar and then you do a Cigar Pass among the members there.

always a buy a cigar when herfing at an shop. support the local B&M

yea thats generally the unspoken rule that your not a cheap ass and not buy any cigars. i acutally buy more cigars than I should at herfs. If the owner is willing to let the inmates run the prison, pardon the expression, then just buy afew to support the business.

Hear hear!

I always buy something from any B&M I happen to be smoking in, herf or not. It just doesn't seem right to unleash a ton of people on the place and not spend any money.

Agreed and what you get back is a place to go in the future ( Cheers comes to mind) where you are able to surround yourself with people you already know you will like. I have been around quite a few B&M's in my travels and had some favorites. I used to belong to a B&M in Framingham, Ma. in the late 90's and loved it so much I was there nearly every other day. As a member you get those "special" benefits that you won't get online and my benefits were great friends to be around and those extra special cigars the owner would pass out to those who took care of him.
