Move to TX
Wish I could. Friends in Humble, TX.
Move to TX
I will talk to the owner of a cigar lounge in north Downey, today or tomorrow, to see if I can smoke outside there. Need to ask him the rules for smoking cigars not purchased there.

Called the owner last night. He said "NO" ! I can not smoke cigars not purchased at his store. I must buy his cigars. Even if I want to smoke in the outside patio are.
I see it from both sides. He is running a business, not a free place to smoke. If I'm smoking at a B&M, I always buy at least 1 cigar while there.
Not a shop I would care to go to, anyway. As long as you purchase something, I've never had a shop say no to bringing your own.I will talk to the owner of a cigar lounge in north Downey, today or tomorrow, to see if I can smoke outside there.

I totally agree. A shop can't carry everyone's favorite stick.
We're being squeezed into tight places by everyone around us, Gov/States/Local Laws/etc, we need to do whatever we can on an individual basis to keep these places open.

Would you take McDonalds into Burger King? I know, bad analogy, but I see it sort of being the same scenario. The B&M has built a great place to smoke, whether inside or outside, yet you contribute nothing. I've never been to a B&M that made me purchase one either, but I do it because I want to do my part in keeping it there for my enjoyment.

Isn't that a bit contradictory? Yes, we are all being squeezed into closets by laws and regulations, but this shop isn't making things much easier by not allowing outside cigars (under the rule that for every outside smoke you bring, you purchase one from the shop).
I understand why the shop would do that, to keep people from mooching, but it's also limiting their customer base and cutting out people who would like to use the lounge and still support them, but would like to bring in a cigar or two.

Yep, I'd agree with you there. It's sad that it's a requirement, for anyone to use their lounge or outside patio, that you must buy something. None of the places I buy from, require you to buy. Now, the ones with nicer lounges, require a membership but you can smoke whatever you want (bought there or not).
Hey, c'mon now. CA isn't all that bad. We got In N Out and a crap load of great breweries, right?
