I just set up a corporate account cigar cabinet rental at my local smoke shop. This gives us a cabinet there to store cigars/boxes in, and the shop has a lounge that's free to anyone to use (nice chairs/tables, lounge chairs, big screen TV, etc.).
Anyone who owns a business (or might be able to persuade their boss into doing this), it's a pretty cool idea. The rental fee for the storage space, as well as the cigars you buy for it can be paid for by pre-tax corporate money, and partially written off as an entertainment expense.
Not a bad idea to do as a perk for employees, while also having a stock of cigars and location for entertaining business associates, and being able to write off part of your cigar purchases.
I didn't bother telling everyone what was in the cabinet we have at the cigar shop, because I don't think they'll know the brands anyway -- but we have 2 boxes of Añejo Shark No.77's and a box of Opus X Super Belicoso's in there. Good smokes, both.
Here's the email I sent to my staff:

I've set up a corporate account at The Havana House; it's a cigar shop that has a nice selection of cigars. While I realize that most of you would rather eat dirt than smoke a cigar, perhaps we'll have a business associate who does like cigars or you'll have a relative in town who enjoys a good cigar. It's similar to the shared-access everyone has at Bally's: some use it, some don't, but it's available to everyone.
This is not a charge account. We have a humidity-controlled locker there, which I've stocked with three boxes of excellent cigars. Feel free to head down there, grab a smoke, and enjoy it there, or take it wherever. Any of the cigars that are in that locker are fair game, unless they are marked otherwise. Please be fair about it though; don't grab 10 cigars at a time or anything.
The Havana House is staffed by nice friendly people, they have a good selection of cigars, and they also have a ventilated smoking lounge complete with lounge chairs, tables for playing poker, and a huge TV where they always have good movies/sports games on.
Bernard has the key to the locker, just grab it from him when you plan to head out there, and return it the next day (or over the weekend, return it on Monday). Feel free to put whatever cigars you want in there, but mark them in some manner if you don't want other people smoking them.
Directions on how to get to the Havana House can be found here:

The Havana House is located at 365 North Washington Street in Rochester, (585) 586-0620. It's very easy to get to, takes about 10 minutes from the office. 490 East to 441 to Panorama Trail (which turns into N. Washington Street).
Enjoy...
