At Corona in Orlando the entire store is the humidor and lounge, so all of their smokes seem to have the cigar smoke odor on them already. While irritating at first, I haven't noticed a huge difference in flavor with those cigars vs. others.
Is it bad form...

Hmmm, come to think of it, this weekend I was visiting Bethlehem and stopped in the Tinderbox, I was about to put my cigar down going into the humi when the guy said just go ahead and take it in... shrug

I don't think we should be smoking in humidors, but it seems like most places don't mind. I feel like I'm doing something wrong when I do end up in the humidor with a lit cigar. If I build a walk-in humidor one day, I wouldn't allow smoking in it.

That's why most shops have ashtrays and cigar stands OUTSIDE of the humidor.

While not a humidor, I remember on the Modern Marvel's thing, Fuente was smoking a humidor in the tobacco warehouse room...

I have had the same experience. In the big humis I have been in, the owner did not mind if you walked in with a lit cigar. Usually the smoking area was outside the humi. What is interesting is that the smoke area for some clubs in NYC was where the rentable lockers were, not in their humis. The smoke/locker area was humidified, but the store kept their stash in a diffferent area, probably under a different humidification system.

Just a little update, I put the smokey cigars in a little desktop and after several days, the smoke smell seems to have dissapated enough to let them join my regular humi.
