I made a trip to a couple B&M's in KC yesterday. When I was looking around in a big walk in humidor, I noticed a guy opening tubo packaged cigars.
He was also taking the cigars out of the tubo and giving them the big under the nose sniff. He then put them back in the tube and back on the shelf.
I wonder what you guys think should be the proper way to shop/browse in a B&M.
While I'm shopping I don't handle the cigars unless I need too. Like to find the price, and then I just pick up the box and look. If the cigars are still in the cello I guess a little handling is OK. If the cigars are naked I think they should be hands off unless you are going to buy them.
When at home I don't get into my humi and handle the cigars unless I wash my hands first.
Is this a little of my OCD coming thru.:r Cigars aren't really a food product, but they are a perishable plant product.
What do you think?
