Been a member here for a while but this will be my first thread.- I work at a cigar shop and in the past year or so I have mainly been smoking Cuban cigars. While at work, I'll remove the bands and burn a CC while on shift. When I didn't work and while I was a regular at other B&M I would burn CCs with the label still on and would get mixed reactions from people saying "that's illegal blah blah"
All that to say, anyone smoke Cuban cigars in US B&Ms and what is your opinion?
Thanks!

I've never had someone say something negative about me smoking a Cuban in a B&M. If they get butt hurt that's their problem lol.

I smoke  CCs regularly in a few B&Ms in my area.  I will always buy a stick or two to support the store however but I've never had someone come up and examine my cigar or criticize me for what I was smoking.

Hey man..now that they've lifted that embargo, you should be getting the Cubans pretty soon right? Lol. I smoke mine at work with the bands on, but smoke mainly non Cubans. As long as a patron is purchasing stuff from me, they can smoke sticks they bring with them

Rarely go to B&Ms anymore - maybe once or twice a year to grab some seasonal/rare Fuente singles. About 95% of what I smoke is CC. On the odd occasion that I do smoke at the B&M, I buy a stick and just light up the CC I brought with me. Have never had a store employee say anything negative - have even traded extra CC for something off of the shelves.

If a fellow patron says something negative, get under their skin. Describe the flavor nuances to exacerbate their jealousy, tell him you bought it at a store across town and that the embargo is over, tell them you're happy to support a Socialist state that is so friendly with Russia, offer to sell him one at an inflated price or simply ask him "Hey, how's your wife and my kids?"

My experience exactly!

Personally I have yet to have someone question what I'm smoking, usually everyone is very polite and has some cigar etiquette.

I go to a couple local B&Ms here, one of which they know me pretty well, I always buy 2 cigars there and whatever beverage I'm having and I always tip the guy, I don't think they mind at all :)  Actually at one place I gave the guy a '98 Punch Punch for his bday and he didn't seem to mind that other lol

Also here in SD there are really only a couple B&Ms so indoor smoking can be at a premium. 

I saw a B&M employee behind the counter smoking a PSD4.

never had a problem doing it. spend money from buying drinks and from time to time purchase a few nc's
