Can we get "don`t finger blast the nut jar"?

For anyone that cares the B&M we gather at has this little jars of nuts. You know the ones were the opening at the top is fairly narrow nd goes into a bowl of nuts. Your supposed to tip the container and pour the nuts into your hand. Well this character at the lounge decides to dig his finger into the container. The hole at the top is so small that he cant get two fingers in the jar. So this dude is pulling one nut out at a time. So of course I go on for a good 10 minutes of various crude humor about this dumba€$. Well poor ol Stad was apparently oblivious as to why Jim and I are laughing so hard goes and starts munchin the finger blasted nuts. Hope the stink finger wasnt too bad. Yes I did tell Stad to putt`em down... I couldn't let the guy eat too many.

Anyway moral of the story the hole in the top of the nut container is small for a reason.

This is something that needs to be said before our next herf regarding bags of chips or candy or any food in containers that are shared with other people. Pour out what you want. Keep your grubby hands out of the bag. In other words, keep your hands off other people's food. If you're guilty of this and never thought much about it, now you should. You should realize what a disgusting oblivious slob you've been.

Spell check. A I, or, shudder, both. We're doomed.

Thank you for the post. I've learned a lot in a short period of time and learned even more from reading this!

Concerning supporting my local B&M (which has a smoker's lounge), I have indeed purchased many sample packs in the past from them. Though I do not buy every time I use and enjoy their lounge, I do try to keep a mental tally of how many time I use their lounge vs how many cigars I've purchased from them.

Is this appropriate? Thanks

No, it's not. Only smoke what you buy there on that trip. The only plausible exception to this is if you pay for a membership there and have locker priveleges, or if it's expressly written on signs there that outside smokes are welcomed.

It's not even really appropriate to buy one there and then smoke a different one that you brought with you while stashing your new purchase OR smoke one there that you bought from that same shop last time.

Some guys here are barstool regulars at their shops and so can get away with, or are encouraged to bring their own stuff. That's not you though, I'm guessing.

Some guys on the forum will disagree, but none of these guys own cigar shops. (neither do I).

Number one didn't live up to my expectations.
