My local B&M has a BYOB policy, 3 televisions, a great chessboard, a beautiful card table that seats 8, a pool table, and a bunch of great people to talk with and enjoy some cigar time with. The prices, while a bit higher than cbid, are not outrageous. I can get a DE UC Shade for $8 or so, and then spend the next few hours shooting pool and watching a Patriot's game with like minded people while drinking the beer I brought with me that is kept cold in their Fridge, using their electricity. Oh yeah, if you just want some quiet time, you can pull a book or magazine from the well stocked library, and sit in an overstuffed leather recliner, and read all day if you choose.
That's why I spend a little more for the cigars at my local, and then I get to enjoy myself there all day for the price of a cigar. Small price to pay, and worth every penny to me....
