Online - If you only want to try one stick of a certain line it will cost as much as a B&M after shipping so it doesn't make sense and you end up buying a 5'er and risking not liking them.
B&M - I'm a younger guy and I always get the "who the F&%$ are you and why are you here?" look when I walk into certain B&M's or they just don't greet me or talk to me.
Smoke em' if you got em'
Yeah
Welcome.
Online: No instant gratification. Paying Shipping and Handling.
B&M: 1) Having a employee on my ass int he humidor and trying to share my air. 2) Poorly designed lounges.
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

Online: Ditto on the inability to see the product and the waiting
B&M: With the smoking ban in WA, I can't smoke in the store and now most of the good ones have closed.

As an online retailer AND a B&M owner, I find this discussion enlightening. For me it would be:
Online: waiting for my sticks to arrive
B&Ms: ones where they baby me because I'm a woman, and ones with very few seating options or ugly design.

Online: Being sent the wrong cigar, you order a Maduro and the Natural wrapper shows up.
B&M: This is a pet peeve of mine as well as many other people I know, going into a B&M and the regular guys who are always there making you feel like your invading their space. I know of a few places where the regulars dominate a certain area in the lounge and make any outsider very unwelcomed.
