End of September I'm in Spain. I'll be looking for one particular vitola, unfortunately it's known for sometimes having construction issues. I'll want to inspect the smokes (if I find any). I know enough not to be wearing sun-tan cream etc., ... but how acceptable is it to touch and finger test every cigar in a box knowing that there is a good possibility of rejecting the box?

Arf, I've not a wealth of experience, but have had varied responses: a few have been a little impatient, whilst others let you get on with it. The former seem to be a little dumbfounded as to why you might need to, and I guess that shows their ignorance (not in a disrespectful way). Without playing on my post, suck it and see"Go you good things...geddem int'ya"

Well just a thought here if I may:
If you're going around touching and fingering the sticks, why not do what the professionals do: wear gloves.
Everyone is uncomfortable in the situation. But at least you and the sticks are physically protected!
I'm pretty sure your charming English dialogue can be used to explain your special conditions!

I would just ask Arf and if they have a problem shop elsewhere.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to want to pick up a stick or two to inspect them before possibly shelling out several hundred Euro's on the box, who knows what the underside of a particular stick might be like, poor construction, holes in the wrapper, mould, evidence of beetles etc."The best cigar you'll ever smoke is the one you're smoking at the minute" - Zino Davidoff
