    Well, ignore the grammar policeman.
    Congrats though, I look to buy one eventually. I haven't been into the cigar thing long enough to need one though.
    Hopefully it'll be what you expected, and do a great job. :)

    Although an earlier post was referring to "spelling", and not "grammar", it's probably a bad idea to ignore either one. It's a stretch in expectation to want to be taken seriously when one's posts are full of misspellings, poorly structured sentences, lower case caps, etc. Spell check can take care of a lot (but not all) spelling issues, and posted errors are a sign the writer doesn't give a shit and can't be bothered with doing something correctly. Grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and other issues require more of the writer's diligence and attention, and maybe even the effort to use a (online - it's that fucking easy) reference.

    In the absence of voice inflection, facial expression, etc., of conventional communication, we all glean what clues we can that will give us some insight into the nature of the membership here. Instances of apathy, laziness, inattentiveness, and ignorance are catalogued away by readers, consciously or otherwise, and can accumulate and serve to give an overall impression of an individual as being a potential dilettante asshat fucking troll; not always, but the shoe often fits . . .

    There are many exceptions of course, with leeway given usually to senior membership - folks for whom apathy, ignorance, etc., have been long ago ruled out. For good or bad, newbs don't get to enjoy that luxury until they are no longer newbs.

    I just got my first humidor last week. Setting it up was a lot of fun, although confusing at times. You are going to love having smokes on-hand for whenever. Make sure to take your time to properly season it.

    Woo, finally someone gets their ass on their shoulders and I'm in time to watch it develop. I so hate reading over this sort of thread after the fact, wondering how I missed all the fun.

    Okay, well thank all of you kind people for the kind welcome to this (what i thought to be) helpfull forum. But as i have read over many post i have come to find that many people are more confrontational than helpfull. A great way to get more people into the hobby!

    Just don't be all butt-hurt, grow some skin, and try to keep your posts intelligible, and this place is VERY helpful.


    Flipping the at a highly respected member, who was trying to correct HORRENDOUS grammar and spelling errors will provoke confrontation ANYWHERE!

    Well seeing as I am not "Butt hurt", nor was i trying to offend anyone. All I was trying to to with this tread was to express my enjoyment of the hobby and the excitement that i had about my first humidor but acouple negitve Nancys killed that. Now when I comment on how this tread has become very off putting I am agian shut down my more members. Thanks
