You don't have to bend over and take it in the ass but there will be shit handed out
People like me,Ggiese ,Coventry Cat and Cigar Sarge and a lot of other guys have been around long enough to see some real cigar thieving scumbags and generally shitty persons appear on boards. Gamelover being one of them I personally followed around to make sure he was known for the band switching theif he was. We all are proud of what we do for a living me included and we all have our various opinions and are proud of them too but I will tell you this. When my friends herf at our local shop ,all 30 of us don't talk much politics or touchy subjects. we usually talk about cigars and sports and general bullshit. I know for a fact a couple of the dudes I herf with make 3x what I do including a former pro football player but we are pretty much equal with a cigar and a glass of whatever drink we like. We protect our own and part of that is picking on newbies to see what they are really like. Obviously you seem to be able to pick out some good cigars to smoke and review. You would make a great adittion to this board Take care 'Kevin
