    Yep, you're free to post what and when you wish. You will be held accountable for those posts though. Your tone directed at a senior member of this community is out of line, you should have taken the advice he gave you.

    So does everyone else here, though usually in a bit less of a socially retarded manner.

    Arrogant and presumptious of you......here is where some serious reading would be to your advantage. You are wrong, all are not equal in this community. Post count means nothing, however, participation and tenure do.

    If your interested, check out how to hand roll cigars and smoking tips by expert village on youtube. Theres a bunch of 2 minute videos that talk about a bunch of little things. Everything from how to light a cigar properly, to how to ash, how to cut it properly, etc. Just a bunch of little things, but you could probably pick up a thing or two. I know I did.

    Or, since you're right here on a forum by and for people who smoke cigars, you could use the search tool and read up on all that stuff. You could also learn a little about the history of this board and it's members...or you could be a douchebag.

    Ticker, here's the correct response; it's not too late to use it:

    "I apologize, I'll shut up now, and I'll post with more discretion in the future."

    Do you honestly think anyone here would go to YouTube to learn how to light up a stick?


    Skip asshat, do not pass "GO", do not collect $200, go straight to "douchenozzle".

    Oh okay, I didn't know that because my bandwidth is extremely limited at my hooch, and YouTube is blocked at work. I guess we can give it some leeway then.

    There was no "tone" intended and I found his welcoming to be quite arrogant. That is how I percieved it as one human being speaking to another, without the supposedly social hierachy.

    Nice to meet you. More great advice, thanks.

    I said everyone should be treated equally with respect. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

    Intro thread was the first thing I did once I signed up. Apparently mods have to check it since it was my first post/thread I believe. Never gave my intro here, just said hi and said that I'm new as well. I'm no forum etiquette expert either, though I'm not big on hijacking other peoples thread. If you have more to share with me on this matter just hit me up with a PM or wait until my intro thread is open.

    Sorry bout this gifters.
