New guy here

[ggiese]

I am new here. My name is Rigo, 32 years of age. Found this, nice looking site doing a google search and decided to join. I am a beginner to cigars in general. And when I say beginner, I mean beginner. So please, teach me, correct me, criticize my opinions so that I can become knowledgeable towards cigar smoking and collecting.

Glad to be a part of this forum and I hope to make some good friends on here and learn a lot from you.

I would help, but some folks tell me I suffer from "ignorance".

Well, if you're ignorant.....I'm not even gonna try.

That's ok you two. I'm sure there are other members who are willing to help and teach newbies.

Yep....I wouldn't know anything about helping newbies out. Please show me the way, enlightened one.

Here is newbie advice: Grow thicker skin, or you're not going to enjoy this board very long...

Thanks for the advice, and believe me, I know all about thick skin....lol

I am actually having fun here. The problem is that on the net, it is impossible to show any kind of expression but I am actually joking with ggiese and ashauler. Now if they take things to heart, then I guess they need to grow an even thicker one.

Because I am new, there is nobody on here who knows how I am. My personality is one of a calm person and a jokester at the same time. I can take a lot in.

I don't mind what people say. I am only here to try to learn a little about cigars. I do NOT want to be a pro in cigars. I just want to know enough to find what I like and to seat back while smoking it.

Oh, and have a nice collection. Know enough to talk, if need to, about my collection.

LOL. Yep, I need me some thicker skin.

So please, teach me

So, the first thing I would recommend you do here is find yourself one or two of the FOGs, preferably the ones who might be in the top 3 for post counts. You know, guys who have been around the block a dozen times and have tons of knowledge about what you are trying to learn about...

then, call them ignorant and flip them off.

Oh wait, I see you already did that... well I guess you already know how to handle yourself, no need for advice from me.

Squirrely eyes seem appropriate here
