    I did read the posts. I give people the benefit of the doubt. Many things can be misconstrued online, and a lot of people overreact.

    This guy is a newbie. He started out smoking horrible cigars and hence goes to a cigar forum to attain knowledge from BOTLs and FOGs here.

    It's like we have a double-standard here. We tell newbies to have a thick skin from replies here, and yet BOTLs and FOGs get so offended so easily by newbie first posts or remarks.

    I'm just saying I don't think he has "that" negative of a tone as other's perceive his post to be. That's just me. Hard to be too mean to someone I don't even know.

    Awaiting the burns for defending a newbie.

    i never look down on a newbie smoking crappy sticks. i started off on phillies, so i'm not pointing fingers. his tone is what i'm concerned about. i don't like people who talk like they have something to prove.

    C'mon guys. Read the thread "hello." Did he not say thanks for suggestions and say he was gonna try them out? Sarcasm and humor can be confused. Lay low for a while. If he's an asshat, he'll show it soon enough. What's the rush?

    Funky, I'm with you on this one... good post.

    You're right time will show asshatness. I'll lay off
    But I am sticking with my statements from earlier in the thread.

    I will not shave my face until this situation is resolved.

    He also has a cigar sweatshop of Cuban grown kids in his basement. But unfortunately they only rewrap Phillies.

    I knew if I hung around long enough someone would make a worse first impression than I did.

    Actually maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, is this a worse first impression than mine?
