Phillies are good deal

considering the recent ban I don't think it would be a ridiculous idea that a newbie coming on board and saying something stupid like this may be a troll. Wait and see I guess.

Now now Nate, let's be respectful of other's opinions!!

coffeeandcigarboy honestly and genuinely stated a well thought out cost comparison analysis and backed it up with actual data to phrase a very interesting topic for discussion here in our community.

Now I'm sure that some of our more seasoned members here may find his logic and conclusions to be slightly off the mark BUT in my humble opinion, we should be open and tolerant to the opinions of others in particular the "outside the box" thinking displayed here by our new member coffeeandcigarboy.

Getting back to the extremely interesting inquiries posed to us by coffeeandcigarboy, I have smoked all of the cigars you've mentioned and don't find any of them enjoyable at all. While you make an interesting case for these cigars based on cost, the general consensus among seasoned cigar smokers is while they may APPEAR to be attractive from a cost standpoint, they are not an enjoyable cigar to smoke or to offer to friends.

However, you did NOT mention the "Muniemaker" brand which are a similar cigar and in my opinion, they are very good!

I'm sorry that I cannot help you with where Dickson found his avatar photograph. My eyesight isn't very good anymore so I don't even know what it's a photograph of, it just looks like an orange blur to me.

I would suggest that you send Dickson a "PM" or "personal message" with your inquiry. I'm sure that he would be more than happy to assist you.

now even though i am not as seasoned of a cigar smoker as others on this forum, i have only been smoking for about 2 years now, i am a college student and at points i want to smoke a very decent cigar but not pay a huge price. there are cigars out there with very good flavor and body for the same price as the ones u have listed. if i may recommended something like a Padron 2000 or 3000 which can run you somewhere around 4.00 a stick, they are a decent smoke for the price. maybe also a CAO gold label somewhere in the corona range. but i bet if you ask or start a thread for advice people will be extremely helpful, even though i am new to this forum every one has been very nice and helpful with any questions that i have had, im sure they would do the same to you.
