Love/Hate Relationship

[alliaphagist]

as a newbie, I like this idea. Should be helpful.

I too am a newb... and would love to see what others like.

Unfortunately I don't have a list... I have somewhat enjoyed every cigar I have smoked.

I do have a love / hate relationship with a single cigar...

Baccarat 1871 Dolce Far Niente Toro

The first one I had, didn't like it at all... didn't burn even, tasted overly sweet... but, since I had another in my humidor, I tried it again... and really liked it! I purchased several to keep in the humidor (at very least to give out to people who don't really smoke cigars)... and really liked them. Then just had one this weekend, and didn't like it.

Anyhow, not sure if it is the mood I am in, or the quality control of the Baccarat, but it is a love / hate relationship alright!

I kinda enjoy spending time on the board, reading reviews and researching smokes, and spending time with my BOTL's.

You can get my likes / dislikes from my reviews and posts.

Actually, my list changes so much, putting it in writing may tend to limit me somehow.. Too many good cigars out there!

Rock On though!

They are VERY expensive by the box!


Even a fiver can create storage problems... I usually just pick up singles when I can, smoke them, and flick they're butts out into the street!

A nice touch of class for the board!

I [B]don't[B] think it offensive because it was a simply a suggestion. I think that sometimes new ideas and new ways of thinking are a great thing in this world. I would love to hear of some opinions other than yours because it seems that you take offense to just about anything. If you don't like my ideas thats fine, but you don't have to shoot me down just because i am a new guy. Out here on the farm we don't care if you are young, old, male, or female. If you work hard and do a good job then you are hired. We don't make everyone go through some kind of initiation and we don't have a 100 day/post waiting period. I don't mean to get all bent out of shape but some things hit a nerve with me. I may be a new guy here on this forum, but just because i don't have the vast cigar knowledge that you do doesn't make me your pee-on.

That is how it works here bud. Don't like it ? then leave. maybe puff.com would suit you better. They all play nice and kiss each others ass and obey an asswipe of a board owner. Scumbags reign free and protected .

you come on a cigar forum you have to prove yourself. You show the members here you have strong character. The cigar forum is a community and as such we look out for one another a 100 day 100 post rule, i take it you mean the PIF thread, is in effect to stop folks from coming here not wanting to actually contribute a damn thing and still benefit from the community. Does that sound like it would be fair to you? Also whether you like it or not this right now is our house, not yours. We built it and made it what it is. How would you like someone coming to your place and then immediately telling you that you needed to get new drapes? You become a member here, show us who you really are, earn some trust and some respect and then your ideas will maybe be listened to.

As far as the love it/ hate it idea, it's not the greatest. Cigars are subjective, all opinion. Reviews work better because they actually give the new member a reason a cigar is either good or bad. You tell me you hate a cigar without telling me why and I just take your word it is bad I could be missing out on a really good smoke. You tell me you hate it because it is too spicy tasting to you I may go right out and try it because spicy is one of my favorite cigar profiles. Get it?

Oh and one more thing, prolly one of the fastest ways to get shown the door is to start lipping off to senior members that have been here pretty much since the site was created. ggiese is very well respected on this forum and many others so I would proceed with caution if you actually want to show you belong here.
