I don't like the idea of using different cigar sizes.

The Site Owner of CigarSnobs uses cigar BRANDS which I think is a classic
A newbie starts off as:
"Black and Mild"
then after a certain number of posts (which is some oddball number like 27) you become:
"Phillies Blunt"
followed by:
"Shisher Sweet"
"White Owl"
"Lars Teten"
"TeAmo"
"Don Mateo"
"Henry Clay"
"Macanudo"
"AVO"
and so forth and so on.......
What I think is pretty cool about it is that no one knows EXACTLY what the cutoff point is where you reach the next level so it's fun to watch your member title automatically change to some other dog rocket brand of cigar So as you increase your post count, the brand of the cigar under your avatar or member title gets snobbier.

I'm the second highest poster there and have attained "AVO" but I don't know what comes after that because the person with the highest number of posts is the dickhead administrator who chooses his own personal member title.

At some point, the member can create his own personal member title
