Cigar things that annoy you

**Stinky** · 07-02-2005, 12:34 PM

Ok. I'll bite. This is just for fun... RIGHT?

1.)Figurados.....I can't stand them. == Why??? What’s wrong with the good ole shaped cigar??? Sounds like you’re very intolerant and anal! Ever watch the movie “Grumpy Old Men”?
2.) "Barbershop" cutters--I'd rather chew off the cap with my mouth. == And, you’ve been Paranoid about “germs” from what age? Ok. It’s kind of unsanitary. Real men don’t care!
3.)Thompson telemarketing calls. == Agree… actually ANY telemarketing!
4.)Candelas. == Do you hate all things different?
5.)Tunneling. == Agree… this is a blatant defect in a cigar.
6.)Getting cigars out of a new box without that ribbon thingy… == Man! You need counseling! Any how… I read somewhere in one of my old cigar books that the proper technique is to push down on the head and grab the foot of the cigar. Most experienced cigar smokers use the same tool they use to open the box… slip the tool (or knife) between the foot and the side of the box and it’s really easy! And this bothers you? Are you retarded?
7.)Churchill cigars that really have the dimensions of a corona. == The more you learn about sizes and labeling, the more you’ll find this is common throughout the cigar industry. Get over it.
8.) Trilogy cigars that aren't triangle-pressed. == This is a big problem??? I rarely even see this brand.
9) Arrogant people continuously posting worthless nonsense on cigar boards. == Like you?
10) A cigar smoker who would think a flavored cigars is worth taste testing. == Ok. I kind of agree…
11) A certain cigar smoker who has a ranked list of his favorite flavored cigars. == Sounds like you have a little vendetta.
12) Someone who puts a numbered ranking on a cigar that is not worth ranking. == But YOUR opinion is better than THEIR opinion, right? Hhhmmmmmmm.
13) A nameless person who smokes Thompson reject specials and tells me how fantastic they are. == There’s no accounting for taste!!! There again, YOUR opinion is better than THEIR opinion, right?
14) A Guy on a cigar board posting quotes from historical figures. == So, you think we should burn all the history books? “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!” Sigmund Freuid
15) Someone who recommends cigar sales and specials when they're much cheaper elsewhere. == Thank God you know EVERYTHING!
16) A person who sees a certain cigar site and just can't wait to share it with others, despite the fact that he has no clue if the site is truly worth scrutiny... == There again, YOUR opinion is better than THEIR opinion, right?

Hey! That was fun… I guess it’s ok to share my first instinct about other posts here, right? Well, I know you might get pissed off because I didn’t agree with your opinion. But, I decided to post it anyway! Even at the risk of offending you. You see, I’m not doing in a mean way… I’m kind of poking fun at the Archie Bunkers here. Or, do you NOT see that?

Anyway, I’m going to add my 2 cents worth of “Cigar things that annoy you” just in case someone wants to poke fun at me!

A. Cigar wrapper leaf that pop off when you’re smoking!
B. People (like little know-it-alls) who have some little tid bit of information wrong and share (or post) it with other cigar smokers.
C. People who take their opinion and share it with others as if it were a “fact” instead of their personal opinion!
D. People who don’t know what they are talking about and use their stupid logic to explain something the know nothing about and share (or post) it as if they have some kind of credible information. That's what we call "Wive's Tales" ... Don't GUESS! Read a book!
E. Here’s one that will confirm that I’m anal too! People who don’t know the difference between these common words:
1. Then & Than
2. Their, there & they’re
3. Hear & Here
4. Your & You’re
5. too & to
6. allot & a lot

F. The Web Site Bulletin Board guys who abbreviate EVERYTHING! Like they are COOL and speak to other cool cigar guys in their secret code talk! RASS, WOA, WOAM, SG, BTL, LGC, PSE, PGC, Hemi, Monte, Connie, etc.
G. ISOM! That’s REALLY stupid!!! IMHO,

it’s the dumbest thing they’ve ever come up with!!! Secret code? Island South of Miami? For God’s sake! You can say CUBA! You think the Fed’s aren’t going to figure that out? Does that make you feel secure? Or, dose it make you feel COOL??? Every once in a while I smoke a cigar from CUBA!! C U B A ! ! ! CUBA!

There! Now you got my opinion! I think it’s kind of funny! Hope you guys can take a Joke because . . . I’m Stinky!

**sungrownbill** · 08-07-2005, 09:22 AM

Sitting in my favorite shop, enjoying a smoke recently, a well dressed young professional was browsing the humidors, when one of the shop keepers asked if they could offer some assistance. He wasn't sure what he wanted, but said that "He couldn't smoke anything rated under 90" ! My, oh my, how that one sentence described this poor soul.

Smoke what you like, not what the current issue of your magazine tells you is "bold, spicy, and finished with a hint of coffee and steel"

**kevin7** · 08-07-2005, 09:30 AM

Bill,you have to just snicker quitely under your breath and let it slide. The origionator of this thread sfg75 is a poser also,the only thing is that he was a crappy cheap cigar poser LOL.. At least the poser in your shop tried to imitate class.

At my local we alawys try to help anybody that want's our humble opinion and as a matter of fact a former NFL player frequents our shop and asks us about cigars all of the time. Heck we want to hear about the NFL but all he wants is cigar knowledge.

Scotty is really starting to piss me off.

**CoventryCat86** · 08-07-2005, 11:59 AM

Did you see how Scotty lied over on the Island claiming he was NOT banned/suspended from CW?

Scotty is the lowest form of life to ever post on a cigar BB. At least gamehumper had something that resembled a personality while he bent you over.

Scotty is the bottom of the barrel.

**Dmitri** · 08-07-2005, 07:40 PM

While enjoying a smoke with my cousin the other day, I realized that people constantly trying to flick the ash off of a cigar really annoys me. He would take 2-3 draws from it then try knocking the ash off while I had an inch and a half long ash on the end of my cigar.

**opie** · 08-08-2005, 02:38 PM

Cigars with bad caps.

**Jonsey5484** · 08-08-2005, 02:55 PM

Fidel Castro controlling the Cuban Cigar market! What a no good piece of shit. And I hear his son is just as bad, if not worse.

**QuietC** · 08-08-2005, 08:25 PM

so about 3 weeks ago I had a little get together, and this girl was looking through my digital camera at the pics. Well when she got to the pics of the cigars in my humi, she was like "why do you have pictures of your phillie (philly, whichever) blunts" "why do you have so many philly blunts", that annoyed me at the time for some reason.

**King of Vagabonds** · 08-08-2005, 10:56 PM

QuietC-- That sounds brutal...made me wince just thinking about it. She's already treading thin ice by digging through your digital camera, and then goes on to insult your stogies. Disgraceful.

**Island Epicurean** · 08-09-2005, 07:30 AM

One Word: MOLD

You're just bitter that you are unable to get them.

For me also the fact that a monte #2 costs £12+ in the UK, and the fact that you need too much patience to age them properly.
