[QUOTE=entheomation]This may be true but if I didn't discover these flavored smokes as a young, but legal, smoker I would have never worked my way up to "real" cigars. I wasn't interested in smoking full bodied smokes or even medium bodied ones as they were all nic. bombs to me at the time. I am thankful for being able to have an enjoyable start to cigar smoking, although you couldn't pay me to smoke them nowadays, rather than just being turned off to smoking from the start. Knowing that it is inevitable that many new smokers (especially younger ones) will try flavored cigars, if they don't heed the advice of the ever so understanding elders and give a nice mild "real" cigar a try, its nice to at least give them a constructive review of the flavored cigar in question rather than steer them away from smoking all together.

While on the topic of denial:
I have recently been noticing a lot of homophobia (usually a sign of closet homosexuality) on this message board lately, based on the abundance of antagonistic comments and fruedian slips in many posts lately. It's rather sad to witness this behavoir.
I thought the list was funny and didn't even really notice the homosexual reference I have nothing really against anyones sexual preferences. Doesn't make my life any different. Sorry if it came across like that.


Now give me a hug
