I think that is because the search requires the keyword to be more than 3 characters long...

so uh, welcome to the forum lyc - maybe try an intro? Man, I hope you aren't the Nub version of Steve Tabak...

ETA: Steve was the marketing genius who decided it was good marketing to lie to us by pretending to give an honest review of Pride cigars.

I don't recall see the location specifically for introductory posts. After reading through several forum posts (not necessarily intros), I decided to forgo any type of introductions. I noticed quite a few people would end up get flogged and flamed pretty bad so what was the point.

They are getting flogged and flamed for good reasons - sometimes because they didn't post an intro and then when they were asked to provide one they posted their attitude instead...

You can post your intro in this thread if you want, we consider this a community and it is considered bad form to just walk in and start asking questions without at least introducing yourself.

Search around a little more and you will see what I mean - there are many examples of good intros, and many, many examples of meltdowns.

And the flame kindles... I typical join a forum board and READ the stickies to make sure I don't miss anything. I did not see anything in regards to the whole "post a intro". Maybe you should kindly add that so that you do not observe attitude from possible new members?

I'll make a bargain, I'm at work and I'm frustrated. I'll revisit this later tonight.

There was no flaming in Buzz's post at all. He just gave you some sound advice on how this community works.

Also, IMO Nubs are a worthless gimmick. Sweet spot my ass.

Intro's been posted :) Let's get back on topic if at all possible.

I understand people like / dislike the cigar. I was hoping people would elaborate on their opinion.

**ndv21** · 03-23-2010, 02:13 PM

I see you are a "short & sweet / straight-to-the-point" kind of guy so here's my "elaborate" answer:

I can get a better tasting, longer lasting cigar for the same price.

Hope that works for ya. Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for the intro.

Don't care for the Nub line. Just a personal preference. I prefer longer lanceros or churchills. I smoked the maduro and the habano - they just didn't entice me to try another one, let's leave it at that. I prefer Nicaraguan cigars above all others, at that. Maybe try a Padron or something from the Tatuaje Havana line, and let me know if you can taste the difference.

Tiny things, in general, annoy me - there are many exceptions, however.
