Thread: Just started in a new humidor, and new responsibilities!

  1. Default Just started in a new humidor, and new responsibilities!

    Long story short, I fell into a position where my insufficient cigar knowledge demands some aid from you pros. I've made a list of what my humidor has in stock, and would very much appreciate you all's input on these cigars. Anything you can add would be helpful. Thanks!

    My recommendation would be to use the search function on this forum, as it is a valuable tool to gather information. You've listed a numerous amount of smokes, and rather than members telling you about each smoke, a little research will tell you all you could possibly need to know. When I'm interested in a cigars flavor or specifics, I just google search that cigar and usually find a number of reviews.

    I think what Cody said sums it up. Or I would say go fucking figure it out using the goddamn SEARCH fucktion. And in case you are wanting to sell them I would say there are about 34$ worth of smokable cigars at tops. Read the fucking board some before you ask a shitload of questions,we are not the help desk for drive by fucktards

    So you're a self proclaimed "jerk face." Does that give you some sense of entitlement? You're on a damn forum, relax and get buzzed. You could've grabbed a cigar, cut, lit, and enjoyed in the time you spent typing that response. And, if you enjoyed the former more than my latter suggestion, you should go troll a more flaming-appropriate forum.

    Thanks for the search tips. Thought it might be easy for some of you pros to just group them together, or list off the few bests... Guess I'm wrong.

    where does this hostility come from? I joined to read about cigars and maybe learn something. What gives?

    So, you joined for some of the right reasons....ie, read and learn. See any difference in what the op is doing?

    Phew... Thanks for volunteering to help out with this request.

    Quite a big project and so much work to do. Glad to see we have someone willing to step up and take care of this request. Any idea how long it will take you to put together a comprehensive response to this new guy's request? I know it's pretty daunting, but I'm thinking you should be able to put something by tomorrow night. Sound fair?

    C'mon, jiss - calm down. Kevin's just reacting to the near impossible request you threw out here.

    But - no worries - jimmy's got this one for you. He should have something for you by tomorrow night. That should work for you, right?

    Jizz and Jimmy are going to be friends after this. That's for sure.

    I could be wrong, but I think jimmy here was referring to jizz's hostility.

    Or just leave the forum policing to those more qualified.

    I don't think it's such a daunting task. Any cigar distributed or owned by General Cigar or Altadis probably sucks. Any cigar with a Cuban trademark, but not made in Cuba, probably sucks. There are exceptions but that's for you to figure out.

    Doc - I believe jizz wanted was much more than that. He's a very busy, busy boy and does not have time to do the research.

    If you read his follow up post, I believe he was looking for one of the "FOG's" to put together a listing of links within our board to various reviews and/or outside sources of information about the cigars he has in his "collection". Honestly, though - and in support of your wise counsel - most of what I saw on his list that I recognize (other than those cigars he can't identify) would be more useful buried at the base of his mom's rose bushes to prevent aphids from attacking than smoking. Except the Acid's, of course - he can use those in his underwear drawer to give a "manly" scent to his tighty-whiteys.

    That would be helpful - it appeared Jimmy was being reactive to Kevin's post.

    ...so who's going to follow up with Jizz's original question? I'm fairly certain he's going to leave our board if we don't come through. And I will so miss him...

    I dunno, Kevin - you're being awfully generous. That collection MIGHT have been worth $34 up until jizz put all of his collection in the humidor with Acid's. I'm thinking there's been a pretty signficant decrease in value since that time.

    Oh. And I thought I was being merciful. I've failed once again. The Good Sisters will be so disapointed.
