    Haha, agreed! I'm brand new here as well and thought this would be a good thread to learn the rules... Learn by example (or lack thereof) I suppose!

    Maybe something about the unwritten rules, but not the ones plainly posted.

    Learned to try not to aggravate the community! I also learned not to suggest a cigar that the community doesn't like :P

    Some people walk into a room and see a crowd of noisy folks and assume the best approach is to make everyone aware they're there - others take the time to observe who's in the room and come to appreciate and respect the diversity of the group.

    Funny how those that turn their nose up often can't live with the wonderful beauty, harmony and diversity of the group and make it their mission to destroy that group like a clanging cymbal.

    Say what you want, recommend what you want, live as you would. But understand the community is seeing you for who you are and what you represent. And - will decide whether you should be integrated into the group, or dumped into the orchestra pit with all the other cymbal clangers.

    Having a personal preference for a specific cigar, or not, is very different from recommending cigars that are "newb friendly". Your suggestion could have been tongue-in-cheek, but since I don't know fuck-all about you I can't tell whether that is the case, or if it is just a shitty recommendation for an introductory cigar from a fairly inexperienced smoker.

    Perhaps in another couple of days when you've posted a couple of hundred times I'll have a better idea of which way to lean.
