    Dont worry about it. If you like cigars youll fit in just fine here.

    Its just that when you ask a question, and someone gives you an answer, you usually take that answer, not assume they are wrong.

    This forum has been the best thing since sliced bread since Ive started smoking cigars and Im sure youll start to love it too.

    With that, welcome to the board!

    Word of advice... don't buy cigars form a convenience store or a gas station. I wouldn't even buy them from a golf pro shop, bring your own. These are probably dog rockets in a pretty package. For $8 you can have a very good cigar, or 2 to 3 decent ones. If you're low on funds, buy some bundles from the sites BigPoppaPuff mentioned.

    A wiseman once said that this forum is the "Deadwood of fucking cigar BB's". Try not to get fed to Mr. Wu's hogs. Stick around, read up, use the search function, and learn along with the rest of us.

    Welcome from Canada, eh.


    I must say, that was a very smooth diffusing of the situation *shakes hand* Usually things go from bad to worse when a thread starts out like that

    Everytime I've seen one of those glass top boxes you showed in the pic - ANYWHERE (Golf Pro Shops, Convenience Stores, Hotel Gift Shops, etc.) I've seen nothing but overpriced cigars. Sometimes I've seen cigars I recognize at a 50-100% markup over MSRP - most other times they are cheap bundled cigars at a huge markup. Either way - many I've handled were pretty dry...

    BPP made some great suggestions - I'd suggest you give them a try if you're serious about wanting to smoke decent cigars at decent prices. If you stick around for any length of time, I think you'll find most of the members here to be great people with a varying amount of good cigar knowledge. Some will be like you - fairly new to the game - others will have been smoking cigars for a LONG time (including those elusive and forbidden products of Fidel Castro).

    And, on this board anyway, I really don't think you need to question what someone may say as being true or not - I assure you - if it's not true, you'll know...
