When I arrived at the site I never noticed a sign or banner indicating that one needs to announce thmselves & explain why they are here or what their experience is in the subject, it was my understanding that it was a place for like minded individuals to share ideas.
Now in response to all of the iceholes, that accused me of being a mooch, I have stated that I am new to cigars & have learned that most likely that this is as one might say this "the wrong crowd"to associate with. I was told early on in life only a fool turns down a gift, & never costs a nickel more to ask.
I am new to cigars.
Smoking killed my father.
I thought I would never smoke,
I am now in my forties & tried one the other day & liked it.
I have used numerous message boards in the past pertaining to various specific subjects, & was never asked to state my qualifications for being here.
People complain about a lack of posts & I ask a genuine question, people jump on me worse that stink on shit.
An directly to bigpoppapuff - Why should one not walk into a room & think that every one is your friend, it is that way where I live. I am sorry to hear that where you live everyone is a cold hearted SOB that will stab you in the back & rape your dead body before it is cold, before I leave this board, just let me know where you live via a PM so that I will know to never go to such a horrible place.
OK Dr. Jeff here is the way it is. This place is a community. We know each other. We contribute to the board. We do not know you. You have made no effort to introduce your self properly. You have jumped on every recent post for free items.
You have contributed nothing and have asked for plenty. What did you expect??
Unless you wish to contribute in a positive manner then you need to get the fuck out before you make a bigger asshat of yourself.
If you wish to contribute hang around. I would like to give you a second chance. It's up to you.
Whoops! Now you're gonna have to apologize for being such a dipshit fuckup. That's the thing about many folks - they walk in with an expectation that they can ask for shit and be welcomed with open arms. Yeah, you had the expectation that your "requests" would be considered w/o any regard to your own lack of reputation on this board, much less contributions of any kind. Now, I don't know how your world works but this ain't it. If you want to stay, you're going to have to nut up and stop being such a stupid fuckbag with a bullshit sense of entitlement.

My daddy told me first impressions are impressions we can never repeat. And I think my statement trumps your statement....![]()
Based upon what I've seen thus far, I honestly don't think you have what it takes no matter how much you try to spin it another way. But I guess you can always prove me wrong, can't you...![]()
i guess the question has been answered........buh-bye!!!!...![]()
You may not have noticed any sort of "formal rules" when you joined this site. I too am new to this site but did view the post for some days before posting. It seems to me that it is a Common Curtsey for your first post to identify yourself and tell the members of this board who you are and what you like. This generally allows persons to get to know someone as I, and others, may consider it rude to just walk in on a party where you know no one and don't make an attempt to tell people your name or who you are. The Board is much the same, it is polite to greet people, though there is "no written rule" much as many things in life.
I would suggest that if you do feel like continuing to be a member of the board to look at some of the advice out there for new members. I realize there is plenty of advice out there and that you may not listen or agree to everything but it wouldn't hurt to look at it in order to develop a sense of the board and act accordingly.
I also believe we are all adults here and insults in retaliation seem to get no where on this board much as in life.
I am new just as you are and am sure I may piss someone off on this board at sometime just as it seems you have. If I were in your postion I would take the above advice, appoligize and just forget about it. Everyone has there right to an opinion weither wrong or right and everyone makes mistakes.
Just a note that can't you see how these people have formed this impresion on you? Trust and respect are earned they not freely given out. In this day and age everyone should be careful especially with dealings over the internet where people are hundreds or thousands of miles away. You may consider this a bad thing but skepticism is a necessary evil.
Well thats just my advice, take it or leave it.

Dr. Jeff,
From your wonderful and obviously well thought answer in "Screw you all" you have vast amount of experience on Message Boards and you would know that you don't..
A. Log on and ask for anything in any nature until the community gets to know you and you have been boards for a while...HOWEVER /cough
Your first post on Cigar Smokers was in the Newbie Sampler Thread....
Now, ironically, if you would have read the first post in that thread it would have explained the rules. But, you know that with seeing you have "used numerous message boards in the past pertaining to various specific subjects". So I shouldn't have to explain that.
Now in response to your statement "Now in response to all of the iceholes, that accused me of being a mooch"
These "Iceholes"...as you like to call them have a little evidence...lets look on your last 10 posts.
Response to "Have any x-tra 5 count cedar cigar boxes"
Oh, and this was your second post on this board...BTW.
Response to "Too many cigars"
Third post on this board for you...
Hmmm....
Oh, this one is a classic I would have to say.
Response on " New and Improved Newbie Sampler thread!"
Now, what is ironic is you responded to thread that the last post was two months ago!![]()
Of course... you with your experience on "numerous message boards in the past pertaining to various specific subjects" would have noticed that it was dead thread.
Ohhh and that was your fifth post!
This is even better...Your sixth post, in response to a Birthday Bomb...
Ohhhh and that thread was THREE MONTHS OLD!! Oh wait, since you have vast amount of experience...you would have noticed that to...
Ok, lets see...
Response to Cigarsarges post "Free Smokes"
And this post was how old....to quote Keven Spacey "wait for it..."
FIVE MONTHS OLD!!!
"Iceholes"= 1
You = 0
B. Every message boards ask for some sort of intro...
However, you log on the boards and just start asking for smokes. No where do I see a post that says..
Hello, I'm Dr. Jeff and I'm new to Cigars...I've tried ect ect ect...any advice....
But, seeing that you have experience on "numerous message boards in the past pertaining to various specific subjects" you would have known to do something like that.
So, what are we saying. Get theoff our message boards.

hahahaha. man this is some funny stuff. man am i glad that i looked around here for about a week before i joined and put in my 2 cents. being a VERY frequent forum user, (as my background check has shown, haha), you tend to catch the drift of how things go on forum site.
the thing i see wrong is that he asked for free stuff, not that there wasnt free stuff for the taking, but that he asked first (a few times) before even saying hello. one would think, maybe its just me, but you generally introduce yourself when you walk into a "room" full of people that you dont know.

New to the cigar world. Trying to find some good smokes
Another of my passions is jeeps/wheelin
Now you went and done it!!!!!! I gave you an out and you didn't see it. Then you call me an Icehole. Ma$$hole would be more adequate as I was born there. Don't know if you can correct yourself now. I myself came on to the board a bit rocky and these guys gave me an opportunity to correct myself. They are a good bunch if you give yourself the chance. If not![]()

I went to the Little Smoke this last fall, at a restaurant near Milwaukee - first year I've done that - at the urging of some good friends who told me it would be a great time. Entry fee was a paltry $120 per person - which included a dinner and huge bag full of smokes as you walked in. The various manufacturers sponsored tables - and depending on where you were seated, you got various "goodies" put out by the manufacturers. They even had a silent auction to raise funds for a local charity. To be honest, $120 was nothing - I walked out with well over $200 worth of cigars - and had a very nice dinner on top of that. Plus - I had the pleasure of smoking cigars with some very incredible people!!
But then there's the dark side... I shoulda known the event was too good to be true. While I was chatting with the Oliva rep, with my wife seated a short distance away - some schmuck walked over to our table - opened up MY portable humidor - and helped himself to an Anejo. Now mind you - you could not even mistake my beat up plastic portable humidor for one of the boxes of cigars left at the table. Even if you were a totally dummy - opening it up would have given a clue that something was amiss (there was a varied selection of cigars, some with hand written bands)....
But, wait - there's more. At the end of the evening I learned that one of the "guests" had snuck out with two large cardboard boxes of cigars and lighters a rep had brought with them. Several hundred dollars worth of goodies, taken by one of the "guests". There was no mistaking these two boxes belonged to someone, and were not there for the taking - unless you felt entitled, I suppose....
Then there was the silent auction. Someone apparently felt the wine that was being auctioned was a give away as well - they spirited away 5 or 6 bottles of some pretty expensive stuff...
Well - now there's serious doubts there will be a little smoke next year, given what happened. Pretty doggone sad, I gotta tell you...
So I'm left wondering - who is Dr. J? I know so very little about him - and he wants to remain mysterious to us...
....and did he possibly attend the Little Smoke last year?
