    If the term "silver" isn't used in the title, it can be fairly presumed that........ I seriously doubt anyone was confused as to what cigar I was referring to. If there was some confusion, surely someone would've posted making the same point. But that didn't happen, so....... Even the newbs knew better.

    don't mean to bust your chops, but until conventrycat's post, i didn't know there was a gold and silver. i did assume it was the gold one because thats all i knew existed. i've never seen a silver. and how do you know the newbs knew what you were talking about? none besides me posted in this thread.

    As an attorney I agree with the necessity for clarity and specifics in all cases . . . and in that vein I agree with CCat.

    Although . . . with regard to this thread I agree also with SFG75 in that generally when reading about or discussing the Torano Exodus line the Gold line is generally presumed when the term Exodus is mentioned alone. Whenever I have seen the Silver line discussed it seems there is always a point to specify Silver. Why this is I do not know. This seems a bit odd. Why not mention both every time?

    Oddly enough I, for some reason, knew he was reviewing Silver as well. As for me I prefer the Silver over the Gold . . . better flavor and much more smooth for my liking, though the Gold was still a good cigar.

    As stated in the review, it was a bit pungent. I'd dare say tha tI was tasting ammonia, but now that I think about it-the silver was a smoother cigar as you've mentioned.

    You are so full of shit it isn't even funny. You forgot to make the distinction in your review, I asked about it and you come back with your typical condescending double talk.

    "Surely someone would've (BTW WTF is "would've" you're making up words again you idiot) posted making the same point" Well look again Scotty, two people did indeed do that.

    You are such an asshole.......

    Soctty, I actually enjoy it immensely when you make asinine posts like this because you only strengthen my point that you are one of the biggest pieces of trash to ever post on an internet BB. Keep up the good work.

    When you say it, you're actually saying "would have" but it sounds phonetically like "would've" but "would've" is definitely NOT a proper contraction like you're is to you are or they're is to they are.

    Hey, I could be mistaken, it certainly wouldn't be the first time and definitely will not be the last. It just seems to me that I remember somewhere along the way that it's not a proper contraction.

    I just asked a real smart guy here at work who won six figures on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and he says would've is okay so I was wrong, sorry Scotty.

    Wow, wish I knew someone who was on that show. The popular culture questions always got me on that one.

    No one has posted saying: "I thought you were reviewing the silver." That's the fact-pure and simple. If someone does not know that the silver line even exists, that still doesn't prove your point. As a matter of fact, it proves mine.

    lets say you smoked a MC white #2 and made a review and called it an Moncristo #2. 6 months ago, i didn't know jack about cigars. i wouldn't know that you smoked a white label. not that it really matter in the scheme of things if i know what you smoked. but that's the point of writing a review - so people who haven't smoked those are don't know about them will have an idea what a cigar is like. not trying to frued or anything, just my $.02.

    Excellent point, just glad that you still knew what cigar I was talking about.

    Scotty he did NOT know what cigar you were talking about. Here's what he said:
    don't mean to bust your chops, but until conventrycat's post, i didn't know there was a gold and silver. i did assume it was the gold one because thats all i knew existed. i've never seen a silver. and how do you know the newbs knew what you were talking about? none besides me posted in this thread.
    All you're doing is proving my point which is that you didn't properly specify which cigar you were reviewing. This is so typical of you. When I brought the matter to your attention, you should have said, "Oh, I meant the Silver" but no, you have to act like a complete asshole and dig your heels in even when other people are pointing out you were wrong.

    Truly amazing.......

    I'm confused, SFG - which cigar were you reviewing??? Also, you might want to consider that maybe you got a lot of "that's nice" views, without any response.

    But CC makes a great point - you probably should be a little more specific in your description in that you knew (or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN - right jaewing) that there would be confusion, considering the lines are so closely linked (the bands and the viotlas are nearly identical)...

    Yes George, you are ultimately an unbiased source in this dispute. No, I shouldn't have been more specific. Everyone knew what I was talking about and no one said they thought I was talking about the silver. There is no confusion here, nor is anyone trying to solve it genuinely. This is just one more little dig aimed at me on the part of someone else purely for the sake of it. If anyone doubts that, they haven't been paying attention to this board for very long.

    Oh Bill, the falacious points that you attempt to make are truly getting tiresome. Evidently you believe that if you repeat it long enough, that folks will just agree. Here's a brief refresher:

    1.)Hex "got it." He offered to do a box-split with anyone and posted this link : http://www.caminoviejo.com/store/cat...xodus-1959.htm Take a wild guess as to which cigar he knew I was referring to. Go ahead, take a guess...... Click on the link afterwards. BTW-funny how the link doesn't have the word "gold" in it isn't it?

    2.)Drake "got it" and posted this:
    i did assume it was the gold one because thats all i knew existed.
    Questions-Does Drake say that it is the gold or silver that he assumed I was talking about? If the gold is the only one he assumed that existed, how does prove that he thought it was another cigar?

    3.)Jaewing evidently "got it" when he made his post.

    Three people other than you and George responded-all of them "got it," only you didn't. George piped in because he's your bud over at Snobs and CP. Not one of them thought I was talking about another cigar. That's it, case closed.

    Why don't CC and SFG do a review of the dope they are smoking. My guess is it's Mexican Red Hair.
