Boy, lots of newbies lately!! What happened?

Did a bunch of you just get released from some kinda newbie seminar or something?

Or did another competing website go under?

Oh heck, welcome! Hehehe!!

Also a note to go with keeping the lit end out...if you would happen to somehow drop the cigar DO NOT TRY TO CATCH IT. If you catch the lit end, it can be painful.

Merlin ... welcome to our corner of the world.

And, in answer to your next question (cello on or cello off?), the anwser is:

half of us say "on" half say "off" but nearly all of us advise taking it off BEFORE lighting the cigar ...

Steve, try leaving the cello on if smoking at night. The purple flame is a great visual.

Merl, welcome, you will enjoy the JDNAs.

P.S., don't ever say that vendors buy their ratings, even in jest. You'll be excoriated... Oh, and boycott the bucs... I hear they contribute heavily to the Dixie chicks, funded their European trip...
