far from an elitist. if im to spend 3 to 7 on cigars its a 5er, so i guess i should have been more clear with my original post. i was just curious as to what people smoke on a daily basis that will not break the bank. im not sure how im playing with fire but if asking questions to make my spending more efficient, then so be it.

Boo-Frickety-Hoo…if you cannot afford to smoke cigars…too bad.

I can't afford driving a Lamborghini! You don't see me crying about how the rest of you do and where you bought one on the cheap and how I need one of you to give me yours because I really deserve it.

Been here for so long that I can "smell" the pattern. It's been played before. The "I'm a good guy…my buddy is down on his luck" sad tale. Gimmie gimmie and then they split.

Life sucks. Wear a helmet - Denis Leary

The poster gets sympathy…many reach in their collection to cheer someone up only to be taken advantage. They disappear after they get what they want. Instead of using the site to enhance their knowledge…using the Search button is the 1st f'n step! There's very few topics that haven't been covered here!…Instead of finding their own footing they want to bust in like they own the place with their mooch buddies in tow proclaiming how "good" they are and how deserving they are and it's all going to a good cause. Maybe. Who knows. It's like defining "Beauty" to me.

For those that stick around…they're rewarded with real friends that will last a lifetime. A friend that will be there in times of gladness and in sadness. This community means more to me than some cigar grab. If your mooching friend…and YOU brought him here…is wanting knowledge…why aren't YOU giving it to him? This community is as good as it's members and behaving the way YOU are…telling others to dig deep and give…even after YOU let this great guy take take take from you…we don't operate like that. You might get some peeled off to give you free stuff, but this site isn't about getting free stuff. Can't deal with it? Too bad. Take the game somewhere else…it's been played out here.

Laughed my ass off when Numi called the good doctor 'eloquent' recently.....however....I did read the above and I have to admit that it is.....maybe not eloquent, but a good summation for many who have been here a while and seen the play before. I returned to forum a dozen times without posting....but it's been tempting. I had exact same reaction to OP as soon as I read it.

Get off my lawn. Did you hear me? I said get off my lawn now.

Obviously you and your mooch act…gotta go. Take your buddy too…after you get what you came here for…OBVIOUSLY!


If you have to make a claim that you and your buddy are such great peoples…you're not.

Others can see the forest for the trees. They're quite capable of making their own judgement. Thanks for removing ALL doubt for me though!

illi i just kind of wanted to give a little bit of background info on myself, not looking for pity points. and i did search afew things before posting but had problems with the seaech engine. i figured the next beat thing is to ask people that have experienced many types of cigars, what there reccomendations would be. i actually got alot of good replies and have found some good sticks(according to some of the posts here) at great prices. so i do thank all of you for the great posts and to the others, you are reading to deep into what i said. thanks
