No it doesn't, but it adds experience that can be combined with your long time education and life experience. . .
If you were here longer you'd recognize there is a reason all the fog's don't start a lot of threads about good cigars that can be purchased here at reduced prices.
There are many who read these posts, but don't post/contribute on the forum. They see the great review from a poster and think, now here's a bargain to bid on. Creating a new demand for the cigar(this forum is the best advertising cigarbid could possibly have at times). New demand, finite supply = increased prices (but I'm sure you already new that. . . 🤦 )
Ok, rant over, off my soap box.
Go back to discussing the cigar, which is perfectly fine to do here, and they are great value cigars.
damn, can't believe I had to defend Jade#-o 🤦 [frypan] [frypan]

I don't need to be here a long time to realize there are selfish "vets" that value
saving themselves a few pennies much more than sharing good information with others - especially noobs, who are looking for a vet's input to get them started in this hobby without being left to waste time and money
of their own.
I'm not a kid, and I've been on other forums (I moderate one in fact) where noobs are taken under the wing of an "older" member and given advice on what to get and what to avoid - IN the forum, not in PMs or secrecy. That builds the comeraderie and integrity of the forum. It makes it a positive place to be. It draws more members - that stick around because of what the forum has to offer, not where you fit in or how much b@llbusting you can take/dish out.
Apparently, some of the members of this forum would prefer it to NOT be conducive to the sharing of knowledge and helping of new members (the future of this hobby/industry). It's bad enough the places we can smoke are being taken away by the tree-huggers without being driven away by "our own kind".
I've read flames on members/noobs that were "mooches" because they didn't PIB when given something. There will always be people like that and time weeds them out. But maybe they were
driven out quickly because it seems very few older members want to PIF unless it's for an established and accepted veteran b@llbu$ter in this forum.
Yes, it's a great idea to come in here and bust each others b@ll$ but not share info on a great deal on a good cigar. I gotcha. It IS, after all, a public cigar forum - for now. Maybe, with a little more effort, you can make it the private good-ole-boys club that you intend it to be.
