Alright fellas,
I've noticed lately that there's not nearly as much posting as there has been in the past.
I'm sure a lot of people read the boards and don't post for whatever reason. If you smoke something and like it (or don't) please post. Even if you think you can't review a cigar very well, please post your thoughts. I love hearing about a cigar. Even if I don't get that much info, it's great to hear what others are smoking. I couldn't tell you how many cigars I've tried because I've heard it mentioned on the board. I can't review a cigar for squat either so please don't let that stop you. I couldn't tell you if a cigar tasted of a hint of orange peels if someone put a gun to my head.
If you're new to the boards, it'd be great if you posted an intro in the "New? Introduce Yourself" Stickie on the bottom of the page. We'd love to hear about a new BOTL or SOTL that's just started visiting here.
If there's a cigar you want to try, please post it on the Trades thread. There's plenty of extremely generous BOTLs and SOTLs that will be happy to introduce you to that special cigar that you'd love to try. You might even find that there's one or two cigars that tag along.
If you've been on the board for a while and haven't posted lately, please do so. I know of a LOT of people that used to post a lot and haven't done so lately. You guys are such a precious resource of cigar knowledge for us noobs that have not been smoking that long. I'd love to hear more.
If you're hesitant to get involved in the PIFs, jump in! I've tried so many great cigars just because I got them in a PIF. Even if you don't think you smoke quality sticks and it wouldn't be a welcome addition to someone's humidor, please don't let that stop you. Just going to the mailbox and seeing a package sitting there...it's almost like a birthday present. And being able to introduce someone to a cigar that they may not ordinarily buy for themselves is gift enough in itself.
If something's just on your mind, post it in the Non Cigar Related section. There may be people who agree with you and some who disagree. What's important is that we're talking.
If you drink with your cigars, even better. Post about your libations here, too. A great deal of the fun about smoking is pairing it with a great drink. I've learned so much about scotch, bourbon, beer, etc. that it does nothing but enhance the experience.
I was so new to cigars when I first started posting, it wasn't even funny. I've learned so much about cigars, booze, and most importantly, the people here, that my time here has been one of the best things I've done. In summary...if you're new, please post. If you're not, PLEASE post. If we don't post here, the board will die. And with it, such an important wealth of knowledge. If you've gotten to the end of my alcohol-induced diatribe, thank you for your time.
