New here. Should have come here first. Looking to learning from this group. Can't wait. Thanks for having me

Welcome to the forum. You’ve overcome the first hurdle which is having thick skin. Don’t take anything too seriously.

Where do you all buy from? Online? Cigar Page any good? Sometimes it feels too cheap from there? Or as if it was counterfeit if that's even a thing with cigars

This forum is hosted by an online retailer, so we do our best not to openly talk about other sites. Somewhere there is a list of several that someone posted. I don’t remember which thread it is in. Counterfeit is definitely a thing with cigars but it is usually done with ones claiming to be Cuban. And yes, that page is legit.

No, it's not worth it. Total waste of $125. Those cases are for people who want other people to ask about your total shitbag 2 finger case. No one here is impressed what so ever and most of us are thinking a $20 Herf-a-dor filled with $105 worth of good smokes would have been a better option. Sorry my friend. You came in hot and now leave ice cold.

If you can take that ^^ you'll be okay here.

Please forgive my forum brothers for being skeptical. You'd be surprised, maybe, at how many hucksters and grifters appear here with pictures of some kind of merchandise asking top dollar in hopes that someone will be trusting enough to send money for a non-existent bauble. Happens all the time. Makes us wary.

In case you didn't notice, this is a forum of cranky old men with a few tolerant young'uns thrown in. They, us. aren't likely to change. Don't take it personally, we are simply wary and weary.

If you are starting out with cigars - I may have inferred incorrectly, but if you are - this is the place to do so. I think most of us started smoking cigars at some point ;-) so we know something about that.
