    101 Things Newbs Should Know

    In the Trade, Passes, and Bombs Forum, there are 2 threads "Newbie Trading Thread" for newbs looking to start trading. By wwestern
    Newbie Trading Thread

    And the thread, "Etiquette- Trades, Passes, and Bombs" by Madurofan
    Etiquette for Trade,Passes and Bomb Forum

    Please fill out your BIO it will help!!



    And Mike, to you and the other BOTLs, the question has recently come up (again) of how is a "noob" to know that CCOM is independent and not affiliated with any other online retailers, even if said companies share the same shipping warehouse addy?

    I personally made this "noob" mistake a few months ago of publicly asking about a competitor's deal since I did not know the company's were not related. So for all the new folks who don't know, could we maybe add something either here or to one of the other threads that says unless it has "Cigar.com" attached to the deal, that it's not from them and should not be publicly posted.

    Search Box & Private Messages
    Don't miss these two features. The Search Box in the top right corner of your screen ... it's not as precise as "Google," but there's a wealth of information in some of the older threads. So if you have a question about a specific topic be sure to utilize the Search Function ... you just may find the answer you're looking for. Please "bump" old threads so we can continue to add to those conversations. If not, please start a new thread with what's on your mind.

    And above the Search Box you'll find a link titled Inbox .... that's where you'll find your Private Messages (PMs). If someone tells you to check your PMs, that's the place to go. You can also send PMs to other users by clicking the "contact" button next to their name and selecting "send private message" from the drop down menu. by Jgibv

    It takes a while to refine your pallet. For me it takes a little effort to pull the subtle flavors. That is unless you get a cigar with a very pronounced flavor. For example, the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan. With every puff of smoke I can't help but think of a green grass burning or pistachios. The flavor of the Candela wrapper is in your face and over powering. It also helps to retrohale, blow the smoke out your nose. That way the smoke is fully coating your pallet. I'll warn you, with some cigars it is going to be like getting punched in the nose. Your eyes may water up and it can burn a little. But it allows you to pick up on some of the subtle nuances.

    Hope this helps a little.

    Joe.
    It takes a while to refine your pallet. For me it takes a little effort to pull the subtle flavors. That is unless you get a cigar with a very pronounced flavor. For example, the Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan. With every puff of smoke I can't help but think of a green grass burning or pistachios. The flavor of the Candela wrapper is in your face and over powering. It also helps to retrohale, blow the smoke out your nose. That way the smoke is fully coating your pallet. I'll warn you, with some cigars it is going to be like getting punched in the nose. Your eyes may water up and it can burn a little. But it allows you to pick up on some of the subtle nuances.

    Hope this helps a little.


    Thank you.

    And Mike, to you and the other BOTLs, the question has recently come up (again) of how is a "noob" to know that CCOM is independent and not affiliated with any other online retailers, even if said companies share the same shipping warehouse addy?

    I personally made this "noob" mistake a few months ago of publicly asking about a competitor's deal since I did not know the company's were not related. So for all the new folks who don't know, could we maybe add something either here or to one of the other threads that says unless it has "Cigar.com" attached to the deal, that it's not from them and should not be publicly posted.

    Search Box & Private Messages
    Don't miss these two features. The Search Box in the top right corner of your screen ... it's not as precise as "Google," but there's a wealth of information in some of the older threads. So if you have a question about a specific topic be sure to utilize the Search Function ... you just may find the answer you're looking for. Please "bump" old threads so we can continue to add to those conversations. If not, please start a new thread with what's on your mind.

    And above the Search Box you'll find a link titled Inbox .... that's where you'll find your Private Messages (PMs). If someone tells you to check your PMs, that's the place to go. You can also send PMs to other users by clicking the "contact" button next to their name and selecting "send private message" from the drop down menu. by Jgibv



    I have found my self monitoring these for the New guys and will continue to try and keep posted on the front page, thank you!!!! And Enjoy the forums BOTL!!!!

    The info & links below are a great place to start if you're new to the forums. And great "refresher" info for all you forgetful old farts like me LOL!

    And Mike, to you and the other BOTLs, the question has recently come up (again) of how is a "noob" to know that CCOM is independent and not affiliated with any other online retailers, even if said companies share the same shipping warehouse addy?

    I personally made this "noob" mistake a few months ago of publicly asking about a competitor's deal since I did not know the company's were not related. So for all the new folks who don't know, could we maybe add something either here or to one of the other threads that says unless it has "Cigar.com" attached to the deal, that it's not from them and should not be publicly posted.

    Please fill out your BIO it will help!!



    And Mike, to you and the other BOTLs, the question has recently come up (again) of how is a "noob" to know that CCOM is independent and not affiliated with any other online retailers, even if said companies share the same shipping warehouse addy?

    I personally made this "noob" mistake a few months ago of publicly asking about a competitor's deal since I did not know the company's were not related. So for all the new folks who don't know, could we maybe add something either here or to one of the other threads that says unless it has "Cigar.com" attached to the deal, that it's not from them and should not be publicly posted.

    Search Box & Private Messages
    Don't miss these two features. The Search Box in the top right corner of your screen ... it's not as precise as "Google," but there's a wealth of information in some of the older threads. So if you have a question about a specific topic be sure to utilize the Search Function ... you just may find the answer you're looking for. Please "bump" old threads so we can continue to add to those conversations. If not, please start a new thread with what's on your mind.

    And above the Search Box you'll find a link titled Inbox .... that's where you'll find your Private Messages (PMs). If someone tells you to check your PMs, that's the place to go. You can also send PMs to other users by clicking the "contact" button next to their name and selecting "send private message" from the drop down menu. by Jgibv
