Hello. I'm Calvin, this is my first post. I saw that this is where you're supposed to introduce yourself. I'm 25, been smoking cigars for 20 months now. I'm 20 months sober, and I wanted something to use as a placebo for drinking. I must say that I love it, and there's something unexplainably soothing about relaxing with a cigar that has nothing to do with the nicotine. I smoke a lot, and I prefer medium-full to full bodied cigars. My budget is SERIOUSLY limited, and I want to get involved in this forum and get some recommendations and tips to advance my cigar repertoire. When I say that my budget is limited, just to put it in perspective, I "splurged" on some Diesel's recently for 3$ a stick in the miscollections section. (They're in my coolerdor since arriving earlier today, and I'm excited to try them next week). I'm aware that I'm going to be limited by my budget but I'm looking for advice from those of you who used to live in this type of way. Just a few questions:
How does this forum work?
What topics should I be reading about?
How do people advance their knowledge in here?
Where do I start?1 -
Welcome. Read the stickies, ask questions/ or search function, google.
Save your money back. It may be hard if you smoke a lot but worth it.0 -

How do people advance their knowledge in here?Read, don't believe any of it and smoke the cigars that look interesting and decide what you like.
Where do I start?You already did.
Mostly, just enjoy what you like and go from there.
There is no "rules" to the way you want to enjoy cigars.
Those "rules" are for arrogant snobs.
There are suggestions to help you get more enjoyment out of your cigars, but if you want to bite the end off your cigar and smoke it, have at it, although a cutter makes it a lot nicer to smoke. LOL!Oh yeah, almost forgot.

Oh!
Most contests and that sort usually have their rules of the contest, but the standard is X amount of posts and on good trader list.
The Newbie trade thread is pretty much set up for getting a person on the good trader list.
Ask for a sponsor and work out the trade details and you ship first.
When they receive their end, they ship.
If all works out properly, they announce you on the good trader list.In Fumo Pax

Rules are usually on the first page. Almost all will say to be on the good traders list.
To get on there go to the newb trade thread (search). Post you want to do a trade.
Keep in mind most of the contest here if you win you are up next to carry on the contest and mail out a prize to the winner.2 -
I see. Makes sense. Ok that's good to know. I don't think I want to trade just yet then as I have nothing of appreciable quality, I'll just stay away from those topics.0

FYI Here is the link to the Good traders list.

I think he’s talking about “Yakster said:Still anyone's guess, but I want to remind anyone of the rules "Contest for forum regulars/good traders."”. However, if that is passive aggressive and telling someone to EFF off I would still tend to agree that perhaps his skin is a little thin. I don’t think there’s any harm meant Calvin it’s just the way we play to keep from getting taken by some of the drifters that come through here.Cigars were made to be smoked, whiskey was made to be drank and women were made to be loved. The only thing I try to age is myself.2
