The Virtual Cigar Community

Wow there are some strange cigar homes out there in the social world... I was added to one and have left after seeming to piss them off by offering up that there are very few absolutes in cigars other than "like what you smoke, smoke what you like"

Apparently there is a perfect temp, RH, and there is a best cigar in the world

Wow.

Must be that CigarWindbag.Com site. "We hate wisdom" is their motto.

People tend to find others whom share their level of incompetence, opinion or comfort zones on various subjects. Often, the louder they claim "awesomeness and openness" the more restrictive and inflexible the group actually is. One reason I have stayed here at CW, more than anywhere else, is because we compartmentalize issues/specific topics, each to their own room and thereby remain intact as a whole. So, there's a guy who thinks exactly the opposite of you on the topic of Emo Dance Politics? That's not a big deal breaker. Because in the real world what does that change? Not that much really. Because at the end of the day, we as cigars smokers are a relatively small and threatened group and we gotta stick together. That does not mean we all have to like The Insane Clown Posse. It just means that we can disagree without having a complete mental meltdown over little stuff......mostly. If you get bounced from here, you really had to try. Others leave for various reasons, but that's always up to each member. I have almost always liked the tone of the room here. We have a great space for cigars, family and all of the other shitte that surrounds the modern human animal. I guess I like the People, too.

That's why I call it Home.


Cheers!

That's how I've always felt about CW, Brian.

I got asked why I left today

I was then asked why I had joined a cigar community (its on F

I had not joined, I had been added, and did not intentionally join

I don't need to see pictures of what you are smoking today or read that yonly smoke limited editions

Smoke what you like, and like what you smoke...

It would be interesting to see who all has been banned over the years. But maybe a sore topic.

The real question and issue here is thus: Why have you been checking out other cigar forums?
