[SerieT]

its a shame that some people just don't have any class now and days

If you want a magazine go to Cigar Journal.

If you want a forum go to FOH.

Let's not give this issue any more weight than it deserves. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, no matter where they stand.

I started over there like most people do as it's usually the first one to Come up when googling for answers when you just start out, but thank god a BOTL turned me in this direction. While I did learn a lot for the people there it was only handful of them. And they know who they are. Lately I must check up there to see if anything interesting is discussed or if there is actually any cigar talk, but nope, just arguing with each other about politics or anything else that will start a debate.

Basically, forget that board, this place is better in so many ways, so don't fix what ain't broken.

Rob, hope you told him to go moderate himself...

I know I am not a long standing member here but one thing is for sure, something is not going to get renewed....

[srbbones]

Not sure what you are all talking about, as I go to this website FAR more often than the other mentioned. 'Nuff said!

I came across CA many years ago during a trip to London, at the lovely cigar shop at Harrods, which unfortunately was relocated since, what caught my eye was the cover which had Fidel Castro on, I still own that issue, moving forward it stopped being a magazine about cigars it turned into an Ad. board for expensive gadgets.

[Squarehead]

I let my subscription expire earlier this year after over 15 years and I think next in line is their forum.Just can't standing any longer.

My father thinks it's a waste of money, and really stupid, that I buy freshly roasted coffee from a local roaster. He thinks the stuff in the supermarket in cans is just as good. There's no point trying to change his mind.

Sometimes a person can be a jerk without intending to. Of course it's insulting to be told by your father that you're doing something stupid and wasting money. But he just believes that I'm paying extra money for nothing. I used to get offended over things like this, but I think there's a distinction to be made between ignorance and assholery. In some cases the line is a fine one, and sometimes reality may be on one side or the other without any detectable difference.

If someone really believes that buying cigars blind is equally likely to produce good cigars, than any premium paid to a tobacconist for selecting cigars is, for them, a waste of money. Trying to change their mind is pointless.

And there is Nothing wrong with this.

We are all grown adults and have the choice where to spend our hard earned money.

I love Dunkin Donuts brand coffee. Just like Cuban cigars, the coffee has it's own distinctive taste that I have grown to love and I am willing to shell out the extra money for it versus some canned stuff from the local grocery store. Different strokes for different folks!

I was subscribed when C.A. frist came out, Bravo, They were the only ones to do It . But today,I don't play golf nor do I collect

cars and watches.I stoped getting It because It does not reply anymore to my needs plus It talks less and less about Cigars .

And about their forum ? FORGET IT !!!!! .It ain't Worth much anyway . So, Don't worry about It.

[Guest rob]

I'll take my post off topic.

How anyone believes that taking two interstate flights, taxi fares, accommodation and time in order to go and hand select stock is not a reason to charge more....well thats beyond me.

Perhaps Czar should have a slightly cheaper category called LD - Lucky Dip, which is for sealed unopen stock.

Anyway, I don't think he, or anyone here needs to defend the Prez's integrity. It is 'taking the bait' to do so. Disengage verbal (or written in this case) back and forth and let it die.

I too love DD coffee! There's some acidic/alkaline flavour about it that makes me like it, I think! Need to stock up next time in in the US and A. Oh, Peets is nice too!

[vondegroot]

I assume this mention of the Czar is in the Nov/Dec Issue which I don't have yet?

[Hiroshiro]

I Did the 6 month free trial. I'll make sure not to renew

[Rushman]

Someone wise once told me "you can't fix stupid"

I feel at home here, as I think most of us do. I'm in no need of any other forums and certainly don't care to spend the time reading backhanded (or front handed) comments about someone I know to be a good man and a place I know to be the best at what it does.

Pres's new beard is coming on a treat!

I do not know what the guy said nor do I care. Rob is the best and in my opinion and no one provides high quality cigars with better customer service.
