You should see the size of that external butane tank. It's like a 55 gallon drum with backpack straps.

You can also disable the display of rep points from your user options, when this is done, you'll see a black square there rather than the rings.

They really don't mean anything. Anyone can give +/- rep on any post for any reason, so in reality, it's just a way of private messaging for a specific post.

You can see your rep points by clicking on the "User CP" link in the top bar.

I just "bumped" (gave positive rep) to your post so that can see what I'm talking about when you look in your CP.
Thanks Adam I got it now. I was looking all over trying to figure it out.

Heres a question for you guys. What is the etiquette for making returns on cigars ordered online for problems like wrapper defects like cracks and stuff like that. Do you send it back ever time or only if its real bad or just live with it? I have sent a few back but I'm not sure if its normal or I'm just being picky. TIA

Depends on the retailer, most will send replacements if you call. And many don't require that you return the damaged ones. I honestly haven't had issues with any online orders, the occasional wrong sticks sent but never had any damaged, might just be lucky. :2

1. I currently use matches or a pipe lighter to light my cigars. These work great in the garage, but less than stellar in the great outdoors. What lighters do you recommend and what should I look for in a butane lighter?

2. This one might be better as it's own thread. What are the origins of the groups I see around here? (Zombies, Mafia, others?)

Another option, and the one I use, it the Typhoon Triple flame. I picked mine up on Amazon about 9 months ago. I have had not issues with it.

Maybe it is me but if you are unsatisfied with the product you received always make contact with the retailer. I would be willing to bet that ALOT of larger retailers will atleast try and rectify the situation as best they can. Then again if you are not satisfied with the retailer just don't use them again.

I personally though have not had any issues so far with an online retailers messing up an order or sending damaged product. Granted I only have 10 or so orders under my belt as I am still figuring out what I really like so I visit a few B&Ms for a lot of my sticks.

Ok guys you have been great at answering questions. Here is on I have about a friend I have who I Am trying to get started smoking. Every time he smokes he gets sick (vomiting). Do you guys have any cigars you would recommend for a beginner that would be easy on his stomach?

Is he inhaling?

No he seems to be doing everything right. I gave him a 5 Vegas torpedo to smoke tonight thinking it would be pretty mellow for him but he still blew chunks

Too strong of cigars? Too much vitamin N? If he smokes mild cigars and still vomits either he in inhaling as Peter mentioned or he is just not cut out for cigars...they are not for everyone.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 
Well he says he isn't inhaling what mild cigars do you guys recommend? He likes smoking and wants to do it he just doesn't enjoy the after effect.

Maybe have him start with something smaller like a petite corona until he can handle that easier. Sugar also helps settle the stomach while smoking. Try drinking a cream soda or root beer (they seem to impact the flavor of a cigar less for me than other sodas) and maybe keep a few cookies or small candy bars on hand to munch on.

Good advice :tu

Maybe he's allergic, or there is some other reason he get's sick, maybe you shouldn't be so worried about getting him smoking cigars.

Is he diabetic? The already mentioned use of drinking a sugary drink or candy bar is because nicotine reacts with your blood sugar levels.

+1

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 
Thanks guys. Jason, he is not diabetic and Adam, I'm not forcing him or anything he wants to smoke. He usually has tried eating sugary stuff after smoking maybe having sugar while smoking will help. If all else fails he will have to try Mike's recommendation although I'm not too sure how they would burn :r:r
