Also, for anybody that's ever passed a J around in their youth(or the present ), isn't it frustrating when you put the J to your lips only to find somebody has slobbered all over it? This is my dilemma with the PPF.

Enlighten me, please.

Yep, and perhaps your circle of friends needs a towel?

I just wanted to see what the fuss was about with the PPP, as I had never heard of it in the cigar world before.

Regardless, your response really rubbed me the wrong way, and I don't appreciate being talked down to.

..and you ignored my Japanese, which was polite by the way.

It sounds like you have a paradigm you either want to change, or reinforce, and uh... sometimes I am at a lack of understanding, being pretty tactless myself.
I am trying to be polite and tactful in English, as I am not fluent in Japanese.

Sometimes when someone is coming across as arrogant, a quick pm defuses the situation quickly, especially when you suddenly realized "Oh Crap, I think that may not have come across as I would have wanted it to." I've done it. Hell, maybe I am doing it now.
