What ya guys think on these

Taboo makes very good quality cigars. Not all fit my flavor preferences, but I've never had one that was poorly made. Very good value for money too. I particularly like the Dominican Maduro.

On sending cigars to troops? I did not have any to send, so why would I read on it. I'll read on it when I want to/can take part in it.

To educate yourself on what and how we do things here. The best advice I ever received is to read everything on the board because you will learn much more than you thought you ever would, simply by accident. Example: if you search for something and don't get exactly what you are searching for, read it anyway. There is a great chance you will learn something before you even think to ask.

MrOneEyedBoh · 09-28-2009, 10:46 AM

ITs all good. Internet tuff guys. I dont come here to start anything, its them on me. Its whatever tho.

Thanks for the advice, I see now... I'll just read it like you said even if I dont need it. Thanks NCRadioMan

For the record, we are not internet tuff guys. Far from it. We are a family here and we are trying to get you to think for yourself and not have to hold your hand through every step of this hobby. Almost every question you have asked has been asked and answered many times. I think we have been very patient trying to help but there comes a time when jr. must spread his wings and fly. So fly, research (which is half the fun, imo) and have fun with this obsession of ours.

The administrators have to monitor every post in every thread. They've seen certain questions a million times This one can finished easily. First just let it go. Secondly keep monitoring the threads and read past threads (you will eventually is see the same questions asked several times). Finally come up with a new good question that's never been asked.

MrOneEyedBoh · 09-28-2009, 12:28 PM

I know I see what radio was talking about. I'll just go and read everything even if it doesnt pertain to what I'm looking for.

TheTraveler · 09-28-2009, 12:42 PM

I don't think anyone is trying to be mean.

I think I know how you're feeling ... new to cigars and trying to make intelligent purchases instead of just buying one of everything. If you're like me you've got to stretch those dollars as far as you can. But I originally ran into the "kid in the candy store" problem - that looks good, no wait that looks good too, oh wait these look awesome, ooh what's that in the corner, and on like that till I almost had cold feet about buying anything.

Anyway, the best you can do is read as much as reasonably possible, find something on sale (or not) and take the plunge. Seriously, there are probably 500 different maduros out there and by the time you read about ALL of them and made your decision they would be discontinued!

As for the other knowledge to be found here, NCRadioMan is right. Searching for one thing can lead you down the breadcrumb trail of knowledge to nuggets you never even considered! That's just part of becoming knowledgeable about a hobby and THIS place is the best on the net for having a good knowledge base and knowledgeable smokers (FOGs are your friend!).
