Default Re: What is an Aficionado

VERY well said... exactly right. Most of us migrated from another site where one of the mantras was - "no cigar snobs." Smoke what you like...

Or as Lew Rothman, original owner of JRs is fond of saying...

"What's the difference between a $2 cigar and a $10 cigar? Eight bucks."

Here you can be a snob or a regular joe. You can smoke 5 cigars a day or 5 cigars a month. We don't care.

We're just glad you smoke 'em.

Not to sound like a broken record, but smoke what you like. And as far as I'm concernced there are no "cheap" smokes, only inexpensive alternatives. There is nothing I like better after a crappy day at work than to sit in my recliner and relax with a cigar and watch sportscenter. A cigar is all about relaxation and enjoyment to me. So go ahead and review the sticks you enjoy, because I can guarantee a lot of people here will read them. Who knows, they may like them too.

I enjoy reading reviews, both of cigars I've reviewed (to see what others thought of the smoke), and cigars I haven't tried yet. If I see some interesting flavors, I'll probably give that stick a try.
