Agree on all accounts. Except with biting Tom's bicep; that's just creepy...

Come on Stephen, I don't have time for handwritten notes. It'll be generically typed and mass addressed. You got any stamps?

Well I do, but they're not self-adhevise.

We used to get together at a buddies house to discuss guns and smoke some hooka, and one of the guys once said "When my friends come over they bring me expensive cigars". This was before I smoked cigars. I thought to myself what an asshole.

At the same place I had a guy bring a bag of cigars from one of the local B&Ms and offer them all up to anyone that wanted one. I chose one at random, as it was probably my first cigar that wasn't purple flavored. I offered to pay for it, but he told me not to worry about it.

Now, I bring my 15 count with me when we BBQ, the lake, or an outdoor event. I load it up with some shrapnels, or vanilla flavored cigars, a few Nica Libres or equivalent, a few of whatever I am smoking to share with those in the know. I let them pick. What they do with it is up to them.

I generally smoke cheap sticks anyway, as I am a frugal bastid.

Staying on topic.

I've got a group of buddies in town and we try to smoke weekly. One of the guys is a serious smoker, the others aren't really. Whenever we get together I always plan to give out 2-3 cigars. Even though they don't rant and rave about the flavor and construction, I still like to give them nice cigars than cheapies.

I've had 2 buddies (not apart of this group) recently become regular smokers and it was because they were given the good stuff by friends early on.

I'm good on cigars right now, but I could use a PS3. And a couple of games. Good ones, no crap.

I'm thinking of selling my XBOX360 games b/c my system got the red ring of death. Is this the correct thread to discuss that?

No PS3, but I have a broken NES system; will that do? Some good games there -- like Pilot Wings, Mario Kart and others that may or may not have water damage

Throw in Excitebike and this thread can be closed as far as I'm concerned.

I don't mind sharing. Part of the fun of cigars. I usually pack some good stuff and cheap stuff to have a variety. If a guy is inexperienced I will pick one for him. If it is family or someone who really appreciates what I have they get to pick. Nothing hurts more then seeing some guy take 2 or 3 puffs on a $10 cigar and snub it out like a cheap cigarette.

If anyone needs any I have some used underwear I wouldn't mind sending to someone here.

Pre skidmarked?

I guess my personal view is that I don't mind sharing a good cigar with a newbie.....to me, that is the appeal of cigar smoking (it's social interaction). You could also let someone take a few puffs and then decide if you want to give them one of their own. Puff puff give is how I roll. And yes as eluded to earlier, if you want your friends to jump off a large building in disgust, offer them anything made in the Acid line............just sayin
