The Slope...

zemekone · 11-08-2008, 08:51 AM

*imported from somewhere else*

Yesterday my cousin I were chillin and he ses "Lets go smoke a cigar!"
I was like "Hell yeah!"
I then asked "what decade?"
he ses "are u serious?"
I say "YuP!
he then asks "WHO DID THIS TO YOU?"

So my question to you guys: Who Pushed You Down the Slope? dosent matter which slope im just curious whos generosity was it. As for me it was Poker who gave me my first Davidoff and Club Epicure (yes my pallet wasnt ready for it). Goatlocker gave me my first sources... Cigarflip showed me the 98s and from there 90s to the 80s and the 70s; yes i know im doomed...

to sum it up... the Massholes. And they are helping me slide faster and deeper than I ever thought possible.

Bastages! I love you guys.

My brothers friend gave me a Swisher Sweet for my first cigar but I didn't like it. So I went into the humidor section on AR15.com and read different threads for a while. My first cigar was a Macanudo which I didn't care for.

So, I posted a thread asking what the Macanudo should taste like.... they all said it tasted like nothing

Some guy saw that I was NRA life member and he said "Send me your address, I'll put together a little package for you."

And that is where my downhill slide began....

I walked to the edge of the mountain...Then I jumped. I guess that makes me brave or very stupid. I've met a few friends while tumbling down the mountain.

I had been on the edge of the slope looking down Then Tobii came running up behind me and shoved me over the edge.

11-08-2008, 09:08 AM

Well I'm not a decade man yet but I am now fully on the dark side of the slope due to many here.

First off it was the board it's self. I found this place because I was looking to buy a few good cigars and VOLT would not allow that. But that's another story for another thread.

Raisin gave me my first ever CC bomb. Various smokes from various years.

Chibnkr has forever ruined me with a taste of Partagas from the 70's.

Silverfox has most definitely thrown me the furthest and fastest down the slope more than any other. The man has gifted me cigars that I would have otherwise never had. Thank you does does not do it justice.

Many others have gifted me many others and I truly thank you however the men above have had the BIGGEST impact.

One last thought. The "friend slope" here has really made the biggest impact in my life. If I could never have another cigar that would be OK because I still have this place and the people in it.

Thank you all for being you.

Who hasn't pushed me down that slippery slope! I think I need new acquaintances, but then what fun would that be?

Gargoyle · 11-08-2008, 09:58 AM

I got intersted in the dark side after being in a number of trades and PIFs... but I was launched down the slope for good after Stig's herf earlier this summer... they killed me!

Don Fernando · 11-08-2008, 10:03 AM

Say what???

I was happily enjoying my day on the slope, blowing smoke rings, when an out of control pilot, screaming at the top of his lungs, plowed into me, knocked my cigar out of my hand, broke my walker, shattered my dentures, fractured my hip, then drug my lifeless body down the hill with him!!!!

Yeah, the $600 man "running".....about as fast as molasses in the dead of winter......

Ahh, my pushers toward me demise would be the_dakotan, the professor, Mark_THS, Chip, icehog3... all contributors to my current state of despair

ucla695 · 11-08-2008, 12:59 PM

I kinda pushed myself down the slope. When I first started smoking, I really didn't know very many people who smoked cigars, so it was a solo venture. After I joined some forums, the more I learned, the more I wanted to smoke. Now, I've turned a lot of my friends on to them, but they're not on the slope yet. I still bring extras for them when we hangout, but they've exposed me to the slippery slope of wine.

DBall · 11-08-2008, 01:58 PM

Justinphilly launched me down the slope headlong... it was crazy, really.

NCRadioMan · 11-08-2008, 02:00 PM

Klugs and poker

Thank you very much you bastids!

dannyboy · 11-08-2008, 02:05 PM

Well, the first CCs I got were from ninjavanish and JustinPhilly, they were great, but I think that the collective discussion of cigars on here is what has done me in the most. I cannot log on without hearing about a cigar I need to try. I also have a friend here who is not on the board, but is giving me a big shove down the darkside!

11-08-2008, 02:07 PM

Nobody pushed me down the NC, slope. I found that on my own.

As far as Cubans go, Ji sent me CC's on you know where and I enjoyed them. It had been 7 years since I had a CC -- but, it was ultimately Bobarian, my good friend who shoved me down the slope and hard.

shilala · 11-08-2008, 02:19 PM

I kinda found the slope myself, walked up to the edge, looked over, tripped, and on the way down a couple hundred guys jumped on causing my speed to increase exponentially.
I'm teetering on the edge of the herf slope now. It's gonna be a hell of a ride.

shemp · 11-10-2008, 11:38 AM

Slope...what slope...i don't see any sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope My college buddies, and my good friend at church.

Mugen910 · 11-10-2008, 11:45 AM
