What's up Brothers of the Leaf?! Some dickheads would say, "Join in this cigar talk with the rest of us assholes and get your balls kicked in if you say something we don't agree with! Don't dare make a grammatical error either or you'll be berated for the rest of your short-ass stay, GFYs!"  But Scott aside, this can be a fun and educational site where folks enjoy discussing cigars, booze, sports and just about anything under the sun.   Welcome aboard!
