Happy Friday!  In fact, the last one before Christmas.  So hopefully there will be some great deals to be had on the various cigar sites.  Join in this discussion and share your knowledge with us.  Perhaps learn something along the way too.  Be warned, post on this site and you will catch hell from members and trolls alike.  Therefore, don't proceed if you have thin skin.  If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour a beverage and welcome aboard!
