/// It's hard to separate them, Joe.  I've learned about a lot about other interesting things on the banter, but usually the conversation comes back to cigars ... I wouldn't worry about it,  If someone doesn't want to read about the latest golf clubs, it only takes a brief glance to see what's being discussed and that person can avert their eyes.
Just like I do when I'm driving the ol' 18 wheeler and reading the banter.

Golf
-------------------------

On their honeymoon, the new husband told his bride, "I have a confession to
make that I should have made before, but I was concerned that it might
affect our relationship.

"What is it?" his new bride asked lovingly.

"I'm a golf fanatic," he said. "I think about golf constantly. I'll be out
on the golf course every weekend, every holiday, and every chance I get.
If it comes to a choice between your wishes and golf, golf will always
win."

His new bride pondered this for a moment and said, "I thank you for your
honesty. Now in the same spirit of honesty, I should tell you that I've
concealed something about my own past that you should know about. The
truth is, "I'm a hooker."

"No problem," said her husband, "just widen your stance a little, and
overlap your grip, and that should clear it right up."

Avi's Disabled!  Not to be grumpy but many Avi's are enjoyable and express thoughts, etc but when you use them that cause everyone at work and even at home for some to have to keep them hidden they become pointless.  Everyone has access to all the porn sites imaginable online to view things as desired so maybe everyone could "self police" themselves with a little restraint on the photos so we can all enjoy the avi's all the time!  Just my 2 cents worth.

I hit the Spectre deal there.  Had one courtesy of NJDave at our most recent herf in New Braunfels and really enjoyed it.  Different, but in a good way.  YMMV, etc.

Avi's Disabled!  Not to be grumpy but many Avi's are enjoyable and express thoughts, etc but when you use them that cause everyone at work and even at home for some to have to keep them hidden they become pointless.  Everyone has access to all the porn sites imaginable online to view things as desired so maybe everyone could "self police" themselves with a little restraint on the photos so we can all enjoy the avi's all the time!  Just my 2 cents worth.

I received PMs along the same lines.  Haven't really had time to process this and not sure what to do about it.  I definitely don't have the time, nor do I wish to, police the forum.  We're all supposed to be adults here.  I want to let this bake in a bit before I start making more changes.
I say let it stay as it is. Having to censor ourselves was one of the main reasons we were looking forward to getting away from CI's banter. If some of us can't have the avi's turned on, shouldn't be a big deal. We're here for the conversation, not for the little pictures. IMFO, no offense, etc.
Sometimes the conversation even approaches witty repartee

NOT AT THIS FUCKING SITE.  I WON'T STAND FOR IT!

Maybe with this new site everyone can stop swinging off CI's nuts.  And Cigar.com's.  And "the beard" and his dumb email deals.  CI fills a niche, but it's clearly the Walmart of the cigar world.  They've got the cheap shit, everyday stuff and the occasional deal on something nicer, but I've spent FAR more money over the years at Cigar Monster, Tampa Humidor, Atlantic, Holts, CigarsAtYourPrice.com, and various other retailers as sales pop up.

And have proper formatting for text.  And, once Tony gets to it, we'll have a forum proper for places to post stuff.  I don't think we need an off topic place--the daily thread would take care of that, but for specific cigar or beer reviews, herf meetup/picture threads, and such.

And best of all, it would stick around.  At least until the server crashes.  Wouldn't be wiped away with the daily reset button that CI has.

Oh, and we can cuss, too.

I have the same post count as JOE!!! Take that beyotch!

Well, hell.  We'll get the beer talk going soon enough. 9am on a Monday morning and I'm already thinking of doing some shopping.
I was having a VaS on the patio yesterday afternoon and couldn't decide what to smoke. I asked my wife to go into my humi and pick something, she came up with a Tat Black CG, said she liked the label

5 Vegas Gold, 'nuff said.

Maybe with this new site everyone can stop swinging off CI's nuts.  And Cigar.com's.  And "the beard" and his dumb email deals.  CI fills a niche, but it's clearly the Walmart of the cigar world.  They've got the cheap shit, everyday stuff and the occasional deal on something nicer, but I've spent FAR more money over the years at Cigar Monster, Tampa Humidor, Atlantic, Holts, CigarsAtYourPrice.com, and various other retailers as sales pop up.
-- All joking aside, we have the potential here to build something worthwhile.  The banter format is a good way to function - the conventional forum approach gets cumbersome and bloated. We only really needed a few more features than CI offered, and to get out from under the thumb of the arbitrary censor.  If Tony keeps it simple, the likelihood goes up that the major players here will stay involved.

Nice choice!  I had a Stone Collective Distortion IPA (9.3% ABV) bomber after a few whiskeys with dinner and fell asleep in my chair.

I drove out to the shop that had the VaS only to find they are out, saw that Stone Collective there. I bought the VaS marked 11/13 from my local place. Had another Horny Goat Choc PB Porter also, slightly less bitter than the SBJ with all the flavor

The Stone was interesting... with elderberry and coriander.  Not sure I could taste either of them in the beer but my wife said she could definitely smell the coriander.  She pulled some out from her spice drawer... still couldn't find it in the beer myself.  Tasted good which is all that matters.  Favorite beer of the weekend was Alpine Nelson.

More people leave than join.  Can't REALLY talk about deals out there (which I suppose is fair enough to expect, on their end), but it was always odd to be so limited.  Not that there aren't a hundred cigar forums out there already but they all just end up taking on a 'personality'... Puff.com is just pages and pages of ridiculous questions.  Really more of an introductory level place.  I'm also on Habano Forum but it's mostly cuban cigar talk. That's fine and all but since they're really only sold by the box, I don't sample through enough to actually talk about them on a daily basis.  And there are beer and whiskey forums but it usually ends up in people arguing with each other, which is about as pathetic as a person can get.

And you never will.  It's your site, do your thing.  If we don't like it, so be it.  We'll just start our own websites.  As for my feedback as it is now - it works similar to CI's banter and we don't have to censor ourselves so I like it.

And you never will.  It's your site, do your thing.  If we don't like it, so be it.  We'll just start our own websites.  As for my feedback as it is now - it works similar to CI's banter and we don't have to censor ourselves so I like it.
hey watch it on the start your own website, I can't even figure out Facebook most of the time yet.

Post by: A Friend of Charlie on June 02, 2014, 02:23:55 PM

Thanks to all of you for joining.  The goal of this site is to have a fun place for cigar lovers to share their thoughts on every and any topic; hopefully including cigars.

I apologize in advance for the very wordy post but I wanted to respond to many of the questions I received via PM, etc.

I know we all bitch and moan about the joecigar/cigarsintl banter but apparently there is something about it that we all love.  I tried to keep this forum very simple, in much the same vein.  It's about creating a community.  Cigarsintl has roughly 4500 members but there have been about 900,000 posts to date.  Cigar.com on the otherhand has nearly 4 times as many members but only a quarter of the posts combined within its many threads.  Not everyone is interested in every post and that's fine... Don't read 'em.  That's not to say that I won't create or give you the ability to create sub forums.  I'm just not there yet.

Work friendly avitars and language on the banter.  I don't have the time nor the will to police this thing.  Therefore, I ask that everyone act like a grown-up and police themselves.  If you're offended by the avvys, turn them off... I do.

I see this site coming together in phases and this is just the first one.  I'd like to create an area that resembles beeradvocate.com where each logged in user can lookup and review/rate a cigar.  I'd also like to have an area with all the coupon codes / free shipping codes and big cigar deals that are going on around the net.  And ultimately, I plan to record a weekly audio podcast.

I also understand the reluctance for some of you to have to start all over again with being a "newbie".  I offered the ability to change that and add the number of post you have on CI to this site.  No one PM'd me with regard to that and now I'm rethinking it.  This is a new thing.  Let the post whores emerge on their own.

Appreciate all the feedback and I know that I haven't been great about being timely, but we'll get there.

Seriously considered removing them all together.  And then there is the complete opposite approach where you can build your reputation based on "likes" and "dislikes" of your posts.  The truth is I thought you all would hammer me with "dislikes" so I scrapped that idea.   :D

  I don't think you should bother with sub-forums. What we like about the Banter is that it's a single channel of communication.  At any given time, someone may not care for the topic of conversation, but we like the people talking so we hang.  The problem with the world at large is that we have established so many options that no one ever has to listen to anyone say something they don't like.  You can change the channel, or you can go to a club that plays the music you like, or you can live your life in the blue light of a computer monitor and avoid real people.  But the inevitable result is boredom.  When you only listen to what's offered in the forum which you choose to inhabit, you inevitably get bored.  This group of people is one of two groups I bother with online.  The other is a bunch of guitar players that started out on an e-mail listserv talking about Mesa/Boogie amplifiers.  When that got stale it became a discussion of gear in general, and then we turned it into a Google group.  Like this group, it's a small group of mostly older guys with a lot of experience and expertise, who actually welcome new people even if we give them and each other a hard time.  And like this group - at least so far - each daily conversation is a single thread.  Personally, I think it should stay that way.  Ruthlessly simple, practical, and uncensored.

\\\\Damn! I actually have to agree with you, Bret.  ;)
  Sorry, I won't do it again.
Yeah you gotta be careful with that....

LOL, I also agree with what Bret said.  The reason regular forums get boring is because you only have to read about what you're truly interested in... and there's only so much 'new' stuff that can come up.  Random daily musings... ya never know.  But however it ends up, I'll post wherever everyone else is.  Here, CI's banter, whatever.  But I know how I am with these things and I'll only go with one daily cigar site.

I know we all bitch and moan about the joecigar/cigarsintl banter but apparently there is something about it that we all love.  I tried to keep this forum very simple, in much the same vein.  It's about creating a community.  Cigarsintl has roughly 4500 members but there have been about 900,000 posts to date.  Cigar.com on the otherhand has nearly 4 times as many members but only a quarter of the posts combined within its many threads.  Not everyone is interested in every post and that's fine... Don't read 'em.  That's not to say that I won't create or give you the ability to create sub forums.  I'm just not there yet.

  I don't think you should bother with sub-forums. What we like about the Banter is that it's a single channel of communication.  At any given time, someone may not care for the topic of conversation, but we like the people talking so we hang.  The problem with the world at large is that we have established so many options that no one ever has to listen to anyone say something they don't like.  You can change the channel, or you can go to a club that plays the music you like, or you can live your life in the blue light of a computer monitor and avoid real people.  But the inevitable result is boredom.  When you only listen to what's offered in the forum which you choose to inhabit, you inevitably get bored.  This group of people is one of two groups I bother with online.  The other is a bunch of guitar players that started out on an e-mail listserv talking about Mesa/Boogie amplifiers.  When that got stale it became a discussion of gear in general, and then we turned it into a Google group.  Like this group, it's a small group of mostly older guys with a lot of experience and expertise, who actually welcome new people even if we give them and each other a hard time.  And like this group - at least so far - each daily conversation is a single thread.  Personally, I think it should stay that way.  Ruthlessly simple, practical, and uncensored.
One happy customer!  I tend to agree.  As far as all the guitar stuff though... Zzzzzzzzz

First Competitors Deal Broadcast for the new site:   Of all the surprise places The Sister (Oh Yeah Cigars.com Daily Deal) has 601 Blues 10/$37.50 which is a pretty good deal these days.  They were on the Monster Mash (Famous Cigar Daily Deals) over the weekend 5/$29.95 which was not a deal even with all the recent price increases.

I hit the Spectre deal there.  Had one courtesy of NJDave at our most recent herf in New Braunfels and really enjoyed it.  Different, but in a good way.  YMMV, etc.

Funny I had the one NJDave gifted me there and tried it last week.  I agree it is interestingly different than any thing I have ever smoked.  Not bad for sure

I think everyone in favor of having only a single thread with no option for anything else is wrong. 

The daily banter thread would continue to be the primary mode of interaction between users.  The definition of a general mayhem forum.  Given the userbase it works very well.  But genmay forums have an absolute downside:  they're terrible as organizing information outside of that specific time. 

Example:  let's say we do another 777 Paka type herf and 10 of us smoke a cigar.  Everyone has thoughts, some even take pictures.  We all discuss the cigar on the July 13th daily banter thread.  By July 20th, no one knows where that information is and it far less likely to be brought up by a google search, etc. 

Now that discussion etc would still take place on a daily banter thread, because that's how this crowd rolls.  That's fine.

But exactly where is it an issue to have a dedicated reviews subforum where the full fledged reviews and photos of that would-be paka herf can be posted?  Want to go back and see pictures and read someone else's thoughts on a cigar?  Read the review they posted.  Not only is it easier than digging through a long, winding, daily thread to get bits and pieces of information, but it also allows that review and topic to be addressed and updated as needed (ie, for consistency or how aging how affected the cigar, or changes in factory, etc.) 

I'm not saying we should have a German sex toy sub and an interpretive dance sub and all that shit. 

But there is no reason to ignore the use and benefit of subforums as a whole.  And even if that's what you want to do, there is no reason to want everyone else to ignore them, too.

I think everyone in favor of having only a single thread with no option for anything else is wrong. 

The daily banter thread would continue to be the primary mode of interaction between users.  The definition of a general mayhem forum.  Given the userbase it works very well.  But genmay forums have an absolute downside:  they're terrible as organizing information outside of that specific time. 

Example:  let's say we do another 777 Paka type herf and 10 of us smoke a cigar.  Everyone has thoughts, some even take pictures.  We all discuss the cigar on the July 13th daily banter thread.  By July 20th, no one knows where that information is and it far less likely to be brought up by a google search, etc. 

Now that discussion etc would still take place on a daily banter thread, because that's how this crowd rolls.  That's fine.

But exactly where is it an issue to have a dedicated reviews subforum where the full fledged reviews and photos of that would-be paka herf can be posted?  Want to go back and see pictures and read someone else's thoughts on a cigar?  Read the review they posted.  Not only is it easier than digging through a long, winding, daily thread to get bits and pieces of information, but it also allows that review and topic to be addressed and updated as needed (ie, for consistency or how aging how affected the cigar, or changes in factory, etc.) 

I'm not saying we should have a German sex toy sub and an interpretive dance sub and all that shit. 

But there is no reason to ignore the use and benefit of subforums as a whole.  And even if that's what you want to do, there is no reason to want everyone else to ignore them, too.   
Well, the searching capabilities of this forum should mitigate the organizational issues of a single comms channel.

But, if the sub-forums are topic-limited, then I can agree with you.  A Reviews forum, maybe an Enabling forum with just deals and promo codes.  I could go for that.

There's technologically no difference.  The Banter on CI is just Forum software that has most of its features turned off or restricted. Philosophically, it's up to Tony (and us to whatever extent he allows) how this one is run.  Generally there seems to be a consensus that we don't want this to turn into a full-blown forum with sub-forums and sub-sub-forums.  Just needs a banter and maybe a couple of sub-forums for reviews and deals.  Maybe someplace to put pictures from meetups, herfs or CF.

I enjoy the organic nature the single thread idea has, but can see some benefits to both. If you get too sub-sub, then you are going to have Cigarbanter/cigarreviews/aspecificcigar, so you basically end up having countless threads on specific cigars. Now, as great as that may sound, it could end up being hundreds of threads with a couple reviews and a few more 'agreed' and/or 'Indeeds'. As has been said before, it's Tony's site, so let him do to it what he wants. Go figure.

I've sent you a letter containing a few hundred thousand germs from the door handles at the bank.

Speaking of germs and money... you know what I HATE?  When I'm at a liquor store and I get a few singles in change.  They're always so gross.  It's the one place I hate paying cash.

I'd never pay cash at a liquor store, for that reason.  I don't even want to know how infected the bills are there.

But if he doesn't get back to you soon, click Profile, then the tab that says Modify Profile, then Look and Layout, then check the box that says "Don't warn on new replies when posting."

I'll keep an eye on both sites because I love those guys.  But really, seems to me this place would suit the both of them much better.

One more post and we'll see your junior member, Bret.  LMFAO!  ;D
Well, that was the first order of the day, right? Postwhore to Junior status? Unlike Mikey, I don't have the clout to get my post count transferred. ;-)
I can do it for anyone but really I was just busting his balls.   He don't need my help.

It's quiet in here Tony, unless you're talking about the Odyssey, when you only have one brand, you tend to just smoke that one.

I meant what you're smoking.  Are you telling me you have no more cigars except for Buesos?  By the way, I'm a fan of the Odyssey.

Nice site here. Long time lurker on the Joe. Used to be imnotblackimmaduro, but that was a different life. Just finished a RB genesis. Very good stick after i let it sit. Just wish it tasted how it smelled, though.

thanks, I'll steer clear. I still haven't tasted the newer of aj's offerings. Fallen Angel, spectre, mayimbe, pinolero maduro, hair of the dog, side projects, etc. etc. I wonder when his quality is going to drop.

I've had all the side projects, well worth the money IMO, most of the others I have not gotten around to yet.

are the side projects different enough to be seperate blends? Or so they all taste like manowar with a hint of "x"?  I'd love to pick up some original mows, I haven't had those in storage for awhile now.
