Brrrrr! It's getting colder out there. And I don't think it's just the cold shoulder I'm getting from some of my fellow banterers. Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either. If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour your favorite libation, and welcome aboard!
