From a thread I am sure you have read.

- Don't ask about where to get Cuban cigars or discuss vendor practices in the forums.
- Take the time to get together with fellow members whenever you have the opportunity. Online is cool. Face to face rocks. If you have a camera, bring it along.
- Pay It Forward is a lifestyle not just a term.
- Don't be afraid of posting a review on whatever you are smoking. You might be surprised at the reaction.
- Do not let other's reviews and opinions influence your opinion of what you smoke.
- Use trader feedback when appropriate.
- It is OK to simply read a thread that appears to be heading south, and have the willpower NOT to post to that thread. Posting to such a thread when you don't know the members or the personalities involved can turn a debate between willing parties into a flame war.
- If you're not sure whether it's appropriate to post something ...wait...you can PM a moderator or a person you feel comfortable with first. Someone should be willing to help.
- If you have an issue with someone, take it up with them the PM route.
- Buy your humidor 4 times bigger than you think you will need and buy some beads.
- Take the time to learn and understand the nuances of the advanced search option in this forum.
- If you want to get in on the fun of bombs and trades, send a private message to me (pnoon) with your name and mailing address.
- If you receive a package (trade, bomb, sale, PIF), send a “thank you” private message (PM) to the sender.
- Hit the Reply w/Quote button only when quoting the message is pertinent to what you are posting. Otherwise just hit Post Reply. When quoting another member, it's not always necessary to quote their entire post--especially if it's particularly long, or it contains numerous photos. When appropriate, chop the quote down to isolate the part that's relevant to what you intend to say.
- If you post a link to something that may be inappropriate for people to see at work...use NSFW in the thread title or post.
- When posting an email address, use the format "myname AT hotmail DOT com" (If you use myname@hotmail.com, the spam bots will find your addy and you will get more spam)
- Respect is something you earn. If you take your time and get involved, you'll find that the Cigar Asylum is a wonderful thing.
- To make friends, be a friend.
- Feel free to ask questions.
- Be patient.
- Be humble.
- Enjoy yourself.

Also, from the first post in this thread.

Someone might want to send you something...
