FWIW, and this is NOT directed at you, Chris, just responding to a post in the thread -- it makes me a little uncomfortable to think that guys would post pics of their empty humidors hoping to encourage a bomb or two. That's called "fishing" and is diametrically opposed to what most brothers here stand for. This place is one of the most generous in the world of cigar forums. I have personally experienced the generosity of a good many brothers here, but I chafe a bit at those who try to get something for nothing. Give to this community, and the returns will plentiful. It may even include cigars, but it will most assuredly include some very strong friendships.

Sorry to hijack your thread a bit, Chris. Again it was not directed at you in any way, but there's been some off-putting statements made in the forums recently, and I've had just about my fill of it.

So by all means, post your empty humis to your heart's content. But do it to show off your prized new toy (as Chris has done) and not in the hopes that some CA Santa Claus is gonna send a stocking full of sticks.

That may be true. But fishing is not exactly the best way to earn respect here.

Unfortunately, my post was not sarcastic - the point of which I think you missed.

It may very well be that you were being sarcastic, and maybe people that know you knew that you were being sarcastic, but for those of us that don't know you your comment came off as promoting fishing and mooching.

Further, new readers may read your post and think "that's the way it is on CA -- go fishing for sticks by showing your empty humi".

I'm not trying to pick on you, but if you want people to read sarcasm into your post -- use a smiley or be explicit by saying "just being sarcastic", or maybe just skip the comment...

Just my
