Okay, lovers of the LEAF, step right up...

[VirtualSmitty]

Why is the word leaf in capital letters in the thread title? What else would we be lovers of in a cigar discussion forum?

And I have nothing to add, all my favorites are around 40 RG. I don't get whats so appealing about big RG cigars these days, it makes me wonder at times.

I don't know if I even think about mild, medium and full anymore. My tendency now is to go with what I fell like smoking at the time.

NC
Four Kicks Robusto
Cabaiguan Coronas Extra
Illusione CG 4

CC
Por Larrañaga Petit Coronas
Cohiba Siglo IV
Partagas Serie D No. 4

Well, let's see. The word LEAF is in capital letters because I pushed the little button on my keyboard with the word "shift" on it. Would also be in the sense where one is addressing a brotherhood.

Next, please, feel free to start a thread about 40 RG or smaller if you are in fact interested in reading about what others smoke in that RG. The reason you don't get what's so appealing about larger RGs is because you favor the 40 RG and that's perfectly okay. Just don't rain on my day by doing so. It's not proper etiquette.

We have an acronym for that, botl/sptl

It's a rook mistake to limit yourself based on RG. Notice quite a few old timers favor smaller RGs, there may be a reason for that

I was smoking cigars 10 years before you were born. I quit smoking and alcohol consumption at 23 when my first son was born so as not to influence him. At 50, the only thing I'm a rookie on is wanting to be an on line cigar expert, pretend aficionado. I'm not pretending, I like what I like and only ask about what I like. If you feel the need to pretend to be an expert, well, then I guess your doing it.

When using a trademark, it is customary to make a notation. In your case, to be fully correct you should have used: Nissan LEAF®

Arbitrary distinctions are, well, arbitrary. Don't be surprised to find a WTF on a cigar board where you are the babe in the woods (or so you demonstrate).

But I mean that in the nicest possible, large RG*, way.

*: "Ring Gauge" not "Rafael Gonzales"

Understand I'm not here to impress anyone or the learn on line acronym banter. I'm an individual, and while my distinctions are arbitrary, I'm not striving to be a stuck up snob. Take away the post count and the cigar lingo post, that most hear refer to, and you would find a world of pretenders. It's either fun, or it isn't.

Dude, lighten up.
If you are over 50 as I am, you know there are more important things to take way more seriously.
You chose to get snippy and tell the wrong person to go start his own thread.

BTW, take away my post count, it doesn't change who I am and what I have experienced. Won't make me a pretender.
