Honestly, I really didn't want to start something that ended.. like this... I apologize for starting a thread which was only received in bad taste for pretty much the entire board. I only wished to discuss Habanos and wanted to gauge CP demographics for those that might be planning to smoke some nice ones on this occasion as I am. And for those of you who indulge in mostly or exclusively non-Cubans, I respect your points of view and I respect your smoke. I guess I shoulda seen this coming, and I actually expected a few posters to reply with the "NON CUBAN" remark in an act of defiance, so I kindly ask you all to forgive me for royally putting my foot in it. Rest assured, I had not the intention of trolling, as much as it may seem the opposite, and after seeing that this has only been an unpleasant experience for those who come here to simply talk fondly of cigars, I promise not to politicize my threads in any way from here on out; I will keep it exclusively to cigars. I hope that those of you that I have offended understand that it was not my intention, and I forewarned that I was attempting not to focus on the political aspects of it, but, then again, this is an invariably political subject.

Sincerely regretful,

We're pretty good a spotting piece of shit trolls here. I'm unsure about you, though. If you are here to troll, you're not very good at it. You lack patience. We discuss cigars here, not politics. If you want to stay and share in the experience, I strongly advise you to email the admin (Rod) to have your name changed. Then post an intro so we might get to know you. If not, we're in need of a new chew toy, albeit a poor one.

The reason I'm not good at it is because I'm not here to troll! I wasn't just trying to start a shit-fit, though that appears to be what I've succeeded in... I was trying to discuss the potential smoking of Habanos this Thursday. I was attempting to avoid the overt political tones of it, but that was unavoidable. Once again, I apologize for being extraordinarily uncouth. I will limit my posting to cigars from now on, promise! ;)

My wild guess, pre-intro, is a Western-European-educated civil servant in the diplomatic service, and posted to the USA. French or French-Swiss, possibly Spanish.

Or a wanna-be troll :whistling: .

This statement and your 1st post don't jive man! Your 1st post was full of political crap and you weren't shy about stating your position on it. I find the name you've chosen to be quite offensive as well. That in itself is a political statement! If you really had a PhD you wouldv'e probably known that before you ever came here. This, to us, is obvious! You deliberately caused this shit while claiming to be trying to avoid it. Do you think we are stupid? :rolleyes:
 
I live in a country where I can walk down to my local and pick up Cuban Cigars if I so choose.

I also am the proud owner of the Cold War Victory Medal

So my statement of smoking a Non-Cuban cigar was only my polite way of showing you what I think of Soviet Style Communism.

Karl Marx had some great ideas and it is generally acknowledged that Pure Communism is a better form of Government than Pure Capitalism, but neither has ever existed on our planet.

The Castro Era of political suppression has done NOTHING but harm to the people of Cuba, and in no way should it ever be celebrated.

Now hold on a moment. I do not deny this. I said that I was trying to avoid the overt political nature of the question, not that I was avoiding politics altogether. Yes, I made no attempt to be discrete. But what I'm saying is that I was attempting to focus on Habanos, and not on the controversial. But I digress. This was an abysmal failure of a thread, and for that I apologize.

No, I understood what you were saying. I was acknowledging that when I said that I respect your point of view and your smoke of choice.

I would like to comment, but I'm afraid that I will just open up another can of worms. As I've said, I'm honestly not here to troll, so I'll avoid politics and stick with cigars from here on out.
 
Oh no feel free to PM me your opinions, I'm a history buff and while I may not agree with you, I'm always interested in hearing others views.

With a name like Karlos Marxos, this is one of the funniest things I've read.

PM me your addy and I'll get you out some smokes!

Cool! I'd be way into that. I was actually considering PMing you anyway for just that reason. I meant that I don't want to open up another can of worms like I did when I started this thread!
