Thanks for the link and interesting discussion. As noted, the good far outweighs the bad on the boards, though I found myself nodding with your mention of “ringleader” mentality, Walt. The “mobocracy” that springs up around certain brands IS, I believe, a more recent phenomenon. It seems to be a product manufacturers getting active on the boards. With forum members feeling “in the loop” because they know (or feel they know) the manufacturer/brand owner, some forums have become cheerleading centers for Brand X rather than objective sources for curious smokers.

Hey Ratters!

I read your post in the forums as well as the one here and indeed your cordiality speaks volumes for the SR community! Thank you for your invite to join in the gang, I do plan on participating much more in the near future. It does seem there is a tight knit group here that I hope to become familiar with.

Not only am I new to these forums, but im also new to smoking cigars as well; so I do have a lot to benefit from the information contained herein. If there is one thing I have learned so far, is that within cigars and its community there is an underlying social experience that exists, which perhaps accounts for its uniqueness in forum atmosphere. The typical hobby forums I frequent are very succinct, which indeed may be missing the social aspect found here.

Like I mentioned in my forum post, I don’t want to detract from the established community here, I just wanted to voice my immediate thoughts. Thanks again for the welcoming invitation! I look forward to gleaning any and all information that I can, so please stock up your virtual forum moochador as here I come.

Branfrog, I responded in the forums but I’ll respond here too. At the stogie review forum there are maybe 10 to 15 people that post with any regularity. You can join the “clique” at the SR forums simply by posting. But the banter between a couple members of the board is good natured and understood for what it is by those of us that post there.

There are many cigar forums that I’ve had problems with due to attitudes but the SR one certainly isn’t one of them. The only other one I frequent with any regularity is clubstogie where things are very friendly and mellow. I’ve met most of my smoking buddies through that site.

In all cases concerning the internet though, you get out of it what you choose. If there’s stuff you don’t like, don’t pay attention to it. If you don’t like people chatting, don’t read. If you want things a certain way, participate in that way. The internet is just what you choose to make of it.
