Essential Threads ...a little help required

[El Presidente]

Could use a little help from members as I am a little short of time today and over this weekend 

We have a few new sections to launch next week as the forum takes shape (and glitches resolved). 

FOHbia will deal with:

• Fakes and avoiding fakes
• Beetles/Wood Mites
• Dry Cigars/Over humidified cigars and bringing them back
• General Cuban Cigar concerns as it relates to Security issues. 

FOHcus

• Regular articles. 
• Links to CIgar Blogs
• Humidor Tutorials

 

If you have the time, could you do a search of the forum for threads that should be essential links within these sections (listed above or not). The sort of threads that should have easy access, the threads that come up repeatedly for good reason in that they inform newcomers particularly but also may provide a refresher to long term members. 

We will go through what you came up with early next week and insert into the new features. 

For those who submit a thread link, you will go into the draw for an FOH Ashtray and 5 pack sampler of cigars chosen by myself. The author of that post will also go into the draw. Greg will do the draw next Wednesday. 

 

Finally

If you have your own Cigar Blog and would like to contribute to FOHcus please shoot me a PM. We can certainly post your article/blog and/or link to your site. Naturally, the content will need to be cigar related.....at least tenuously 

 

What we will build together is a better FOH 

 

Have a cracker weekend!

With dried out cigars, Perla's recent thread stands out in my memory, not least as it had a happy ending and everything worked out fine

All you need to know about cigars... temperature and humidity! -LOL Even when I am wrong, I am stylish!

[Akela3rd]

Can we have a link to those general, rambling or argumentative discussions that go on and on and on for days and never truly resolve themselves?

Preferably, ones that go off topic for a bit but eventually pull back. Great way to spend an hour with a cigar re-reading some of these.

"Link Pigfish", as Ray suggests, is not a bad idea...not that it's connected to the above comment in any way?

A few interesting ones I have followed over the years:

Funny, I thought this was going to be about Rob asking opinions on shoes and shirts again!  

 

[JohnS]

I concur in regards to ayepatz's flavour polls threads.

I'd also like annual polls on members' top cigars such as the 2015 one.

Which are the cigars I should smoke based on Vintage ?
