Skinned Chicken!
Originally posted by crusse View PostI don't think that members here set out to deliberately belittle people who like NCs, but sometimes it can come across that way. The negative comments about NCs usually turn up when there is a thread in which they are directly compared to CCs. This can give the impression of an anti-NC bias or CC-only snobbery.
Here are some examples of direct quotes from a previous thread that give this impression. I have omitted names because my intention isn't to name and shame. I just want to show how people just giving their honest opinions or having a bit of banter can sometimes give the impression of an anti-NC bias on this forum which might put members off from sharing their love of NCs.
“I've never had an NC that has made me go 'wow'....I find them too light, airy, dry and only ever taste of pepper. No real oomph to them....”
“NCs smell like cow shit to me all the time.”
“NCs to me are worse than new world wine. Sometimes I enjoy new world wine but yet to enjoy a NC.”
“Me...? I 'love' NC's...
The fact that there are people who are prepared to smoke 'em... well... it means more Cubans for the rest of us, and helps keep the price of 'Habanos' from sky-rocketing.”
I rest my case!
That's what I think, anyway...
Hell...I've seen similar (and worse) comments about what others consider to be fine puros.
Perro, el Perro
Note to self: Instruct Ray Jay to pay more attention to the Knewbee Greet forum.

Now, as far as abusing knewbees goes....W-e-e-e-e-ll, I know from time to time in the past one or two of the Coro Clan - usually Ray Jay or Bag Boy - have subject a few of these so-called "Knewbees"to a bit of "leathering up," but this was done regardless of what they smoked, drank. spit or chewed.
