I also learned that like any thing in life there are going to be people around that you can't stand, but the cigar community is not a snobbish community (by majority). They in fact may be one of the most accepting and generous ones. One local shop I frequent there is a regular who lives in a multimillion dollar home and there is the guy who lives in a small apartment, but when sitting around enjoying a cigar it does not seem like those facts of life matter.
