ASC FAQ:
Welcome to the Usenet newsgroup alt.smokers.cigars - The largest cigar-
club in the world! Here we discuss all aspects of cigar smoking - from
favorite types, to storage, to techniques. All cigar-related
discussions are welcome. There are ongoing discussions of humidors,
cutters, smoke shops, the politics of cigars, current trends, and (of
course) there's much talk of particular brands and our readers'
recommendations. This is an international forum, so don't be surprised
to see much talk about those fine smokes not even available in the US
(such as Cubans).

Are you traveling? Ask our readers about smoke shops near your
destination. Trying a new brand? Tell our readers what you think - or
ask them their opinions! Building a humidor? Get advice from both
laymen and professionals! Whether you're a novice, or life-long
smoker, alt.smokers.cigars is here for discussions of all cigar-
related issues.

Who are we? A.S.C. represents a broad cross-section of cigar smokers
on the Internet! Our regular contributors are doctors, lawyers, and
other professionals. We're college students, construction workers, and
computer geeks... Married and single, guys and gals, everybody fits
into our group. we all have the love of cigars as a common bond.

What shouldn't you post in alt.smokers.cigars??? ASC is a discussion
group... In accordance with Usenet "netiquette", advertising is
absolutely taboo. Nothing will hurt your image more than advertising
in a discussion group - don't even think about it. One time
announcements of special events are ok, but don't get caught
attempting to trick our readers! And please don't use ASC to conduct
illegal activities such as buying or selling Cuban cigars in the U.S.

Additionally, Usenet discussion groups like ASC are not the place for
HTML posts or pictures (binaries), so please don't post images - and
make sure you're posting in plain text! Off-Topic posts are also
strongly discouraged. If you break the rules, you can be sure that
vigilant readers will contact your Internet provider and ask that your
access be restricted. ASC is an online community. Act responsibly.

Want more? You can hear about new products, brands, and all sorts of
special offers in the newsgroup alt.smokers.cigars.marketplace. This
resource was developed to give 'net advertisers a chance to tell us
about their products without disrupting the non-commercial cigar talk
in ASC. Read about the latest cigar brands, discounts, close-outs, and
special offers. ADVERTISERS ARE WELCOME in ASC.Marketplace!

Then there's the ASC clubhouse - alt.smokers.cigars.clubhouse, where
anything goes! Created just for good-natured fun, ASC readers have the
opportunity to socialize with each other in this area - to kick back
and enjoy an occasional smoke together while discussing life, love,
and the state of the universe. Heard a good joke? This is the place to
share it! As with ASC, advertising of any sort is strictly taboo in
ASC.Clubhouse...
