Favourite Morning ISOM Smoke
- Thread starter Newfie
- Start date
X2 on the Boli PC. Great smoke in my opinion. I've also been enjoying Montecristo's Petit Edmundo in the AM. This is a great little cigar that can be smoked in around an hour. Great for the AM meditation or the evening wind down.
My .02 cents...

Lol.........I always think the same thing!
Trinidad Reyes are nice, as are CM5 Secretos with some coffee. I usually try to not smoke in the mornings b/c my taste buds are usually fried w/ brushing, mouthwash, breakfast, coffee.

Actually we can, however it is a really really really bad idea and somewhat defeats the purpose of the "rules" so to speak. Thew whole point of "ISOM" and other euphamisms should be painfully apparent to you by now.....and are for all of our protection(s).
Anyone else? Or am I just way off base???

Vince,
I gotta say I'm not with you on this one. Calling a Cuban cigar a "Cuban cigar" is not in contravention of any of the explicit or implied rules of CigarPass as far as I can tell. Neither is conversing about Cuban cigars. Anything related to "sources," however, is forbidden.
I tend to feel the same as Fly and Mike on this one. Calling these things "Cubans," "Habanos," or "Havanas" is true to the tradition of this hobby and I think models a certain adult frankness. This is one aspect where I feel the "nudge-nudge, wink-wink" is gratuitous, superfluous, and far from mellifluous.

X2 on the Petit Edmundo. These are tasty little devils. :thumbs:
I appreciate the comment but respectfully ....way off base. (smiley face to indicate that while I disagree with you I still like you, or whatever it means...)
Too me ISOM is the same as ROTFLMAO and all of the other cutesy internet / texter nation ways of typing something without actually typing it. The whole point IS painfully apparent to me. These internet acronyms ( LOL, LMAO, WOAM, DCM, etc) are in existance for the sole purpose of saving time in typing. There is no other real reason. As for ISOM, it saves one stinking letter. We are adults and we all know what we are talking about. We are talking about a Cuban cigar, let's just say so. We aren't talking about how to get them. We're talking about how they taste. To say they are what they are violates no rules or prohibitions that I am aware of.
Harris (the Master), buddy, where are you? You successfully got the use of this silly acronym irradicated (sp?) from Cigar Family. Help me out here.
Oh and on topic, I also LOVE the Petite Edmundos.....

With all due respect, while I dislike the acronym, I'm not in favor of a putsch to eradicate it from the vernacular. I am in favor of a little gentle persuasion through education and discussion. This is CigarPass, not CigarFamily.
It seems to me that you're getting all exercised because you don't fully understand the socio-linguistic foundations of the origins of vernacular and idiom. Not that you need to, really. These acronyms, emerged initially in the service of making the typed communication of the early internet more compact. This much is true. However, once in place, the usage of those terms, which have become "words" in their own right, is now independent of that original purpose. This is true not just for internet idiom but across many dimensions of a living language. How about FUBAR, SOL, PIA, etc?
IMO (hey, there's another one of those lazy shortcuts interwebbers use), it's as silly to get all bunched up about the use of "ISOM" as it is to keep on using the term even after one has been presented with cogent reasons to stop using it.
