The word ISOM

[alexgtp]

Am I the only one who is getting sick of seeing Cuban cigars referred to as ISOM's?

Why not refer to them as Habanos? Cubans? Or by their Brand name. :angry:

I believe this has been discussed.

:laugh:

 

[tone-ny]

I thought ISOMs refered to "in search of macanudos"?

 

[bfreebern]

I like buying ISOMs from ecigardepot.

I've been making a point of writing CCs. We smoke Cuban cigars; we do not smoke islands. :laugh:

 

[Ginseng]

Do a search noob!

Yeah, I'm darn sick of it but I'm not going to blow a gasket. Maybe we can ask Rod to get the database to substitute "Habanos" whenever someone types "ISOM" in a post.

Does anyone who types ISOM consider that that would also include the Dominican Republic too?



I will now shoot on sight.

I never liked it. CC's is my preference

I agree lets just call them cubans. But to be honest with you until reading a previous discussion about this same topic I thought we were suppossed to call them ISOM's . As a newbie I went to the cigar lingo page to look up ISOM's and it says Island South of Miami (in other words, Cuba). Hell I thought it was the code word for cuban cigars. :laugh:

Just thought I would share my ignorance as a newbie.

The Feds can't do anything if you call them ISOMs, correct?

I call them Cubans, for that is where they come from.

:laugh: .... I thought the same thing for a while. Just became a habit. Hell, it's so ingrained I still call them isom's sometimes in PM's. :laugh:

Wasn't the original rationale for using ISOM to avoid popping up on spook search engines looking for contraband traders? I am pretty sure it isn't much of a secret code anymore so there really isn't a reason to just call them Cubans or habanos

Ok so when I first read ISOM I had to look it up, and I thought it was prefered on the board. But if this Is the reason wouldnt CC be just as efective If not better?

edit to add:
there was no reason for me to add to this
