Cigar veins?
Ok. I am still very new to cigars and one thing I keep hearing about is the amount of veins in a cigar. But it seems that everyone has a different opinion about them. So I guess my question is what is the real story behind the veins, do they even mean anything at all? I would really appreciate some clarity on this subject.

....? ill have to look into that.
By the way, this thread is ripe for someone to come along and take in a whole other direction.
But who would stoop to that level?
That more what you were looking for Scram???
And we have a winner...LMAO
Im pretty cherry when it comes to cigars myself so i went a self educated by buying some books. The "Cigar Companion" by Marvin Shanken (who happens to be a big wig with cigaraficianado.com) says that prominent veins can be a defect in the wrapper. The book was a big help and has a pretty extensive cigar directory. Got it a Barnes and Noble. Just a suggestion but its kept me from looking like a dumbass so far (i think).
....i wonder what percentage i will have to not know to make me want it.
The majority of the book is the cigar directory fully equiped with pictures of the cigar and all their information and a brief history of the company that produced them. The connoissuer's directory is pretty extensive also, most of which are cigars that are rated in the 95 to 100 range. It was Cigar Companion or The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cigars and Cigar Companion was a book that I could leave on the coffee table.
Thats what the books says also. Id get a subscription to CA but they sure are proud of the damn thing. Its like 9 bucks an issue.
