Cigar snobs?

I came across a place that had a comment about hating it when people don't know how to smoke or light a cigar.
They made comments like, "I saw this person lighting his cigar wrong and I was pissed."
What? If the person seems to be doing it wrong, wouldn't be more productive to offer some advice on doing it properly, then getting pissed about it?
And I'm a bit perplexed about the doing it wrong part. Were they lighting the wrong end?
Seriously though, is there people out there that have so much time on their hands that they are so concerned about how someone else is doing something, that it "affects" them?
Makes no sense to me. If someone seems to be having a bit of a problem with a cigar, lighting it, smoking it or what ever, I may offer up some advice, but it is their cigar, if they want to bite the end off of it and smoke it, then that is up to them.
Ok, that's my bit of a rant.

Other than that, if it's their own cigar that they bought, who cares how they smoke it?
I dunno, there are a few cubans that DD has introduced me to that I'd pay out the ass for again
In all of the time that I have been enjoying cigars, my personal conclusion is that there really is no absolute right way or wrong way (well, with exceptions of course. LOL!) to enjoy your cigar.
We all know that there is so much personal preference in the way we smoke cigars.
I'm not a fan of light Connecticut, but that doesn't mean that people who enjoy them are wrong, it just means that their palate is more refined than mine and that is what they enjoy. I like my cameroons, but that is where my preferences are.
For some reason, this forum is "comfortable". I don't feel "gunshy" about posting something.
Thanks to everyone for that.
I just didn't ever want to sound like a snob or cigar know-it-all. If someone gets enjoyment from smoking the "wrong" way, then good for them. Helpful advice that they may take or leave is one thing, but saying "this is how to do it," or "do this, this and this" is another. As long its it's relaxing or enjoyable, go with it! No sense in forcing someone to do it your way or get pissed when they don't!
