Hey guys!!

Just wanted to throw a little intro out there for all the members here at cigars.com. A friend of mine suggested signing up and getting to know everyone. I hear there are a lot of good people on the site, and from some of the threads I've read, he is totally correct. I still consider myself somewhat a noob when it comes to cigars and smoking. I've been smoking cigars for about a year, but really started to get into it the last 3-6 months. I'm def not an expert with all the various types of cigars out in the world today. I'm hoping this site and the members here will broaden my horizons with cigars and introduce me to some new smokes as well as some interesting ones. Well quite an intro. I'm glad to be here and hope to get to know everyone a little better. Many thanks!

-Starbuck

    Haha. Would you like that with or without whip cream?

    I know a lot of people think my nick is related to the coffee, Starbuck, but actually it's from the old BattleStar Galactica show in the late 70's. When I was first born my parents nicknamed me "Starbuck" until they decide on a more formal name David. =)

    Pfft. That's not the original Starbuck. The original Starbuck is the only voice of reason in Captain Ahab's crew in the old classic "Moby D1ck". But yeah, welcome to the CCom forums. If you have any questions, feel free to ask anyone here!

    Welcome to the forums. I'm a huge, huge fan of the new BSG series. The one from the 70s is an embarrassment to TV, but to each their own, right? :)
