The Newbie welcoming thread.

Hello everyone, I am a new cigar lover from Arlington Virginia. I started out with Baccarat's and have tried several different brands, recently finding Arturo Fuente's the best that I have tried. Glad to be here and hope to learn a lot!

Welcome to you..Fuentes has so much to offer, I have smoked tons of the Fuente's brand cigars and enjoyed them all..

Welcome to the community, tshaww.

Get a custom sampler from ccom and pick out any random cigar from the list they give you. I did that and chose cigars by size (went with all churchills the first time) and discovered one of my favorite brands 5 Vegas. Oh and if you want a humi but dont want to spend much moola, check out the cigar 101 section and search for setting up a tupperdor. Welcome to the forums!

Yeah, the Centurian wasnt so much my idea. It was just the end of the evening and i turned around to someone handing me a cigar so I just thought sure why not and smoked it. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome aboard Cavman and Tshaww. Lot's of good info. and things to learn here. You will enjoy your stay.

Hi. I'm a recent convert to the art of cigar smoking. The first cigar I smoked all to myself was an Oliva Serie G. I've come to find that I often prefer cigars in maduro wrappers. I've tried a couple infused cigars from Drew Estates, but find they're not really my thing, though they were pleasant. Usually when I smoke, I like to just sit and watch the cigar burn and the smoke curl away into the sky. I live in New Orleans, so there's a good chance the weather won't prevent me from smoking all winter. Just as long as it's not too windy--I need to work on my lighting technique.

Hey, I'm Claude. I'm 25, I'm in Omaha, and I'm into cigars because I'm a sensory junkie. I just love the way cigars excite the senses. Pleased to meet you.

Well, Claude, thats the first time I ever heard anyone explain the reason for smoking cigars is because of being a sensory junkie... But, it does make sense. You get it all when smoking a cigar. Maybe that's my vice as well. I gonna go with that explanation.. Thanks.

Welcome, newbies. I hope you don't offend easily, Shika. I mean, you're dating Scramz, so you can't be all that picky, but still, this has been an all-boys club up to now, so you may encounter . . . boyishness. (Not from me, of course, but from these other knuckleheads we've got around here.)

See, that wasn't so hard.

Shika is my girlfriend. She started byt trying a puff or two of my cigars, then decided she kind of liked some of them. I was a little suprised when one evening she said something like "I think the darker the wrapper, the more I tend to like the cigar".

That's up to Scram. A little bird told me you're from my hometown, by the way.

And hey, what are y'all talking about, old?

What? what? You're from the beach? How'd you escape? I've been trying for years now ...

You're profile says your 100 ...

Ooo, another grammarian. How fun.

Okka Smiff! (Okay, okay. Oscar F. Smith. But that's not as fun to say.)
