WELCOME to all the new BOTL's and especially the SOTL's. It's good to see a female perspective on this great hobby.
My wife doesn't smoke cigars, tho she doesn't have a problem with me smoking them. I asked her once if she'd want to try one and she gave me 'the look'. You guys know what that means....lol.

Hello neighbor, well sort of. I am originally from the Denver area, and still make it over the mountains quite a bit. I noticed you're in Longmont, I am somewhat familiar with Longmont myself. I remember back in high school we would all go up there and cruise on the main drag. I remember eating at the Shakey's when it was still open. I used to go up there every February to the fairgrounds to see the motorcycle show too. I knee a guy that lived up there too, Robert Bubbins, he was a PGA golfer, and owned the Golf Headquarters in Lakewood. He closed his shop, and haven't seen him for a couple years. Anyways, yeah nice to meet you too. You head out this say, let me know. It would be nice to have a cigar with you. Merry Christmas ...90+ Irishman:Welcome to ALL new members and hope you stay here and get the buying-fever sickness! Buy a COOLER!!!
Leon, welcome from a fellow Colorado resident and hope that you can make it into the Front Range or I can get out to Palisade soon so tat we can share a stick! Best of luck and long ashes! -

Hello everyone
New user here from Zurich Switzerland
We just moved here a few weeks ago from Germany. I have been getting back into the hobby this past year.
My smoking has gone from from 1-2 sticks every two months to 2-3 sticks a week.
I got a new humidor going and have been slowly building it up with good sticks.
It is a 150 capacity box and I have almost 70 stored in it.
I have another older 30 capacity box that is used for long term aging.
I have been looking for a good community to talk about the hobby and this seems like a good place to do just that.
Looking forward to some good discussion and knowledge sharing. -
Welcome! Good to have our new members! Like Marker said, the search feature can answer nearly any question you have, but anything you can't find your answer to, feel free to ask and we will so our best to steer you right.
oh yeah... and do yourselves a favor. Buy a cooler. -
Welcome gentlemen, I can't think of a better community to share this hobby with than right here.

Noob here... Ex addict/drinker... Now I enjoy sticks. Been at it for two years and cam across this site. Due to excellent service from a guy named tim, I am a lifer at ccom. Music is my game and passion in life, along with America and my tithe to the man upstairs. I like the premiums and am not to adventurous as I've spent plenty on sticks I put out. All time faves are Patel 90, decade, and anything pardon. Fuente's are in the humi and next in line. Anyone wanna talk geeeetars...that's my game P.S. I'm going to have to bomb someone too...I believe in karma

Welcome dude..These are some good folks here

Welcome,and glad to have you here!

Welcome, catfish, from one newb to another. I response to your question, I do in fact play a bit o' git-fiddle.
-
That's my main addiction...he who dies with the most guitars wins! Although my tube amp collection is starting to rival my axes

Welcome and enjoy the forums.

Welcome Catfish. Get ready for a learning experience.
Where you from, brother? -
Looking forward to chopping it up with some nice folks. My local B&M is great in regard to pricing, selection, and sales...but the patrons make me want to punch the bastards. I come in dressed for work and I am one of them... When I am dressed normally...nothing. I honestly got into this to have something to do with my buddies who still drink and smoke like maniacs when I see them. I got transferred to a town where I knew no one, so cigars became a good 1-1 with the pup in the backyard and a cup of joe. I have a palate for food, but my palate for cigars is minimal at best as I have stuck to my fave's so I am always looking for suggestions. For the most part, I have my main stays and stick with buying them in samplers and good deals and scouring websites. Mr. Blythe took care of me well out of what needed to be done on a customer service issue so now I am loyal here.

Bakersfield, CA is my hometown. I represent Buck and Merle to the core brother.

I'm down to a Dean classical, a beat-up Washburn electric and an Epi 5-string T-bird bass. Traded the amp off to my Kawasaki...catfishbluezz:That's my main addiction...he who dies with the most guitars wins! Although my tube amp collection is starting to rival my axes -
It's what I do bro, I play all the time. I gigged for years, now I play in church 3 times a week, run a music store, and am working for a recording studio as a session player and mix engineer. My collection is insured for 30k, and I'm working on my carry permit now that I do studio work.Toombes:

I'm a newb to the cigar.com community up here in Portland Oregon. Been into cigars for about five years and recently started to try and develope my palette. Ive been into Conneticut wrapped sticks since the beginning but have been venturing out in the the world of medium cigars lately. Having just had a daughter 7 weeks ago and a son 14mos before that kicking back and smoking a fine cigar is one of the few quiet reflective moments I get other than those moments I live in pure chaos with these kiddos! Cheers to all my BOTLs out there I'm loving this community so far! - big lindy

Hey all!
I am a 23 year old whiskey enthusiast that has recently fallen in love with quality cigars. I just purchased my first humidor and batch of cigars from this site, and I plan on being a relatively active member of the community.
Since I don't know much about cigars, if you all help me out, then I'll share my knowledge of whiskey with you whenever you need help! Deal? Deal.
Favorite cigars so far:
Padron 1926
Arturo Fuente Hemmingway
Opus X Lost City
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero
(Also, one cigar my friend gave me - a pre-embargo cuban... I don't think I am versed enough to really appreciate all the complexities, but it was an incredibly interesting and enjoyable smoke)
Favorite Scotches:
Lagavulin 16
Bunnahabhain 12
Arberlour A'Bunadh
Highland Park 18
Favorite Bourbons:
George T Stagg
Eagle Rare 10
Bookers
Bakers
Other Favorite Spirits:
Sazerac 6 (Rye)
Suntory Hibiki 12 (Japanese Whisky)
Citadelle Reserve (Incredibly rare gin)
Ransom Old Tom Gin

Welcome to the forum man

Welcome, oldsoul! Interested in hearing your input on the whiskey discussions!
-
Hey oldsoul, It looks like you go top shelf all the way. Nice to have you here.
-
I tend to go for top shelf, yes. My motto is, "Live smaller, but live better" - I don't drink or smoke nearly as much as many other people, but that means I can afford to drink and smoke the very best.
Glad to be a new member here, it seems like a great community. -
Everybody needs a little soul. And a little revival too. I only need one whiskey, and he is a gentleman.
-
hope you stick around. I'm hoping to get into scotch and bourbon to pair with my cigars.oldsoulrevival:I tend to go for top shelf, yes.
