Hi Guys,
While I'm not big on talking about myself I figure it made sense if I wanted to continue to post to these boards, which I do.
Name: Mike
Born: Washington, DC
Grew Up: Norther Virginia
Moved: Orlando Florida 1989, Highland Indiana 1997
Started Smoking: Twelve Years Old - Big Gross Flavored Stick - Puked my guts out and didn't smoke for a long while!
1989 - In Florida turned on to Fuente Maduro 858 and loved them. Continued smoking maybe one a week or every two weeks. More of a fascination than love.
2008 - Introduced to Drew Estate infused. Really enjoyed and started smoking Blondies, Kuba Kuba, Ones and Java's.
2010 - Started watching sites like "Cigar Obsession and "Nice Tight Ash" and found the reviews of cigars compelling and, well, exciting! (Don't go Clinton on me) So I decided to start branching out. A couple weeks ago I tried a Liga Privada No. 9 at a B&M DE event and fell in love with non infused cigars.
I have a couple humidors and my wife is understanding if not some what supportive of my hobby. Up to a point that is. This new feeling I have for cigars is a whole new level of engadgement and I don't know if she is ready to go along for ride. But I'm going. I have a thousand questions and want to smoke every stick I can get my hands on!
Threads: I don't know what a BOTL is. I don't know what a PM is. I don't know how to answer specific peoples comments. I don't know what a bomb is.
Favorites: I have no idea because my taste is changing or evolving.
About me: "Dark Roast" is the type of coffee I enoy drinking. I work for a very large coffee company and am in sales/restaurant distribution. I also enjoy drinking micro brews, good wine, fine liquor and an occasional glass of milk!
Married with two boys age 13 and 10 (yes I started late having children) wife is younger than me.
Enjoy: Cooking, specifically BBQ and any and all types of grilling. I grill year round snow and all. Play some guitar. Smoking cigars - of course. Enjoy company of people that enjoy cigars.
Well thats it for now. I'm going out on deck and smoking a cigar with a cup of dark roast coffee and water.
Thank You for listening/reading.

One note, if you start investing in non-infused cigars you'll want to keep them in a separate humidor from your infused cigars, otherwise they will taint the non-infused sticks!
Once again, welcome, and hope you enjoy your stay!
PM= Private Message(accessed through this site)
Bomb= Cigars sent to borthers as part of a trading program
Just about all of us gravitate toward fuller bodied sticks over time but still enjoy all types. Your tastes will develop fairly quickly.
Glad you joined in.
Nice Intro! Im a Big cooking BBQ in fool! Year round as well but i am in california NO SNOW.
Se you Around
Many of us here enjoy good coffee along with our cigars.
This morning I am enjoying some awesome Nicaragua Beans (full city roast). These are a high grown bean, and do real good from med. dark to full on Starbucks. ( I too think they burn their beans)
Nice intro., I hope you stick around and add to our little community.
Welcome to our little home, Mike. Good to have you with us. I'm one of the rare guys here that doesn't really enjoy coffee. I stopped drinking most caffeine a long time ago and now it makes me all weird when I drink coffee. Headaches, weird stomach pains. It sucks - I enjoy the taste of most coffee, just not how it affects me.
Wanted to throw my .02 in, as I was incommunicado over the weekend: Welcome to the forum! Quite the introduction you put out, and from your subsequent comments it seems like you'll fit in great! It's an awesome group we have here, comprised of some the coolest, most generous, and craziest motherphuckers you can imagine...
¨Only two people walk around in this world beardless - boys and women - and I am neither one.¨
You'll find plenty of great advice around here. Everyone is very helpful. Reminds me of calling CCOM to place an order LOL! Any questions feel free to ask (don't be shocked when your thread takes a weird turn). I also recommend using the search box. Did I see you play a bit of guitar?
"Long ashes my friends."
T-word?
I dont think I qualify as a newbie anymore but I am still not sure what that word is... I have heard of a B-word that makes BOTLs skin crawl and makes them want to check theirs sticks daily to prevent an infestation.
