  • Newbie to the forum, but not cigars. Expat Canadian living in Houston. Have been to Cuba multiple times, including being married there (to another Canadian) We've been living in Houston since 2008 and now consider it home. I was a dedicated Cuban smoker while up north, but have now developed a fondness for a number of Nicaraguan sticks, as I've personally found them the most "cubanesque" I travel a lot for work, smoke too many cigars, and drink just enough.

    Welcome, Alex. Hope you stick around, there's a great group of guys here.
  • Hello, I'm in the SC upstate, retired and lovin' it. I'm 68 and started smoking/enjoying cigars since I was 67 1/2....I smoked them as a kid to look cool (didn't work) and I didn't like them anyway. Last summer my banjo teacher offered me a cigar and I thought, why not?? I really enjoyed it, and not just the smoke/flavor/taste, but also the experience, relaxing with a friend and nice cigar. Life is great! Always looking forward to my next one. Great fourm, I'm learning a lot here. Thank for having me, Ryan

    Hello all,

    My name is Eric and I just stumbled across this forum. I'm fairly new the the cigar world and actually just bought my first humidor a few months back. Really enjoying this hobby and hope to learn as much as possible. I live in ND so the weather is pretty crappy for about 6 months a year but look forward to enjoying plenty of cigars this summer on the golf course.
