    Hello everyone, finally got around to this thread.

    Name is Phillip, 20, live in Northeast PA  been smoking for 2 years. I smoke anything except flavor infused stuff. I either get my sticks from my local B&M in scranton or off C.com. I smoke about 5-7 sticks a week usually above the 50 ring guage. I find smaller sticks get too hot for me. (I do draw about once a minute but I am a big guy so I might draw too much lol).  But some favorites include: Manowars, La Aroma de Cuba, Obsidians, Padrons, Various Gurkhas (I know I know), Perdomos, Montecristo (just the white series from time to time), Olivas, American Legions, 

    (Also how do you change my forum name. Its Cigarfanatic but I want something else, but this blasted thing won't let me).
    Hi @CigarFanatic and welcome

    I am gonna tag @krebsie for getting your name changed

    -Jay
    @CigarFanatic - Send me a PM with what you want it to be and I will see what I can do,  thanks

    Hi my name is Allan, 45, live here in beautiful So. California and just started smoking cigars. Purchased a few samplers and have smoked a few of them. Just purchased the “Gurkha's Gargantuan Grab Bag Sampler” and looking forward to trying a few of them out. Just smoked my first “Cohiba Red Dot”. It was very easy to smoke and very enjoyable :)  Really enjoy this form and have learned a lot!

    Might as well stop lurking now that a good chunk of people I know are participating on the forums. I'm Kellan from Utah. Been smoking cigars for about 1 1/2 years now. I buy from C.com and various other sites if I can't find what I'm looking for on C.com. My favorite cigar is probably the Hemmingway Short Story. I'll also grab an occasional Padron 1926 No. 35, RyJ Veijo R, and an Ave Maria Morning Star. You might notice a trend. I like shorter sticks (especially perfecto shaped, don't know why). I don't smoke very often, especially in the Winter, so one might say I am a very occasional smoker. Every now and then, I'll grab some sticks I've never tried from the Cigar.com build your own sampler kit.

    @jarubla, I blame you for spreading the sickness.

    Oh it's on!

    I am very very glad you joined :)

    Kellan, aka @Keiran is my cigar godfather. He directly influenced me in this wonderful passion, as well as instilling in me a deep appreciation for Suntory whiskies.

    Glad you are here!!

    @Keiran is a good guy! Happy to see him join! 

    It is true @jarubla spreads the sickness but it's a good one

    Just commenting so it gets bumped to the top of the page. Took me a bit to figure that one out myself.

    Good evening  B)
    My name is Wayne. I've enjoyed cigars since I was about 11 and gut-shot a rabbit. My dad gave me a locally rolled maduro churchill to cover the smell while I cleaned it. I've been lucky enough to marry a woman who absolutely loves the smell of cigars, and encourages me in my habits. I've got a fairly busy job, and 3 kids. So I plan to lurk more than post, but I figured I should pop in and say hello.
