    Hey Gents... My name is Danny.  I'm 46 and I live in Houston, TX. I'm real new to the cigar world and learning something new everyday. Ever since I was a kid I loved the smell of a cigar. I would follow the old guys smoking and shopping in K-mart.  
    I have been smoking for about 8 months, but only one offs from a b&m in my area.  Usually smoked when I played golf, which was about once a month.  I have researched and researched, watched reviews and the list to learn continues to grow. I just bought a 120 count cigar humidor and BOY what fun. What did I learn from that?  You can over saturate your humidor, even when you think you're being conservative. No worries now, patience won and the 70/70 was finally accomplished! It took about 5-6 days, but worth it when I placed those stoggies in their rightful place. Which is how I found this sight. Reading humidor forums helped me correct my humidor. 
    Im glad to be a part of the forum. Looking forward to learning from the VETS. 

    I was told to ask for a sponsor to trade with.

    Thanks for the sponsor Lee. We did get off to a bad start. But that's the past.  I think the future is brighter.  You seemed to be respected around here.

    We have a couple brothers on here that roll their own cigars. It does look like quite the experience.

    Wylaff...  That's too funny. I'll bet you old Lee is a softy. 
    Lee is a softy. You should have seen the ridiculous assortment he donated for an auction to help out a fellow forum brother.
