    Hey Newbies, if you get an error message when trying to post to the forum that "your comment will appear after it's been approved" try posting without quoting others, especially try without a lot of usernames like @yakster, etc.  

    For some reason this happens to newbies, but after a mysterious (to me) amount of time and experience (maybe secret badges) it doesn't happen any longer.

    Generally these comments sit in the bit bucket waiting to be approved except that one time when hundreds and hundreds of pending comments were approved en mass flooding the forum with old replies.

    Welcome @Krucial .  Be sure to go to the Cigar 101 section and read the 102 Things Newbs Need to Know thread, also Developing Your Palate, (NOT Pallet), as well as Kuzi's (almost) all inclusive Guide to Cigar Etiquette, Kuzi style, which I think is here in General Discussion.  Also, there should be some links under Kuzi's post, hopefully they still work, and you'll find a lot of fascinating information there.

    Welcome @Krucial, you got your start about the same way I did, although it was my brother's wedding.
    Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

    Hey Everyone, already got some nice welcomes in a post I made earlier thought I would make an official post here.  Chris, 35, KS.  I got into cigars with my dad when I was late teens.  I would split samplers with a buddy of mine until he moved away.  Recently as of a couple months my Dad and I picked up the hobby again.  It’s been a great way to spend some time together.  I purchased a 150 ct humidor and have it stocked with around 100 or so.  Looking forward to learning from the group and growing the collection!  

    One of my first favorite cigars was from Habanos Smoke shop.  They make Don Pablo and JO cigars.  They source and hand roll them in Florida.  Used to have a shop in Vegas for a long time.
