    Welcome guys!  A couple of things:

    We already have an Edward, and a Significant 3, so @Edward_3 needs a new nickname.  

    The only handle worse than @NineToes is @eighttoes.  Sounds painful!

    The best cigar of the month club on the planet is to buy samplers from the members here.  

    Liquidcow is still open, I gave portapottysherpa to David I believe. 

    Welcome to all the new members

    Welcome @NineToes and @Edward_3. Most of us are harmless, just watch out the guys named John and Edward.

    Hi all!  New here and pretty new to Cigars.  I just quit smoking cigarettes 37 days ago after 23 years.  Don't even want them anymore.  Beginning to fall in love with relaxing with a nice cigar on the porch at night though.  Looking forward to socializing with some of you.  

    So help a new guy out and help me choose tomorrow nights Cigar.  Aj Fernandez's New World, or Drew Estates Dogma?

    Welcome @D52088 to the forum, if it were Frank he'd smoke those two and three others besides.

    Have you tried the New World Cameroon? Great cigar.

    Thanks for the welcome guys.  I haven't tried the Camaroon yet but it is high on my "to purchase" list.  I dont think I'm ready to smoke two full body sticks in one night yet lol.  Finishing up with a Gurkha Heritage for tonight.  I've heard mixed reviews about this one and decided to give it a go.  Wishing I hadn't dropped 12 bucks on it now.  Not a bad smoke but not worth $12.  Quite bland honestly.  The $3 Ventura Slaughterhouse Robusto I smoked last night was honestly more enjoyable.

    Still better than being called "One crazy Nut"!
    No doubt! I'm called way worse on the regular though. Lol. I see you are from Texas. I live in the Big Bend area. How about you?

    Going to 9.5 toes was pretty painful too
    What happened?  Did this little piggy go to market?
    In my case got shot in the foot with a 12 gauge shotgun. Amazing I only lost one toe!

    None really. I was 15 at the time. Just an accident to be truthful. Was getting ready to flush a covey of quail. Basically I was trying to be a sportsman and not skillet shoot them. Tripped/ slipped and ended up pulling the trigger while the barrel was pressing down on my foot. Sure glad both barrels didn't go boom. Lol.

    Obviously you're a quick study.  Gurkha is something of an enigma.  They go out of their way to source really good tobacco, then somehow screw it up.  You'll find that around here folks sometimes refer to a cigar as having "Gurkha'd".  This means that either it was plugged, tunneled, unraveled, or otherwise self-destructed while being smoked.  You'll see. 

    Welcome @D52088, @NineToes, @Fine137 , and any others I've missed.  I don't check in here as often as I should.

  • Good evening all, new to the forums here. I've been smoking cigars for a few years around the firehouse but was never really into it just a smoke to relax the night. I've recently jumped into this and researching and doing my homework. So much to learn and take it but im reall enjoying myself and building my collection. I'm looking forward to hanging around here and growing my knowledge of cigars and the history. Cheers yall, heres to a puff for all!
