    Well, I used to live with my folks in Mission Viejo, and after that lived in Anaheim for a while before incrementally moving North. I was a field engineer and did a lot of traveling within California. Actually taking 15 past Norco to get to the back side of the mountains to go up to Santiago Peak to work on the radio site up there via the fire roads.

    I do alot of work in Anaheim. I own a water well pump repair business. For a long time my biggest supplier was off of Kramer glasses. They moved to banning last year so that has been a huge pain in the butt.

    Hello from socal. I've been smoking cigars and pipes off and on for 15 years. Recently I've gotten big into cigars again.I had to purchase another tupperdor a few weeks ago. I have been buying up samplers like they going out of style trying to figure out what I like. So far I haven't really smoked a bad one I definitely prefer some over others. I found this forum a few months ago and finally decided to join the group. Looking forward to participating in what looks like a great forum and good group of people.<

    I'm just an Ozark hillbilly, been thinking about taking up cigars for a while now. I may have a slightly addictive personality as I've accumulated almost a 2 month supply of various smokes and I've only been smoking about 6 weeks.Been smoking 1-3 a day, got a resting and a smoking humidor in the basement, handful of tools, couple of lighters,etc.
    Anyway glad I found the forum, other than I see already you got punctuation ****'s. :D I have no cigars smoking buddies but I do have a good B&M in the area, with a lounge if I ever get time to smoke there.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Whatsup all? Im new to the forum, live in the bay area of SF and am just getting into cigars for the first time. I’ve had a blast setting up my first wine-a-tuperdor and am starting to explore as many sampler deals as I can find. My go to Monte Classic is starting to feel a bit mild at this point which I think means I am doing something right. Happy to be here and excited to keep exploring!

    Welcome NorCalNewbie. But I thought you aren't allowed to smoke indoors or outdoors in California.

    Welcome @NorCalNewbie, another SF Bay Area resident here. You CAN smoke indoors and outdoors in some locations here, but have to pay stiff taxes on your cigars and it certainly seems more socially acceptable to smoke weed than cigars these days from what I hear.
