    Hey everyone my name is George or W for short. I know more about cigars than all of you put together. I thought I could learn something here. Nothing to see, just a bunch of goat palate dog rocket smokers here. Carry on.

    Do you have some really expensive smokes you're trying to sell?

    I only smoke Davidoff, Padron, Opus X and ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ. Lmfao

    Well I can see youโ€™re going to fit right in @faod1223 haha just keep taking jabs at 5-packs and Cuban seed and youโ€™re golden. Itโ€™s always nice to be mentioned you guys, I appreciate it! I have come to take @Visions words seriously after a week of measuring our ducks, and I found a gem that I will forever cherish. At 36, Iโ€™m still considered a newb at cigars and these guys are legit, fun, and all around a great group of guys. I hope you get the joy out of this place as much as I did! Welcome aboard my friend.
    And yes, any questions about the new world cigars, just ask @Vision, he opened my eyes to the line and found one of my new favorite cigars.

    Itโ€™s true Sean you should come over to Ogden and hit up the browning museum with me. I hear they have guns there. You near Wendover or Elko?

    I spent the fall in Elko a few years ago, beautiful in August, was perplexed when the locals were overwhelmed when it was barely 80. Rode the scooter on Thanksgiving day, then things quickly went to shรญt.

    o yea its cold now! and sorry for the late reply. been busy! As of now i have a heater blower for the garage. I think this spring ima build a enclosed deck for the following winter. having to breakdowns and set ups consistently in the garage is starting to get annoying, but worth it once its done. busting out a chair, propane heater and a make shift table for the laptop is such hard work. haha

    So, it might have been valid, yes?

    Either way, welcome back.

    It was most likely 375Ranger or 325Paratrooper - something along those lines.
    I served in the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment then later in my career I volunteered for Ranger training and went to 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

    Hi all,
    Toby Rapp here, 61, married, father of 11 yo B/G twins and a almost teenage son - one month!
    Semi retired remodeling GC from Portland OR
    Been smoking cigars for over 30 years, a very long time ago, was a member of the JR BB, Herfers Paradise, BIGs and founding member of the WCP.
    Smoking mostly Cubans, bought from FOH while living abroad.... moved home with 500 sticks in a role aboard - no one even blinked - LOL.
    As Habanos SA Has doubled the price of cigars over the last few years, I'm starting to buy NC's and looking to hear what folks are smoking.
    Thanks!
