    Hi, my name is Stan. I'm 24 and have been in the US for about 5 years now :). Originally from far away Bulgaria. A recent college graduate with a passion for EVERYTHING! I work in the school I graduated from and had recently started to enjoy cigars on a regular basis. Got my whole set-up going and am reading up on my Idiot's Guide for Cigars :). I made an entry in the forums with a BANG lol (look at the trades and passes forum), but am really a very steady type of a person. lol... I'm looking forward to learning more about cigars and possibly making some trades - i like games... Cheers!

    :) Thanks to all of you! Stan, I have been in the States since 2000. Ill update my info. Hit me up if you ever come to Vegas, and we will go to Casa Fuente for a mojito and a fine cigar.
  • Hey All, My name is Jimmy Huddleston & I live in Lubbock, Tx. I am 31 yrs. old, married, with a 2 1/2 yr old. I just smoked my 3rd official "real" ( non-convenience store) cigar. I picked up the hobby to quit smoking cigarettes and it is working so far (down to about three a day - maybe less). So far, I am completely consumed with getting set up to where all I have to do is grab one and enjoy while I relax. Also, I would be completely cool with it if anyone wanted to send me a trial cigar or two to help me get started on the right foot....LOL! Looking forward to learning from all who contributes.

    Hello all, Mark here from Minneapolis. I have had a few cigars over the years ( usually pieces of dried out wood handed to me by a golf partner). But, 2 weeks ago at my sons wedding, a friend handed me a MOW Ruination and I was hooked. He also sent me this link and I have been spending waaaayyy too much time at work reading these threads and getting educated. The general non-puffing public has no idea the subtleties and nuances of a good cigar, I know I didn't. Keep up the good reviews and discussion.

    Hey Mark ,,, Welcome it's nice to have you here.
  • j0z3rj0z3r Posts: 9,403 ✭✭
    Welcome aboard Mark. Your friend sure did start you off with a good cigar...I would have been floored, literally on the floor, if someone gave me a Ruination as a first cigar, they're not light on strength. Good to have you here, see you around.
  • Mike here, from the St. Louis, MO area. I, like some others on here, was an infrequent smoker, mostly of mediocre cigars. My friend gave me a Cohiba (Cameroon?, not exactly sure on the specific type) to smoke and that was it. It had been a while since I had a cigar that good and now I think that smoking finer cigars will become a more regular habit of mine. I have started checking out the web and stumbled upon this site.

    I look forward to reading about others experiences and using those to help me pick a good cigars to try. I also hope to return the favor and let others know about good cigars that I may stumble upon.
