    I'm Dennis. 33, live in Salem OR. I started enjoying cigars about 8 years ago, or at least I tried. I smoked them too fast, they weren't stored properly, etc. My best friends father in law used to give him boxes of Indian Tabacs so we would smoke those and that's what got me started. I still like all Rocky Patels/ITC for the most part, some Fuente's, although the higher end (OpusX) are hard to come by in my area. I also like a lot of Perdomos, the Habano Maduro is a fav. of mine. I tend to like the darker or spicier cigars. I stumbled across the forum by accident, I just placed my second order on here for the Gurkha deal so I'm looking forward to trying something new. Anyway, nice to meet all of you, I'm looking forward to learning more.
    Welcome Dennis. Pull up a chair, and enjoy the conversations. Great info. shared here.

    Welcome and Happy Early Bday!!! Let me be the first to deal out the spankings....

    oh.... I'll wait till you get to know me first...
  • thanks for the birthday wishes, maybe we should settle on you being the first to send me birthday wishes rather than the spankings
  • kaspera79kaspera79 Posts: 7,257 ✭✭✭
    Hey Zach... welcome. Don't worry, 30s not so bad. Pick out a nice one for that special day.

    Hi Y'all, My name is Jason and I am 31yo. I am relatively new to the cigar smoking experience, but am learning quickly. I am friends with jihiggs and he is showing me the ropes (along with you guys here on the forums). I am a CNC machinist and live in the Seattle area. I am thinking about making a coolidor this weekend because I have a whole bunch of sticks coming in next week and nowhere near enough space. I've read that it's no use going small, and I don't have the budget to go big and fancy.

    My experience as of yet is pretty limited, but so far, I am liking anything by RP and La Aroma De Cuba. I had a 5 Vegas series A that was ok and am a huge fan of the few El Cobre's I've had from Jimmy's stash. Not digging the Macanudo Maduro I had or Punch.

    I am really looking forward to trying out the variety that I have coming to further expand my horizons and hone in on the flavors I like. Thanks for providing such a great site and forum to make for an enjoyable learning experience.

    Jason

    Not liking Macanudo and Punch are both good things....

    Welcome to the new guys. This board is a great place to hang, and the games ARE a bunch of fun (if you have the inventory to back it up lol). I'm bulking up my inventory now so I'll be in the games again soon...

    Hey jason, welcome to the family.
  • Hi,
    Newbie here. Been around for a little while. Just got my first COTMC order and I've been stoked since. If there wasn't any rain today, I would've cracked it open, but it was pouring, and I couldn't bear it outside...so I went out for a small J Fuego Delirium instead. I'm looking forward to some great times here, and I've already had great interactions with Cigar.com's customer service. It's the closest thing to actually having someone walk you into their humidor and show you around. Cheers, and good smokes!

    P.S: I wasn't able to login to the forums with Firefox 3 on Apple OS X 10.5. Anyone else experience that?

    ~Thom

    welcome and sorry bout your firefox mishap. I've noticed since they've gone to FF 3 it has become way less stable. Like mine crashes after flash videos and i have no idea how to fix it. So i just use opera.

    I'm up in Boston. I was referring to Gloucester Street Cigar Co in my earlier post about actually being walked through someone's humidor. If anybody is in the area, I'd love to enjoy a smoke sometime.

    Thanks everyone, these daily deals and the weekend blitz are killing me! (oh so good though) I've gone from 0 to almost a hundred sticks in about a week. I really need to slow down...
