    Hey what's up. I'm new. My name is Justin, I'm 29 and I'm from north Jersey. I have only recently started smoking cigars, maybe about 3-4 months, but I've become addicted to buying them!

    Hey everyone.  I belong to the DCCC; a cigar club a buddy of mine started up a while back while we are enjoying the sand and sun.  Just became a member of cigar.com near the beginning of the month.  I'm always up for suggestion as to what to try, if anyone has any.

    Welcome guys! Always good to see some new forum members. Also good to have some BOTL's doing such an amazing service for our country join us! Thank you all!
  • Hey guys, I've been reading a lot of posts for a while now but thought I'd introduce myself and post a little more besides the Whatcha smoking threads. I'm Brian, 30, and I live in a suburb of Chicago. I've smoked sparingly for a few years but recently bought a 125 ct humidor and now I'm hooked. I started out with a custom sampler and bought some pretty full bodied smokes (MOW Ruination, Padilla 1932, etc, to name a few). I decided to go on the daily deal a couple weeks ago for the Ccom house labels and I've been working my way through those from most mild to full. So far my favorites would have to be Diesel and Ccom Brazilian Label. I'm still waiting to smoke some of the finer sticks in my original sampler. I'd say I'm on the site about 10 times a day, mostly at work. I'm addicted to checking the daily deals and if I had jumped at all the ones I wanted to I'd be broke by now. The hardest part is living in the midwest and having to deal with the crappy weather. If I lived in a warmer place I'd be outside every day with a smoke. Now I'm out about 3 times a week. Hope to get to know alot of guys here better in the future. Thanks for all the advice I've read about already, and I'm sure I've plenty more questions soon.

    Welcome Brian. Hope to see you around more, this really is a great bunch of guys, more than an internet forum, this is truly a community of cigar lovers.

    just figured I'd bump this up so the new guys know where to go . . .

    not that its a big deal when people start a new thread, but it would keep the clutter down a little.

    I have to agree. I'm starting to have a hard time keeping track of all the newbies.

    Great idea Joe. I just posted last night and am a newcomer on the forum as far as posting. I am 28, live in the StL, Missouri area. Looking forward to doing some trading/passing/bombs etc. If there are any members in the StL area it might be good to get together sometime.

    I completely missed this thread and have been posting sparingly over the last few months.

    I am about 7 months into buying/storing cigars. I have always enjoyed smoking cigars, but didn't do so often b/c I could never quite match up a trip to a B&M to a time when I knew I could smoke. I honestly didn't realize how inexpensive it is to set up a modest humidor and buy/store them for when I get the chance to catch a smoke. I do most of my work once the child (soon to be children) is asleep or at the golf course. I have found the info on this forum to be invaluable as I figure out what kinds of cigars I really enjoy. Thanks for all of the effort in collecting/posting all of the helpful tips and stored knowledge.

    Lastly, I started with a 100ct humi and I can't stop buying. With a shipment from Tim that I should get today, I am going to have to move some to a tupperador. I am so weak.

    Heyo, Ron here Started about this april after having a really wierd dream about smoking cigars. Went up to the local walk in humi here in dover after and allday research-a-thon and grabbed five to give it a try. Needless to say days later I had already order a humi that was to small and found this wonderful website. I've read alot of old post and that has stopped me from posting any newbie question hence this is my first post to say hey.

    My name is Rodney Beckom. I like so many others in my age group, I am overwhelmed with ailments. I got into cigars to escape reality somewhat. I thoroughly enjoy my two hour mini-vacations. Consumed with the rich taste and smell of A good cigar, A man can forget his troubles for A while.
