Welcome brother and it's nice to have another Colorado-an on here If you want to get introduced to what a trade is, then send me a message. (Click the "contact" button and then the "Send X a private message" button to do so)

Thanks for all the welcome notes, who can I discuss with how trades work?
Best thing to do is set up a blind trade on the Trades, Passes, and Bombs thread. Send first and someone will send sticks back. Actually, just send me a PM, we'll hook this up.
Howdy, y'all!(No, I don't really talk like that...) Newbie to the forum but not to great smokes, though I have had my share of turds. Glad to know that I've found a place where I can revel in TBOT and not feel like an idiot.
Thanks for the welcoming, guys. In case you're wondering what TBOT stands for, it's what my friend calls "The Brotherhood of Tobacco". Similar to BTOL, I reckon. Sorta kinda, almost, nearly, pert-near...
Hello to all. My name is Jason, I'm 29, and live in B.F.E., MO. I've enjoyed cigars over the years but now I'm looking to really get into the hobby. I usually buy cigars others recommend or ones with higher ratings as long as they're reasonably priced, as I haven't found what I really like and dislike. I look forward to getting to know you all and discovering some really good smokes along the way.
Welcome to the forum goatmilk! If you email service@cigar.com and tell them what kind of cigars you are into they will build an awesome sampler for you to try out new stuff that's similar to what you're used to and help expand your horizons
Hey all, a new guy here too. Sorry, I didn't see this thread, posted an introduction in a different area. Anyways, my name is Leon, I am 39, and live in western Colorado. I work as a quality control inspector for Reynold's Polymer (Google it, pretty cool stuff) I enjoy fishing, hunting, anything to do with gins, archery, golf, and four wheeling. Looking forward to getting to know all of you while on here. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
