    Hey everyone! My name is Mason, I am from Eau Claire, Wisconsin! Diehard Packer, Brewer fan! I'm 20 years old and relatively new the the cigar world. I have been buying off of this site like crazy! Samplers, samplers and more samplers! So far, my favorites are Diamond Crown Maximus! Montecristo White are also pretty good. My early loser is definitely an Acid Kuba Kuba, not a fan at all! I am excited to try more cigars and would love for some suggestions. I am really not that picky! Sometimes I like a Mild-Medium and sometimes I like a Full Bodied. If anyone would suggest some of their favorites that would be awesome! Everyone seems like they are great people on this forum and I am eager to meet you all!

    Hey Mason, welcome to the forum. I'll try not to hold the Packer thing against you.

    Welcome maymg.

    I'm curious, what led you to cigars? How does a young fellow get interested, today, with all the anti-tobacco propaganda you've almost certainly been inundated with since birth, how did you find your way into the world of cigars?

    At any rate, enjoy, look around, as others have said, there's an incredible amount of info here to dig out.

  • J.S.J.S. Posts: 754
    Welcome to the fun! I remember just starting out as a young guy. I don't think my pockets were as deep as yours with all the samplers you are buying. I was lucky to get 2 or 3 a month back then. Keep smoking and enjoy the journey.
  • Hi, My name is Eddie Thatch on this site, but my given name is Zach.

    I am new to smoking cigars, roughly a year in, and I have made my way up from Jr's to slightly better cigars.

    I recently met someone and struck up a conversation at a black keys concert where I was informed this is the site to be on.

    So far the cigars I have smoked and enjoy are a A. Fuente - Hemingway Signature; Gurka Ghost; AF 858; Camacho.

    Again I am new, and I have been on alternatives due to price.

    I was told, not the way to go, and that this site would lead me in the right direction !

    Hey! Well, my sister's boyfriend smokes frequently. He has a walk in humidor in his house with thousands of cigars. Also, my uncle is an avid cigar smoker, so every time I got together with them I would smoke, then I decided one day that I wanted to start a collection of my own! Also, my mom, dad, and 2 sisters smoke cigarettes. I will never touch cigarettes or chewing tobacco, I have had my fair share with that nasty stuff and will never do it again! There really isn't much better than hanging out with family and/or friends enjoying cigars!

    Interesting. Sounds like you're starting well. I was curious as to how you had known of the cigars you are starting with, nice selections, the sister's boyfriend explains a lot.
