Hey now

New here and just wanted to say hello. Kind of new to the sport and being in my 40's I think it's high time to stop wasting time with cheap smoke. I've looked around a bit and there is definitely going to be a learning curve stepping it up to the next level. It's like you guys are speaking Japanese in here... And I think that's right where I want to be. Hopefully, over time, some of that will rub off and I'll be able to join in on some spirited cigar talk ;)

    Welcome to the forum. If you are interested in learning about this hobby, read through catfishblues threads, check out kuzi's reviews, and definately read through razmans journals. There's a very broad and accurate wealth of information about cigars there. Also ask lots of questions. The folks here love to offer advice and opinions, and once you decide what you really like, post it all in a discussion thread, and then DUCK! Some of these guys are insanely generous.

    Welcome to you. So, did you take your name from the old Black Sabbath song? Follow JDH's advice above, as well as that of the other folks, use the search button, and don't ask if you should keep the cello on until you've read the 101.

    just bumped the Formatting Thread for photos, vids, etc. The easiest way is to have a photobucket. thats all I use mine for.

    Ok, let's see if this works.. Here's what I am smoking right now. These came from a doctor friend and are largely responsible for why I am here now. I have NO idea if these are really real (I was told they are...) photo 2013_0116Christmas0005_zpsb8f3edf3.jpg photo 2013_0116Christmas0006_zpsf693a515.jpg photo 2013_0116Christmas0007_zps50ddef3b.jpg

    I had some Rocky Patel's a while back that I thought were almost as nice as these. I have a Gerkha torp I am going to try in a few. Mostly, though, I am talking out of my butt. I cannot remember names for anything and I truly do not yet fathom the real difference between any of these.. Ugh! I am determined to learn though.. That being said, can anyone recommend something from the sampler section for a newb? Variety would be really nice :) Sorry these are so big.... photo 2013_0116Christmas0004_zpsd0d76c3d.jpg
