I have been on here for three months now, and I feel I am beginning to figure out how this works. Although I am still learning. I have not reached 500 post yet but I did receive a bomb, still working through that! I have found a few more sticks that I like and looking for more! As a BOTL that reintroduced me to gars said: "I now understand women and shoes!" as we stood in the humidor at his favorite B&M.
1. Found some more cigars that I like, and still looking for more!
2. Have acquired a coolidor, and starting to fill it with new sticks.
3. Have learned the proper way to light a cigar!
4. I have a favorite cutter, Colibri V cutter.
5. I have a favorite lighter, butane triple burner
6. I have met some great people that also enjoy the hobby!
Thank you!
I am a happy man. You have made me very grateful. For this is the very first time that the Crown Jewels have ever been adequately & deliriously praised by an unprejudiced person. Still it is the cigars' own fault that this is so for it is a cigar which excites envy & jealousy in the smoker because he knows & feels the truth of which you have said; that there is no other cigar that is just like it. There are cigars which resemble it but only in appearance, not in spirit & not in the ability to dare & do. There is no other cigar that can make a person want to go away & get by himself & think this life over & wonder if it is altogether worth while. I will send you some more when you get out. Let me know. Any man of fine intelligence who is acquainted with Crown Jewels prizes them above any other gems & saves them & hoards them. I gave Harry Rogers a box two years ago & he has them yet. Let me know when you are out.

1. Found some more cigars that I like, and still looking for more!
Yep. There's no end in sight. And, I don't look as hard as I used to. I let my fellow BOTLs alert me to new stuff.
2. Have acquired a coolidor, and starting to fill it with new sticks.
Yep. Still doin' that. I got bunches of coolers.
3. Have learned the proper way to light a cigar!
Yep. But I still screw it up sometimes.
4. I have a favorite cutter, Colibri V cutter.
I got one of those too. My favorite is the Xikar teardrop cutters.
5. I have a favorite lighter, butane triple burner
I love my Colibri CEO triple for all-purpose use. But if I'm at home It's gonna be a soft flame from my alec bradley burner. Also, I have a dozen or more lighters that mostly go neglected.
6. I have met some great people that also enjoy the hobby!
You SAID it!

Not sure I've made it to that point yet.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
