Hello everyone! New to the forums and just wanted to take a minute and say hi with a little about myself. My name is Jeremy, born and raised a bit south of Rochester NY but now I do live in the city of Rochester. Did an 8 year tour in the Navy, was a Corpsman 8404 with the Marines. Now I'm a woodworker. Hobbies are of course cigars, and golf. Only have been smoking cigars for 2 years now but there is just nothing finer than a great cigar with a good whiskey, scotch, or bourbon. I like sports, mainly hockey (St Louis Blues) and football (Eagles). I wont bore you to much, just wanted to say hi and thanks for having me!

    Hey, Jeremy.

    I think @Diver43 was from around those parts too.

    Welcome and thank you for your service.  When we lived up north, my son went to RIT.  at the time, I was smoking gas station cigars and my son brought home a man made cigar from a B & M in Rochester... and the rest is history.

    By the way, my standard advice, get a bigger humidor (or in your case, build a bigger one) and get a second job.

    And thank you as well for your service my friend. Here's a little something I remember from all the way back in boot camp. A Corpsman told me to hold a vial of penicillin when I was about to get a shot. There were several sevicemen waiting there for treatment and I just assumed that this was his way of keeping track of who got which shot, but there was a different reason. He explained that the penicillin was a thick liquid that had to be stored cold but, just by warming the penicillin to body temperature before I got the shot, it wouldn't be nearly as painful. Now, I'd had penicillin before and they had hurt plenty. He was right. Almost painless compared to cold penicillin. I was happy. And through the years, I taught this little trick to a few civilian nurses who were in too much of a hurry,..... about to rush some cold penicillin into my, uh...... system. LOL

    Welcome Jeremy.  I was in the Navy too, an I Level AT here in Jacksonville and aboard the Harry S. Truman.  It's pretty much what I still do today.  

    There's a good group of fellows here.  I hope you enjoy yourself.

    Hey everyone.  I just recently got my hands on some behike 56.  So exciting. Was curious what everyone thinks about storage. Should I place them in a completely separate humidor from my other sticks?
  • dirtdudedirtdude Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭✭✭
    If you have good storage I dont think they care if they are laying next to royalty or dog rockets.
