Hi All...I'm new to cigar smoking and to the forum. Got interested in cigars through a friend. He recommended I give it a try based on my love of whiskeys and coffees. I'm glad he did as I'm really enjoying learning more about cigars, and trying different blends. So far I haven't really been drawn to the more mild, lighter sticks. My favorites at this point have been the Oliva O toro, Punch toro, and the Onyx Reserve robusto...great experiences with all three, but the Onyx blew my mind. I still have burns on my fingertips from smoking that one down as far as I could. 
Anywho...I look forward to getting to know everyone here. From what I've read so far, there is a lot of knowledge in here. Have a great weekend...Jeff
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations.

I am happy to welcome you, Jeff, as long as you're not Jeff Smeltzer. If you are, then I will still welcome you, just stop giving out my phone number and pretending it's yours!
Oh, and if you are Smeltzer, your hearing aids, back brace, knee brace and shoulder support are ready, and your 2015 Toyota's extended warranty has run out.
Seriously, welcome. There is a wealth of knowledge here if you look for it. A good deal of sass, too.
