    I've been reading through these forums a ton and have used it to learn everything up to this point. I got a decent sized humidor actually holding a respectable RH and temp, so the advice around here is quite good! I have just bought some random cigars and honestly have no idea what I am doing. All I know is so far I've only had 1 cigar that I didn't like. This is a great forum, good work everyone!

    Buy two more, wait a year and smoke number two, wait five years and smoke number three. If they still suck, never buy a mother one. If they are good at one or five years buy a box and hold them for as long as necessary!

    Welcome, Jared. Good to have you aboard. We have a few other brothers in the NorCal area - Citrus heights, Folsom, etc. Potential Herf in the forecast.

    the cigars from venus are pretty good, but taste kinda fishy... odd when you think venus is a desert-scape planet though...

    Right. And right now you're smoking something other than a cigar, correct?? LOL

    I am smoking a gurkha right now so you are right. Svetlana is tired. Very cold on the dark side of the moon.

    Hello fellow BOTL and SOTL, I am 42, married for 22 years.....well 22nd anniversary is in 3 days. Have 4 wonderful children, 2 grown and gone, 2 at home. I'm a newbie, just got my first humi, got 1 more day seasoning before I can put my stogies in. Looking forward to getting to know you all and learn a lot. Before you ask, I made a newb mistake of getting a cheap, small humi. 20 ct. but it will work for now. Will get a bigger, better, later on. Like the looks of the MoW humi I seen on another thread, maybe I'll get that one.

    The BOTL and the SOTL are generous with newbs so I suggest getting a bigger one and quick.

    I am 29 (30 next month...yikes!) and from Minnesota. I am married with three kids and I work in sales (non-retail). I have been dipping my toes into the cigar hobby for a year or so. My favorite cigar thus far is La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso. I am always on the lookout to try the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills!
