Aloha everyone,
I am a new cigar smoker. I have tried them over the years, I am 48, but never really liked them until I found CCOM. I watched the instructional videos and read the forums, as much as I could, and learned the proper way to go about things. That made a huge difference and I am now really enjoying the flavors and different bodies of cigars.
I live in Hawaii and am a US Navy Retiree. I buy my smokes mostly at the Navy Exchange here, and yes they have a very good selection, or at a place called Tobaccos of Hawaii which is in my hometown of Wahiawa. I smoke between 4 and 5 cigars a month. That is increasing though with the experience as I now know how to enjoy them to their fullest.
I have also posted in the Trades, Passes and Bombs forum as well and hoping that I can trade with other and expand my tasting horizons.
Mahalo nui loa,
Edward

Some friendly words of advice:
1: Try as many different blends as possible.
2: Don't be afraid to voice your opinion. We may cuss and feud with each other, but that's what families do.
3: Openly post your address, it's just easier that way.
4: Make fun of Jiunns photo skills.
5: Beware of people named Mike, Tony, Steve, Jim, Daniel, Brian, Matt, Justin... Aww Hell, be afraid of us all!

Maholo nui loa!
Aloha Fellow Squid!
One of the reason I want to do the trading is to get some cigars that I may not buy for myself. Seeing the diversity here so far, I am thinking that won't be an issue. LOL. I just sent off my first box of trades so hopefully I can start getting onto the good traders list soon and all will be good.

Hey yall. Name is RJ, 23 yrs old, from South Carolina, currently deployed to Afghanistan. I never really considered cigars (mainly cause my mom smoked cigarettes and I didn't know the difference) until I was offered one before I left to come here. I forget the name but it was an interesting experience. A few days later my friend offered me another one (Rocky Patel) and that was very enjoyable. I found what I enjoy the most about cigar smoking is the time to escape (especially from this place) and the people you smoke with. So I have finally bought myself a humi and have a couple samplers on their way here now. I look forward to meeting some BOTL and if any of yall are in SC we should smoke one when I come home.
