    Hi,

    My name is Bob, I have been enjoying good cigars for about 5 months.  Before that we thought that we were cool in college if we lit up a Dutchmaster, good thing I wised up.  I am from upstate NY and I will most likely have lots of questions.

     

     

    YO....

    Welcome Bob! Where in upstate NY are you from? I was born and raised just north of Norwich / south of Hamilton.

    I don't know Luko hitting 3000 has opened up more questions for me and I'm still amazed how my smoke choices have evolved over the last year ( due in large part to the games and bombs and passes here) . Tastes have changed a lot. It is interesting how much knowledge we soak up off the forum though ...the couple guys I smoke with at work are very one dimensional on what they think and smoke. Now one of my buddies did turn me on to the Gurkha Ancient Reserve which I think is excellent !
  • Hi there, My name is Kristen and I've been enjoying cigars for about 2 years now. I usually only have a chance to smoke on the weekends so my experience is still somewhat limited. I hope you don't mind a girl joining the boys club here! My favorite cigars I have tried so far are CAO Brazilia Go!, 5 Vegas "A" Box Press, and Gurkha Master Select Robusto #4. Looking forward to learning more and trying some great new sticks!

    Welcome to the boards, Kristen. It's always refreshing to see girls in the hobby, I think cigars really should be enjoyed by everyone. You should give the Nica Libre a try, if you like the Brazilia Go!.

    Welcome Kristen! Also, since you liked the CAO Gol! you might also want to try the Ccom house blends Brazilia Label. I love this cigar and my pavorite size is the petit corona. just a thought...

    Chiming in with my welcome to Tom and Kristen as well. This forum is an awesome place to ask questions, learn more and more, and make great friends. As a newbie myself, I'm on the forums every day (though I bet a lot of the veterans do the same...it's just addictive! lol).

    So welcome aboard, and I know we all look forward to getting to know you both.

    My laptop is always beside me and the forums are always open in a window or tab. Addicted to say the least.

    X2 on that one!

    My name is Dan.  I recently received my box of Brazilian Labels and smoked one last night.  What a delight!  I too like the CAO Brazilia and prefer maduros, especially those from Esteli.

    I could be considered a neophyte since I have only been smoking for a decade and only seriously for the past four years or so.  I have to add that I really enjoy the catalog cigars.com provides with the orders it almost borders on being a magazine with it's articles and ratings pages.  Good work guys, it is really impressive.

    Can't believe nobody jumped on this! when I first joined, another BOTL posted the same thing and I took him up on it. ejenne87, that's very generous offer. I hope some newbie doesn't miss out.

    I don't know if I am newbie enough since I have been posting like crazy with all my free time. Don't look at my post count check out the join date :)

    I jumped right in and made some trades and hit the good guy list already. Should have slowed down a bit.
