THE NEWBIE WELCOMING THREAD

 Greetings to everyone and thank you in advance to everyone that welcomes me. 
 I reside in my home state of Wisconsin ( I know I am a cheese head ). I  found it unbelievable this name wasn't taken. As the name goes I was in the Army. Some places I served Ft. Sill, Ft.Knox, Ft. Hood, Red Sands, Germany. There's a few more but not as long as those places. 
 I ride a scoot which my wife comes along every ride. I watch Hockey and Boxing some racing not a NASCAR fan. You might guess I shoot a few weapons my favorite is a 45acp. I reload a lot since the whole family shoots.
I joined this forum for furthering my knowledge. You have a very nice forum here I hope I can contribute in some minor way. I look forward to spirited conversations involving numerous topics.
 I appreciate your time reading my introduction.

Welcome to the forums. I hope you stick around, there's a lot of awesome people here and a lot of knowledge to gleam from others. 

Hello All!

Pretty new to this, and just joined the forum.  I have recently developed a true love for cigar smoking, and am now in the process of finding what I really like, trying many different types of cigars.  This is actually really exciting to get started into.  I am looking forward to learning a lot from others here, and hopefully can find a few folks to burn one with in the Chicagloland area, as none of my current friends smoke.  LOL

Thanks!

Where abouts the Chicago land area are you?  I'm in the northwest suburbs.

Hi guys, not sure how to do the quote thing here, but thanks for replying!  I am out in the west burbs, Oswego. 

I know where Lake Zurich is, my best bud lived there for years, and just moved recently.  It's a bit of a cruise but sure we can get together somewhere. 

I found a nice cigar lounge out here by me in Naperville.  I will start searching for others as well.

Welcome. Thank you for serving. And, thanks for joining the forum. 

Greets all. I'm going through a cigar revival and enjoying it. My humidor was sitting there, with occasional maintenance and a cigar leaving the herd once in a while. Lately, I've gotten back in there grabbing one per day instead of one per quarter.

Back in 2008, I started with the La Gloria Cubana Artisanos de Miami Elegante based on ratings. I've tried a few others, but stuck with those. I just picked up some Daniel Marshall Red Label Churchills and I do really like them.

I think my rekindled cigar love is largely based on our recent move to Tucson. Our house is up high on a hill, with a view of the entire city from a screened porch AKA an Arizona room. It's a great place to kick back, check out the city lights and smoke one.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome from a fellow noob!

love this place. Lots of friendly folks here.
