    Hi, Edward here, from Cape Cod. I just stumbled on this forum after putting in an order at Ccom. Been smoking cigars for about a year now and slowly learning. Recently been exploring cigars with Cameroon wrappers to get some idea about what's out there. I also smoke a pipe and use nasal snuff.

    I believe there is a factory in England in operation that has continually made snuff the same way since about then.

    I would have a hard time snorting anything called Abraxas... Isn't that the cleaner in Fallout?

    That would be "Abraxo". Abraxas snuffs are made by a retired London cop, really fine 'boutique' quality. It's also the name of a Santana album from the early '70s, among other things.

    Hello to all. I am Michael. I moved from Chicago to Albuquerque NM about 10 years ago and love the high desert. A golf balls flys further here ( thin air ) and cigars are less expensive if you buy them on the native reservation (less tax). I started smoking cigars in the boom of the 90s, quit for a while, now really enjoying them again. I enjoy A. Fuentes of course, and anything AJ Fernandez makes!! Have had great service from Cigar.com! More info at a later date.
    Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.

    Hey guys! My name is Adam and I just got around to smoking cigars after I finished up college just this past summer. I thought this would be a good place to start for a broader range and greater advice on cigars... Haha unless we're all just smoking cigars, getting drunk and talking from our azzes. Either way, I learned cigars really take a back seat to the real interest here which is getting to meet all the great people on here and those who hold the same hobby. In sum... Hahaha can't wait to meet all you jackazzes.

    By the Way... Georgia shout out!!
