Hello all
Just thought I would introduce myself. I am 33 years old and have been smoking cigars for 15 years.

I like a variety of sticks and my choice depends on my mood.

Some of my favorite cigars = Gurkha
Some of the worst cigars I have ever tried = Gurkha

Cubans favorites = Monte Cristo #2 and Partagas 1845 (I don't smoke these often as they are expensive and money is hard to come by in my profession)

Discontinued favorite = Drew Estate Suaza Tequila tubos. (yes they are infused feel free to chastise me) I also like the old Olivia Orion the one that had the red band made of cloth. Pm me for a pic if you are curious.

Favorite Dailey smoke = Carlos Torano Exodus 1959

Favorite yard gar = trader jack kickin cigars (these are absolutely the bottom of the barrel garbage but I love them. They are a buck a piece and I confess... Sometimes I even smoke them when I am not doing yard work.)

I always like to try new things so let me know if you have any suggestions based on the info above.
If you would like more info ask away.

Btw if any one could tell me how to change my user name it would be awesome

welcome, you sure you don't have bottom of the barrel switched in your intro??? just askin................. head on over to the NOOB PIB trade thread to gain some credibility and some much better 1.00 sticks that will certainly surprise you.

I don't believe you can change your handle once your account has been set up.

Welcome a board.

Be very careful, a couple of the west coast guys will ask you to go camping in a van down by the river.

Pancakes, but only because waffles are so resistant to my butter spreading efforts. As for the beaches and long walks it depends on the weather.

My suggestion is to cut up your CC now, or just run away.

Otherwise, get a couple huge coolers or a tower and remember you've been warned.

Beer

U got room?

Cbid aint called the devil site for nothing.

Many a humidor been filled in some drunken underbidding efforts. Lucky for me the golden days have passed and my credit card has been mostly safe, but occasionally an underbid will slip through. Happened last week actually, a box of Joya Red for 40 bucks. Hell, I aint mad.

Cigar talk in an introduction? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Smoke better and fewer, best advise ever. And don't be afraid to try things out of your normal rotation, if you feel like experimenting you're always welcome in my van.

Waffles are for commie twinks.

Pancakes are for real Americans.

Waffles are for true American Heroes!

Pancakes are for weirdos that like camping in vans... down by the river.


FIFY!

The 1959 Exodus is a nice daily smoke.

BTW - a Partagas 1845 is not from Cuba... they are made in the Dominican Republic IIRC.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy our site. There is a ton of knowledge through the at times fun mayhem.

The only way to change your username would be to create a new account; but for that you would need to use a different email address.

My apologies the partagas would be the lusitania or number 10.
Nice catch

It's a good start. I'll still refer to my previous post. You'll need a cooledor soon!

But am confused. How can you smoke a Monte #2 & Parti Lusi CCs and still smoke Ghurkas & Toranos??? Blasphemy!

Simple... I am a blasphemer.
But, also like I said earlier the main reason I joined this group is I want to try different things. Most of my cigars are at least 8 years old. I figured people here could help me find some new favorites (preferably that are still in production)
