Hey how's everybody doing?

New member here and wanted to do an intro. I've been smoking cigars for a few years now and have become somewhat more serious with them over the last 6 months. I'm finding as I get older that a glass or two of good bourbon or wine combined with a cigar is a nice way to relax as opposed to getting hammered on cheap beer.

Cigars that I'm in to are the CAO Flathead 660, San Cristobal Revalation, basic Padrons, and Kristoff Maduro. My everyday smoke (but more like twice a week) right now is the 5 Vegas Classic. I'm finding a lot of cigars in the $7 to $10 range that I like, but I'm having trouble finding cheaper cigars that I can smoke more frequently as going from one every couple of weeks to smoking 3 or so a week is getting more pricey. Right now the 5 Vegas is doing a decent job of that. One cigar that I've tried and want more of but I think it is new and not available many places is the Hoyo La Amistad (by AJ Fernendez) I got 2 in a sampler from a cigar event. I smoked one and would really like to find more.

Flavor profile would be more cocoa, coffee, earthy cigars and not so much spice (but not totally against spice). I've found cigars that I like from mild to full and like to keep things a bit diverse.

Any advice on preferred everyday-type smokes would be welcome and I plan to spend more time researching now that I've found the forum. I might try to bid occasionally as well.

I apologize if there is a section for member intro's that I missed. Mods feel free to move if I overlooked.

Thanks all in advance!

The only mod in this forum is ZRX's mom so if you like to get an upgrade here I would suggest camping with him to speed up the process.


On a more serious note sounds like you would enjoy a lot of AJ Fernandez cigars so try the Man O War and Diesel labels which are generally good bang for the buck cigars. Always remember when bidding losing is a sign of weakness!

Does a name like Teedubya strike you as sexy? Yes, but I'd need a pic to know for sure.

Well sounds like a setup to the camping question....

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be on the lookout for some.

Victor posted a pic of me earlier but got banned because of it.

Answer me this, do you like taco flavored kisses or burrito burps better?

Grew up in Alexandria, but live near South Bend (live in Mishawaka).

I didn't attend Moose Manor Herf because I already had plans for that weekend. I'm going to try to make it next year.

Wow what a welcome! Sorry for the late response I was out on site for a project today and just got back from my son's last fall baseball game.

I'm trying to catch up to all the questions so I guess I'll start with my mom makes good pancakes but watching the wife cook waffles in the morning is a lot more fun.

I am a Colts fan. Tom Brady is over rated but I bet is cool to hang out with. Belichick is crazy good and made Cassel look like a superstar; how good would Brady have been getting sacked 10 times a game QBing for the Texans. But if Belichick was as good as they claim he wouldn't have been fired in Cleveland. I am embarrassed over deflate gate though.

As for the FAQ link - wow! That would take a lot of wax to clean up.

I'm a Hoosier by birth but Boiler by the grace of God. BS in Engineering 2004. I get along with IU fans fine except the drunk guys at the bar who have never been to Bloomington that won't shut up about how wrong I am for liking Purdue. I've taken more IU classes than most IU fans and I only took 2.

I'm from Shelbyville and in Greenfield now. I didn't go to the herf because it was last weekend and found the forum on Sunday. I would have checked into it had I known.

I prefer taco flavored kisses - I think. I'm assuming that we are talking the pink variety.

Thanks for the second suggestion for the Man O' War and Diesel. I will be picking some up.

I'm good with being called Jaxoff, though I usually outsource that job.

Dayum, you just missed a great herf in Marion, IN. Hoping to have another in the spring. Keep your eyes open onhere about that time. Would love to have you attend. And have time for your trailer to spend the night. Hoping to do a Friday-Sunday in the spring if not Thursday-Sunday.

t33 thanks for the welcome and sounds like a fun time. Will definitely be on the lookout for the next one.

And I just picked up a 10 pack of MOW Ruination on Joe's Deal and the MOW 5 Star sampler in the whack-a-mole. Thanks for the suggestions I'm looking forward to those too.

Losing is a sign of weakness. Smoke what you like but like what you smoke and umm.... never pass out a stick you wouldn't smoke. Otherwise welcome.

Good answer.
Bourbon made anywhere other than Kentucky is just muddy lake water.

Little note most don't know...
Whiskey may be made everywhere from Brooklyn to Scotland but in 1964, Congress declared bourbon "America's Native Spirit." That means to be called bourbon, it must be made in the U.S. But really, everyone knows that means Kentucky—95 percent of the world's bourbon is made in Kentucky.

Yes I love walks on the beach, especially at night.

I just put myself in the fire on the PIB I think.

I was unaware that it was official. Thanks for the info. And yes, if it's not made with Kentucky limestone, it's just not the same.
