Have we surpassed the weekly quota of newbies? I've been a lurker as well. Name is Ray from central California. I've been buying cigars online for a few years now to escape the Ca. taxes. I'm not real heavy gar chomper but I've been smoking cigars on and off for 20 years. More so now. The wife hasn't completely come on board with my cigar hobby, I'm still required to imbibe outside or in the patio. Thankful we have pretty good weather here. I haven't participated in too many forums. I mostly have looked, bought, searched and absorbed some information. I like the way the regulars treat one another here, so maybe I'll start popping in more often. I've been doing a lot of sampling buying from several sites. I tend to go on the mild to moderate side as far as smokes go. My regulars are mostly Macanudo (Duke de Devon, Portofino), A. Fuente (Double chateau, churchill, seleccion privada 1), Partagas Maduro #1. I'm looking to expand my horizons a bit as well as my cigar budget, until I get my humidors filled up.
Nice to meet y'all. If you would like me to send my required newbie cigars out, I think I have an old box of White Owl's lying around with "It's a girl!" labels.
