you may not believe this as most of you may think I am some old fart that has been smoking cigars even before most of you were a twinkle in your parent's eyes, but actually I started smoking cigars as the boom was ending (I am no bandwagon type, and I have been a Yankees fan since the day I was born 36 years ago) so I didn't have to suffer through the shortages paying extortion amounts for riff raff cigars. Anyway I have read every piece of information I could get my hands on, countless books, articles and magazines, etc... (I think I have a point to all this, we'll see) I am very happy with how the cigar market is now, great cigars are plentiful, and the price is right. But this forum is the first opportunity I have really had to share my thoughts and ideas about cigars, as none of my friends smoke cigars, it has been a lonely endeavor on my behalf, so that is one reason why I am around here so much and have made it a part of my daily routine. I am in this for life, I smoke on average two cigars a day, and I have a three year supply on hand as I write, and for me the cigars will only get better as eventually everything I smoke will have been aged at least two years. (still don't know if there was any point to this, I would submit mostly self indulgence)
