After quietly lurking on the Forum for a few weeks now, I figured it was high time that I introduced myself and said hello. While I have always appreciated the occasional cigar from time to time, I have recently decided to really start enjoying the things I love and cigars were right at the top of that list. What's more, I have really gotten a kick out of learning from all of you. The crew here at CBid really seem to be my kind of people, real Brothers and Sisters of the Leaf, so I'm happy to join the group…that is, if you'll have me...

When I'm not smoking cigars on my porch in Chicago, I am an MBA student at the University of Chicago and a small business owner on the side. I tend to stick to my standard favorites like Avos, Bucaneros (I'm a big fan of those), an the occasional CAO, but I’m interested in trying some new tastes, picking up a few deals, and comparing notes with you guys to get a good sense of what else I’m missing.

So, that's my story. Sorry for the long post...take care.

Welcome. My daughter loves Chicago, or rather Navy Pier. This forum is full of good people. That's why I joined recently, too.

Oh sorry ... wrong Gideon ...

Anyway, welcome aboard, and DON'T send any cigars to SteveS or any matches to Lowman ... ;^)

Welcome to the board. Since Slim started off with a bible reference I will add the only passage which refers directly to smoking:

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. Genesis 24:64

Seriously, welcome to the funny farm!

RICKAMAVEN reminded me of an old bartender joke. It works for anyone really. When someone (works best if they're female) tries to tell you how to make a drink or do your job... "Hey, I don't jump up and down on the bed when you're workin'!"

Don't mind me, I've had a few... just got home from band practice.

Welcome Gideon

Welcome aboard!

(As deep as the BS gets in here at times, it might be a good idea to keep the shoes on.)

Welcome Gideon, these guys will make you feel welcome immediately... and then the abuse starts. ;-)

E-chick, I've got a couple boxes I was going to get rid of. One RyJ and one Nicole miller. Send me your address and I'd be happy to mail then to you if you're interested. HarleyDave3565(at)yahoo(dot)com.

Thanks for the love, everybody. Thank you much. Glad to part of the crew - I can already see that this is going to be fun ride.

Oh and to respond to rmarrandino's question, I live in the city. Why don't you and Penguin13 drop me an email - perhaps we can meet up for a smoke sometime down the road...
