Aloha to all, my name is Jon and I am a total newbie not only to the board but to cigars in general. I have been checking out your board here for about a month and could no longer stay silent. You people are the greatest forum I have ever seen!! I have been on many different topic boards but none have been near what you are in here!! I have been so impressed and sometimes even touched by your bond and camaraderie that I just had to say hello and tell you how impressed I am with your forum. I live in Hawaii and do not know too many people into cigars so my time here is very enlightening to me. I look forward to learning more about cigars and hopefully all of you.

welcome newb!

Aloha CN : I say that because I don't know if I'm coming or going, welcome aboard. JonR

HOWDY from Texas Jon. I am also a newbie and these folks are fun and interesting. Be looking foward to talking to you. Adios - BUD

Aloha, CN... Welcome aboard...

It is customary that all newbies host a herf at their house... HAWAII HERF !!!! I'm there...

Low

It's funny because i always get jealous when i hear about this herf or that herf, this show or that show... i don't see any here in hawaii. so, you come on out here and it's on!! BTW, the prices out here for a good smoke is pretty outrageous so me thinks ya better bring some along...

Welcome CN!

Take you shoes off, kick up your feet, light up a cigar, and join in on the party!

Aloha Bra! I'm there! Did you say what Island? Ofcourse it really doesn't matter, they're all great. The air smells like flowers and water is nice and toasty.

I'm pretty new here too and I agree with your assessment of the quality of folks.

Welcome!

Welcome, C-newb

Just to answer a quick question before you even ask it, whether to leave the cello on or take it off before putting the cigars down for their nap in your humidor is something on which we are greatly divided ... either way you choose to go, some of us will agree with you and some will not ...

However, the single thing that we are in near-uniformity of opinion about, is that if you choose the cello on method of storage, you should always remove it before lighting your cigar.

Cello off!

Welcome CN 🙂 Don't be afraid to ask questions. Just makes sure you use the "search" function first 🙂
