Hello everyone. I am fairly new to the board and I wanted to introduce myself properly. My name is Mike and I am from the Northeast Ohio area. I have been lurking for a couple of months now and I find the cbid forum to be very helpful and informative to someone like myself. I have managed to steal a few good deals and I am looking forward to talking to everyone here and making some new friends. It is good to read posts from people who appreciate cigars as I do. Somehow the wife just does not understand.

I am the wife of an addicted C-Bidder. I didn't understand it at first either---the many hours looking at the forum and bidding on cigars when he already had a humidor full. Then he even made a humidor that is 7 feet high by 4 feet wide so he could buy more. It is easy to get caught up in it. I have even gotten the bug. I don't smoke cigars myself but there is a ton of other stuff that is great. I got a wine bottle opener for a terrific price. My advice---let her be a part of the fun. Then she will understand.

Have fun.

P.S. If you want to stay out of trouble with your wife, stay clear of some of the picture posts.

Welcome to the CBid forums Mike!!!!

Ha, ha,ha......very funny.

Welcome to the insanity, the forums, not the cigars. I like to call the forums, "the Addiction", and the cigars, " The Obsession."

Enjoy this Place.

oh yea, mike, keep your wife off the forum too. Very important.

Welcome Mike,

I''m somewhat of a newbie myself... My advice is to get a credit card just for Cbid and don't let the wife know about it. LOL Then do a search for "coolidor" so you will have enough space for the deals you just can't pass up.

Kornazoo - I am from Mentor, which is about 15 miles east of Cleveland. Right now it feels like the coldest place on earth.

Goody - Have been smoking for about 5 months now. Some favorites are CAO Black, Fire by Indian Tabac & Macanudo Hyde Park. Have not smoked too many others.

My wife did bid on a couple of lots for me, so I am hoping that she wll come around soon. 🙂

Thanks for the warm welcome from all.

Welcome straz. By the three you listed, you've got good taste. Hope your wallet is ready to support it. Welcome to your new life.

straz20: pull up a stool, grab a smoke and stay awhile.

I don't haven't heard a lot about the Fire on this board. I have tried one and liked it a lot. Something about "triple fermented" filler and binder. Very different. Even though I tend to like the mild and medium smokes, I thought the Fire was very interesting. Looking for more at a good price. Shouldn't be a problem here.

Let's see, where's that "Quickies" button?

Received an Indian tabac sampler a couple weeks ago, and had some Fire gars in it. Touch of spice. I'd say medium bodied though it could be agrued to be medium-full by others. Even burn but not too fast, so the deep flavors sticked around for a while. Kept me warm while I was shoveling snow at 7pm one night so everyone else could get in the driveway.

Welcome Sir.

Byt he way, it is customary that you send the first person to call you Sir on the board a few cgars.

Not really.
