Jump in any time you feel like it, dr3w. None of us started with Koobans and rare limited boutique smokes. At it's core, this PIB's about establishing trade cred and trying out some smokes you may not have come across yet. The malicious generosity just kind of evolved somewhere along the line.

Yea, I'm getting there! Jumping in as I can. Just gotta get started first. But honestly, I'm super stoked to have found this site and community. It looks like y'all are having fun and enjoying some great smokes. Oh and it don't matter to me how expensive, cheap or rare a cigar is. Just as long as I can find some I enjoy.

On that note, got to enjoy an Alec Bradley Sun Grown Robusto the other night. That was a very enjoyable smoke! I'm learning that I really enjoy the creamy but medium/full kind of profile. It's certainly fun learning what I like and trying new smokes. Definitely have been needing something like this in my life.

Early on in the cigarette to cigar transition, I consciously kept my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth for weeks to prevent reflexively inhaling

The other funny part is skip ahead a couple years, and during a stressful moment, I bummed a cig from Mrs. Beach. Found I had trained myself so well I had to will myself to inhale again
