Okay okay so, I've been mostly lurking around here for a bit (made a few posts) but never formally introduced myself. Please allow me to make your acquaintances. I'm an older guy (knocking on 70) that's been smoking cigars exclusively for the last 28 years or so. What I mean by that is I no longer smoke cigarettes. Started smoking when I was around 12 or 13 and of course I had a few cigars during those early years but they were all of the drug store variety. When I first got into premium cigars it was mostly Punch, HDM, and Davidoff thousand series when I could afford them. Then the "Boom" came and those became almost impossible to find. I smoked alot of crap cigars during those years but scored some good ones whenever the opportunity arose. Things have come full circle now and it appears to me that we are on the verge of another cigar boom if the nanny government will allow it. Lots of good stuff on the market at fair prices too. A few sticks I really like that are reasonably priced, RP 90, CAO Brazilia, 5 Vegas Miami, JDN Antano, and Tattoo. My favorite CC's are RyJ coronitas en Cedros and Monte #4. My nick "elRopo" dates from the days when I owned a channel on the undernet called "Herfin USA" and my avatar is a pic of the world famous "Squid Roe discotheque y billy kitchen" in Cabo San Lucas. Fishing is my other hobby, I used to shoot skeet and trap but my age is creeping up on me. I'm also a fair hand at barbecue. I look forward to insulting as many of you as possible in the near future. 🇨🇮

Welcome to the asylum.

Wish id gotten into cigars about 5 years before I did, seems I missed the sweet spot for deals by a couple years, but managed to get a few in. Sounds like you've seen all the ups n downs

Welcome!

So you've been around awhile? Do you like camping?

Oh, and why insult? What's really wrong with you? Don't go getting all blue in the face because your balls bounce on the floor when you attempt to run (that is before your broken hip)

You're too old for camping.

Or this old man

Welcome!

Welcome.

If you ever want to have an intelligent conversation about "shooting", talk to knokmdwn.

He is a top notch "target" shooter. I believe he is ranked 4th in the USA . . . and a pretty nice guy too.
