Just joined the site last night and am glad I did.
I've been a member on other auction sites for quite some time, but no sites for cigars. This is a first.
I've been smoking cigars for many years, but am getting much more "into it" now that I'm single again - and don't have to listen to any negative comments from the wifey/ex/her kids.
I prefer medium / full flavored cigars, and like the torpedo / belicoso shapes in a Toro sized cigar, but appreciate any strength if it's a good cigar (great appearance, flawless draw and burn, and consistant flavor).
My favorites are Man O' War Ruination, Man O' War Virtue, Pinolero, San Lotano (yeah, I really like what AJ Fernandex makes), Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne, and K Hansotia's Park Avenue.
I was lucky enough to vacation in the Virgin Islands a few years ago, and got spoiled with the availability and selection of genuine Cuban cigars (love Cuban Monte's).
Looking forward to reading everyone's input on handmades I haven't tried yet.

Welcome!

Welcome to the neighborhood challenger09.....hope ya stick around and get to know these good people.....

Aloha from Hawaii 👍

I take it you're a Mopar guy?

Pancakes or waffles? (...choose wisely...)

Thanks for the welcomes! Everyone seems very nice here on the forum.
Yes, I'm a MOPAR guy. I have a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 that I've modified. I show and race her. Summers are too short here in Upstate New York.

Hey Dad, I thought New York was a city?

Nearly everyone does, mikey. They think the entire state is concrete and blacktop.
You can imagine the looks I got from friends in Virginia when I told them that I've hunted all of my life. They wanted to know "Where"? I told them "at petting zoos.....where else?" 😰

Welcome to cbid. Pm me your mailing address when you can.

Ya, I was kiddin. Everybody thinks that when you live in Texas you ride a horse, wear boots, and shoot buffalo and chase Indians. I do none of them

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome

You don't? 😰

Thanks for all of the welcomes, folks. Good to be here!

Welcome Challengerdad. Just a couple of things. If the divorce isn't final yet, the not quite ex wife shall be referred to as "X2B". Many guys around here have had them...and most are just referred to as the ex by now, or some other less savory name. And not everyone here is nice. Like me. I can be an a-hole prick sometimes, but your initial post was solid.....nothing stupid like offering to trade cuban machine made cigars for high end NC's. so far, so good.
MOST are nice here. Some incredibly so. You will learn a lot from this bunch of loons. I have. Oh...and beware of anyone requesting you address. If you oblige, You may need to plan on replacing your mailbox in the near term.
And finally, if you haven't already, PM Fishinguitarman and tell him u need a vet. Butt.......search thonginator first....just so you know......
Welcome, have fun and enjoy the ride!

No Sir. I was raised on a farm, worked at a Vet's clinic while in high school, had my own cows, drove an old pick-up, chewed Red Man tobacco, listened to C&W music I do none of that anymore. I left all that stuff way behind.

LOL!
SHR1 - There's no "pending" status.... I was running "Wife 2.1", but I found out that that program was, in fact, an operating system that had serious conflicts with my existing OS - "Freedom 2.0". It also came with intrusive piggy-back programs called "KidsFromPreviousMarriage 1.0 - 1.4" that seriously compromised all of my other programs. I uninstalled "Wife 2.1" and the piggy-back programs two years ago, not by using the "system recovery", but have installed a completely new operating system called "RoomToBreathe 2.0". Works nicely! I'm sticking with that for now - considering downloading a demo called "Girlfriend 1.1.0". I understand it's compatible with my current OS and is easy to uninstall if there's any conflicts at all.=d>
As for my mailbox, it's in an "apartment cluster" here at the Hokey Pokey Clinic, - "A place to turn yourself around", so I'm not worried. If one goes, they ALL go!
I give everyone the benefit of a doubt. We all make mistakes (see above OS discussion) and unless someone goes out of their way to be a "Richard" on a regular basis, I can take it as well as I can dish it out. So far, I have no complaints at all. Got my brother on the site yesterday. I don't think he's explored the forum, but he's a less "sociable Richard" than I am. 🇨🇮
Looking forward to reading reviews on puros I haven't treid yet.

And BTW - I'm about the same distance from the US - Canadian border as I am to NYC. No accent, no worries.

Gotta be north of Albany. A lot of people have no idea how rural upstate NY can be---real nice country.

Hi.

What are some your favorite cigars?

Actually, Tony, just a stone's throw SW of Albany. And you're right... If they wanted to make a REAL "Survivor" episode, they could drop some folks into the Adirondacks and see how they fare for a week there. Easy to get lost up there on foot - even with a compass and GPS. We've had a rash of Moose appearances recently. The herd is growing - and they need a LOT of acreage to survive. Too bad the taxes are so high and Government is so Liberal here. 😞
