Hi folks,

New to this forum, and cigar smoking in general. Really enjoying getting into this, so much to learn, and limitless choices in cigar offerings. Seem to be gravitating to med/full - full strength cigars. Thought I would be a mild-med guy, but the ones I tried, just don;t do anything for me.

Anyhow, just wanted to say hi, and hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Welcome, smoke what ya like! And grow a thick skin. Pretty abrasive around here, but these guys and gals are great folks, and generous beyond belief!

Utilize the search function, it is your friend, first search should be for " Thonginator"

#1, Backwind for a skydiver, may not be a good thing, just sayin.....

#2 - Pancakes over waffles any day

#3 - I have a very thick skin. Being a noob in the skydiving community, it was a necessity. I can also dish it out as good as I get it :)

Looking forward to learning a bit here on my cigar journey. Time for a smoke, while I search "Thonginator"

Welcome.

In my experience the first cigars I enjoyed tended to be big power flavor bombs the full/full.

Once i started to pick up on different characteristics in different cigars, I started moving away from those and gravitated toward the milder end of the spectrum.

Just my take, being fairly fresh in cigars myself.

I like this place, it's small, you get to know most everybody here. Welcome and do stick around. Not many do...
