So for my First introduction post..... my name is Dane, like great Dane. Haha. Sorry everone gets it wrong the first time, anyway I work in Healthcare for Veterans. Love my job and wouldn't do anything else. My first cigar was in Las Vegas with my old man about 20yrs ago.. he is the person who got me hooked on cigars. I love all cigars. I'm not a noob nor a veteran with cigars but I know a tiny bit. I'm from and live in Colorado.

I'm a big fan of all Connecticut's and Padron is a fav. But I really want to find some good daily smokes that won't make the wife leave me because im paying for pricey cigars everyday. Haha

Well thats a little bit about me, please ask me questions if you have any.

And now ill send some smokes to who ever is next up.... just pm me and send me an address.

This is an awsome group and can't wait to let people experience what I smoke and what all of you are smoking.

That is non negotiable cheno. As per rules n stuff

FNG!!!! you learn fast! Thank you for the gifted turn.

Can I pick myself up?? Does that count? Ruling from a FOG?

Nicely done, snake! =d>

1) A whole list of new cigars to try, with a cuban too. Thank you very much Sun, again I'm amazed by the generosity of this group.

Now, for two other points of conversation. I noticed on your cigars you are labeling them with dates and where you purchased, is this a common way of cataloging? I haven't started cataloging, but I would like to now that my collection is getting pretty big. Any suggestions / preferences?

2) 5280 Picked up Cheno, since he is new, do we need to wait for the tracking number before I pick him up, or can I pick him up as soon as he asks the question?

Also.. Good morning guys.

1. Dating is common especially if you let them rest for a while. Some will improve some won’t with age.

2. Wait until the shipping is posted and the question is asked.

Glad they made it safely and hope there are some you enjoy in there.

The Partagas 1845 is their Black Label blend

The Kooban is a Partagas Short officially, but yeah, a petit corona. It's a tasty little smoke. For clarity not the same company as the Dominican Partagas

I didn't do the dating thing for a while, but started losing track of whom I got smokes from. So I finally gave in to Palama's label shaming [sarcasm] and overhauled my collection

I think I might start dating some of my smokes now. Do you use stickers or what to label them???

I tried doing the labeling and quickly fell off the habit because I'm just lazy that way. But I do usually try to print out my list when hit so I can attribute the stick to the gifter. Sometimes things fall thru the crack tho. The lazy thing again. I used to just write on the label if it was in cello. Naked sticks I would make a little band out of paper and tape.
