started off about four years ago. was in maine working the blueberry harvest and bought a pack of tiparillos (!) in a grocery store, thinking it would be a hoot to puff on them around the campfire at night. discovered i sort of liked them and bought some more. a year or two later i went into a 'real' cigar store and started trying handmades. been smoking all handmades (with an occasional all-tobacco machine made like schimmelpinninck or marsh wheeling) about 2 years.

Damn you Jamesconnors! Eleltea was RIGHT! LOL!

Just when I thought all of you guys were gonna come clean too!

I've been enjoying cigars all of my life. I've always enjoyed the aroma. BUT, I've only been smoking them for about the past 2 years...I'll have to do a thread check and see...
